it should be done, but tomorrow we will, well not tomorrow, at the next meeting we will vote to shorten the procedure , when it has already passed, if i am not mistaken, the half-term has actually already passed, and we will vote on it, so the question is, why we will vote because the ministry of defense, as we were told in the committee today, sent a letter to recognize it as urgent, we open the rules and it is clearly written there that it is urgent to submit the law. project, it is only the president or by decision of the verkhovna rada, the government or the ministry of defense, they are not the subject of such a submission, and tomorrow, including at the committees, we will discuss whether we obey the laws, whether anarchy has already gone, and whether it could be, mr. colonel, that this draft law , which will pass all the votes in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, will simply not be signed by the president, as it is a law, i have already talked about it... i have repeatedly said that you know what

could happen to me, we will go through all this now, we will take all the negativity, because the draft law on mobilization is a negative, and it could be someone's, including such an operation, let's say it to discredit it against not signing it, we've already gone through it more than once, i 've already talked about it publicly, that there is such a threat, given that the president has, let's say, such a habit of not signing draft laws submitted by the verkhovna rada, and the verkhovna rada... yes , it does not have the opportunity, although it has all the legal grounds, opportunities, levers of influence for this, but it does not use it, it simply, well, the monomajority, waits for what they the president's office will say, we can't there is no way to influence this, many wonderful laws have been submitted and voted on that the president should sign, but he does not sign them, so of course there is such a threat, and when you vote for such a bill, you also think about it, and will not use your vote someone who will later ... point fingers at you, but look, it's

all of them, we didn't want that. well, why am i asking, because the previous law, which lowered the lower limit of those who are mobilized from 27 to 25 years old, it has not been signed, the president, it is, it is lying, yes, and the verkhovna the council again took responsibility, this is not a popular law, because yes, it lowers the age, so is the bill on the write-off of military property, when we say, this is a glaring problem, and yesterday the president... was directly, as he says, there somewhere at ground zero, on the front line, well, let's say zero, let them call it ground zero, on the front line, but if he was, i say in the right line, then he should have been told about this bill, because it's the cry itself, one of the most glaring problems next to the lack of ammunition, something that people can't write off the property, which has been there for two years, was either destroyed in the war or lost, and they need to make such piles of documents so that they

can be accounted for... and we say that we are worried about our soldiers, and at that time this the draft law is lying, ready, waiting for signature, but no one signs it, and that is the attitude towards our military. mr. colonel, what will happen if the verkhovna rada of ukraine passes this law, and the president does not sign it and says, well, this bill was actually prepared by a team of hard workers, and that is why i am against it, because it is necessary there to mobilize 500,000 people, we cannot in... make it so that these people leave and our economy there collapses, because there is already an appeal from the european business association, not to adopt the government draft law on mobilization rules without finalization, because it can paralyze , as they consider the work of a part of the country, the game of good and evil investigator, or good and evil president, here, that is, the team of the hard-working is going, these are the problems of the hard-working, the council does not

approve, the draft law was prepared by the government, and the commander-in-chief in this situation as will look i think, in any case, how can he make himself look like a winner, if this bill, of course, is not a popular bill that limits rights, and it is not about 5,000, it is about, let's say, giving rights to the tck, it's about restricting rights, it's not about 500. it's about those who will be framed and then taken away, and here the question is, of course, when you come out and say, i won't sign it there, it 's all deputies, or it's all a team, of course, people will take it because they are unpopular, signing it will be an unpopular decision, and we understand that the government, as far as we can see, is not yet ready to make unpopular decisions, including those that are imposed on them , including because it is like, like, they gave a slack, but when... you tell them, yes , sign the law

on write-off, they say, but no, well, that 's the type of opposition deputy, although there were 40 different deputies who signed it, and 302 voted, but no, well, we won't, it doesn't matter what happens to this million. suffers, but we will not do this, and we have this at the exit, of course, which is the question that when we see what happens, then impose something on, seeing how unpopular the decision is and that the authorities cannot make them, you wonder exactly whether it is necessary, say, to do something now so that someone from above, violating the constitution, simply does not sign it and says that these are all bad deputies, bad government and bad military, mr. nik, thank you for the conversation, it was roman kostenko, colonel of the security service of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who now watch us there please like this video don't be stingy. very good broadcast, it claims to be

