will obviously also be discussed, as well as the change, other personnel changes that will be proposed by the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. let's listen to what zelensky said. i am considering this replacement, but it cannot be said that it is only about one person. if we want to win, we have to push. all in one direction, convinced of victory, we cannot lose heart, give up, we must have the right positive energies, that's why i'm talking about a reset, about a replacement. i mean something serious that affects more than one person, the direction of the country's leadership. today, ukrainian pravda, referring to its sources, wrote that

it is obviously about the replacement of the chief of the general staff, who is serhiy shaptala, and... that it will also be this staff rotation together with the laudable one, what do you think do you know about these rotations? you know, first of all, it somehow looks quite wrong when we have a whole marathon in the country, and we learn such news from interviews with the foreign press, and i think it is quite wrong, because there are all, let's say, the whole society of the majority gave marathon, they said, look... here is the most truthful information and the most reliable, and at the same time, here are the insiders and decisions of the supreme commander-in-chief , telling other newspapers to such publications, in this way, saying that it looks like they will find out in principle, when necessary , but this is what i am informing the world about now i will have such and such intentions, and it

looks very ugly, because the war is going on here, everyone is suffering... suffering here, people live here, news is waiting here, and changes are waiting here, not somewhere in italy or in another place, and i think this is wrong from