present in youtube trends. well, take part in our survey, today we ask you about whether you are satisfied with the work of the head of the zsu zaluzh. yes no if you're sitting in front of the telly you can vote on 0800 211 381 satisfied 0800 211 382 dissatisfied we 'll tally up that vote at the end of the program then we're in touch with glen grant army colonel of great britain, retired military expert, mr. colonel, i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today, hello, evening, i congratulate you, mr. colonel, in ukraine they are waiting for the resignation of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, president zelenskyi is talking about , that obviously the rotation will affect not only zaluzhny, but also other leaders, including the army,

some power bloc, as he said, what will change in your opinion after the resignation of the head of the armed forces of ukraine, how will it affect the situation on the russian-ukrainian border the front and whether it is advisable to replace the tinned one during the war. first of all, he wants to, when we talk about resignation, yes, he himself will not leave, yes, it is not from, it is not resignation of his own free will, yes, of course, he would not want to leave. himself, of course, then it is about dismissal , yes, about the fact that he will be dismissed, the important thing is that he is a very powerful motivator in our country, there is no better person than him, and of course, to replace him at such a time when

such quite a stressful moment, a difficult moment, such a decision is impractical, i have already made it many times said that a lot of his generals don't... of course, there are a lot of different things, well , they practice as best they can, and of course you can talk, and what do you want from them, they are fighting a war, it's difficult, of course combat experience , in general, combat operations , logistics, mobilization, there is a lot to work on, and of course there are good moments and bad moments, of course, if he, if he is released, then we will lose, ukraine will lose. motivator mr. colonel, how would you characterize the role of zaluzhnyi during the great war, since yes or otherwise, well, we will have to sum up, as i understand it, the activities of valery zaluzhny, what the ukrainian army gained together

with zaluzhny? i think that the first thing, with the brave man... the army believed in himself, they believed in the fact that the brave man covered his rear, he loves his work, it can be seen, you can see how much fire burns in his eyes, this is the warmth that comes from him , and indeed it is very important for the morale of any army. mr. colonel, volodymyr zelenskyi in an interview with italian journalists called the situation: stagnation at the front due to delays with the supply of western military equipment, let's listen to what volodymyr zelensky said. as for the land line, are you correct? and there is stagnation? 14, yes, and and and this is a fact, why?

because there was not enough, there was something missing, sometimes you think that here, here is this date, here there is... they will go ahead, i believe that in terms of the amount of suitable ammunition, there was a delay, and the delay is... there is miscalculation, but to be honest, well, we are not just fighting a terrorist organization, we are fighting terrorists, who are one of the largest armies in the world. mr. colonel, or do you agree with the president's conclusions that there is stagnation at the front, on the land side of ukraine. well, there is no stagnation, but of course there are

specific areas where the russians are trying very hard to break through the defense line, this is not stagnation, and there is no stagnation in the south either, for example, in the kherson region, you see how they are fighting to gain a foothold on the shores . pra, but of course, now we understand what is going on, all such statements now will be that the western partners do not help quickly, but i want to say, in fact, ukraine is very little made in order to produce weapons with their own hands. yes, we know that drones are being produced, but i have already repeatedly said that it is necessary to look for something new, to invent something new, to make it, to work on... high power, to switch to military rails, so here you know, you can throw each other like that

arguments, but we understand that deliveries are quite slow, but ukraine has already received a lot, unfortunately, the government of ukraine acts extremely slowly, and therefore it is really interesting when the replacement will take place, whether the experts will know how to act. sir colonel, zelenskyi says that the lack of western military aid affects the front, and this is absolutely... an understandable conclusion, and obviously this conclusion is before the consideration in the congress of the united states of america, the issue of providing ukraine with aid in the amount of 61 billion dollars. in your opinion, if congress does not pass this decision, what are the consequences on the front? i think the consequences will be great. painful, in particular, when we talk about infantry troops, because they are very lacking

in artillery equipment, but compensating for this, ukrainians, the people of ukraine, provide, buy, order drones, order drones and other equipment, but we understand how big the request is, ukraine must mobilize. and if this does not happen, then there will indeed be great losses. today there was information that the russian army plans to completely capture donetsk and luhansk regions by march 24, the russian federation has already prepared about 500 tanks, more than 600 combat vehicles and at least 40,000 invaders. it is reported. ukrainian center for defense strategies. date: march 24th,

in your opinion, mr. colonel, why is it determined as the month when putin will be re-elected as the president of the russian federation, and how possible is the development of such a scenario that literally in a month the russian invaders can reach the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk region. and part of the kharkiv region? you know, right now i'm going to put my reputation as an analyst on the line and say that they're not going to make it. yes, of course, there are soldiers, there are many of their resources, but on unfortunately, fortunately, their soldiers are not trained, they will not be able to carry out those.

armed aggression. in parallel with this, mr. colonel, the largest large-scale nato exercises have unfolded in europe, and obviously, the north... the atlantic alliance is trying to demonstrate to the russian federation that there is no need to encroach on the territory of the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance. can you tell, in europe, in western europe and in the north atlantic alliance, whether they expected such a scale of the war that

russia is currently waging against ukraine. why i ask because... the first thing is about weapons, which are lacking in europe, obviously it is about ammunition, which is also lacking, lacking in europe in connection with the war in ukraine, why western european analysts and nato analysts could not calculate the scale of the war , which is now going on in ukraine, well... there are so many questions in one question, it is difficult to really answer, but first of all i want to say that no one expected that the war would last so long, we really understand that we were not ready before such a great war, we thought that such active fighting had ended

actions with the end of the second world war, but you see how with the... politics at the end of the war, they reduced their military capacity of the european countries after the second world war, they did not produce weapons, but they really have a lot of missiles, a lot of planes, so again after all, if russia attacked them, they would not let her do it so easily, they would give a powerful rebuff, so i think the opposite, even if they have less human resources. and we understand the quality of the training and education received by the military, nato, compared to soldiers nato. mr. colonel, if this conflict between russia and the north atlantic alliance does happen, more precisely, russia

will attack one of the countries of the north atlantic alliance. how would you rate the chances of the russian federation. in this confrontation, or they lose immediately, it could be in a month , yes, we have to remember how much resources the united states has, the national guard, the army, that is , about a million troops there, if a... the united states enters into this war, we understand that the conflict will take on a completely different character character, and russia will suffer irreparable losses. if this conflict unfolds, is it possible to repeat the situation with the second world war, when there was this block, hitler's, a large block of italy, germany, japan,

can in this situation... er, russia enlist the support of north korea, china, iran, syria and other countries that can enter putin's conditional bloc, which will fight for the western bloc. an extremely good question, because i believe that this putin bloc, as you called it, i believe that he already exists what we're talking about now is actually support from other countries, even with countries like india, brazil , which, saudi arabia, which actually in one way or another, they tend to gravitate towards the putin bloc rather than the western , and so i want to say, of course, the role of china is very important, you talked about this country, china

is extremely powerful, but you know that china is behind... i'm not sure that the chinese economy will survive, survive such powerful sanctions that will be poured into the chinese market itself, and therefore i i think that china will play this game that they are playing, saying that we have nothing to do with it, but secretly supporting russia with the resources that russia is asking from them. but, colonel, we see north korea trying to join the war. russia against ukraine, their ammunition is found on the territory of the ukrainian state, russia fires north korean missiles at ukraine. we see north korea provoking south korea, and obviously this is also part of vladimir putin's grand plan to

have war points on the world map as much as possible, that is, the middle east, north korea, maybe somewhere else there can be the same point of war in order to then enter into negotiations with... already with the north atlantic alliance or with the americans and prove that the war that he is waging in russia against ukraine - this is not a war against ukraine, but against the whole world, well, in order to justify its aggression against ukrainians, is this possible? i don't think so, i don't think that the western countries or nato at that... at one time or another will go to any negotiations with putin at a time when he is now in the role of neo-hitler. i sure he will try to create

these hotspots wherever he can . we are talking about both north korea and taiwan. and, of course, there are various regions in the middle east where, again , it is possible to destabilize the situation, but i'm fine. world war, so actually the way they are doing it now with israel, you see they are helping israel so much, but feeding the palestinians as well, i'm sure there will be a lot of thinking, there will be a lot of action that will be directed toward diplomacy itself. colonel, i thank you. thank you for the conversation, it was retired british army colonel glen grant. friends, we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our

youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live there. please do not forget to like this video, write comments under this video, and most importantly, take part in our survey. today we ask you about whether you are satisfied with the work of the head of the armed forces of ukraine. yes, no, it's pretty easy on youtube if you 're sitting down. in front of the tv, take to smartphone or phone and vote if you are satisfied with the work of zaluzh 0800 211 381, no 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 , we have ms. ivanna klympush tsintsadze, people's deputy of ukraine, chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on ukraine's integration into the european union. mrs. ivano, i greet you. congratulations and thank you for being with us today. good evening, thank you for the invitation. well, first of all i would like to ask you about zelensky's wishes

should be dismissed, because it became obvious from the interview with italian journalists that there will be a personnel rotation, and the personnel rotation will affect not only the head of the armed forces of ukraine, but also other people, as he said, the leaders of the state, although for me it is very difficult. it sounds like heads of state, because he talked about the five or six managers he has, does this mean that zelensky is ready to dismiss andriy yermak, oleg tatarov and other heads of state who are part of these five or six , a pool of five to six people, a pool of five to six people who have not no powers and legal grounds , to issue any orders at all , to pressure, demand and give for... tasks yes, i think that they are not going to be changed , president zelenskyi feels

quite comfortable and convincing in the bath they have created for him , he, i think, feels like he is with them, but unfortunately, we really see that during the last week, the entire foreign press is full of reports that president zelensky has... the intention, and this is according to various sources confirmed there our colleagues journalists from abroad, is going to dismiss the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, and indeed today the ukrainian society will learn that he really thinks about it from the mouth of the president himself, but not from any ukrainian broadcaster and not through an interview with the president of ukraine and not through his appeal to the eye, which every... daily appeal to ukrainian, to ukrainian society, but through an interview, again to the foreign press, italian media, i am sorry that

president zelenskyi... despises so much citizens of ukraine, who cannot manage to conduct a serious and mature conversation, if he really has complaints against the head of the government and to conduct a serious conversation with the ukrainian society, unfortunately, all this is this red tape, this is this information that is spreading about the conversation, and zelenskyi and zaluzhnyi, about zelenskyi's demand for zaluzhnyi to write a statement. about the resignation and there about folding up his powers, it does not add confidence, in the real internal cohesion and understanding of the role in this cohesion of the head of our country, and that's exactly the kind of movement, if he is will be approved by president zelenskyi, will be perceived negatively by our partners,

we must understand with you that... despite the fact that they will obviously talk about the fact that it is there, well, it is absolutely the authority and an internal matter of ukraine, it is really is an internal matter of ukraine, but you and i understand that our partners treat the huge, huge work that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine has done over these two years, even more so, while in his post. and any trust that is built up over a long period of time between partners and any ukrainian and heads of these or other institutions, it is not easy to build, and general zaluzhny definitely has a high level of trust of both ukrainian society and the ukrainian armed forces, defense forces,

as well as our partners, any such... aimed at its elimination, i am convinced, will not provide additional, let's say, positive arguments in our further, in our further effort to obtain additional, in particular, military aid from our partners, i i think that the question of ukraine, mistrust of ukraine due to such actions of supreme commander-in-chief zelensky will only increase. mrs. ivano, ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america. oksana markarova reported that the us senate could vote on the bill on the international aid package of the united states of america, including for ukraine, as early as february 7, but the speaker of the house of representatives of the united states of america, mike johnson, said that he would not put the bill to a vote. this bill even worse than we expected and not even close to ending the border disaster the president has created if this

bill reaches the house. representatives, he will die on arrival. well, trump said that the senate bill on aid to ukraine, literally, only durin or a radical left-wing democrat will vote for this document, said the former president of the united states of america. how do you assess the passage of this bill, because zelensky says that there is a lack of aid from the united states america has a strong influence on... the course of the russian-ukrainian war, folks, and this is obvious, do the united states of america realize the consequences of delaying the adoption of this bill? well, from all those sources and the public ones that you are now, that you are now turning to and our interaction there and trying to get information, understanding from

our partners, the united states of america, we really get a very low chance that, information about that there is a very low chance of passing this bill, ah, whatever included, including this decision, which was worked out by the senate, about the border, for its passage in the lower house of the american congress, and this is a crazy challenge, moreover, we see that in parallel the republicans are making another move and... planning in just the house of representatives to consider a bill on providing exclusive aid to israel and the biden administration says that the president will not sign this separate bill, you and i are now between the hammer and the anvil, we are within the framework.
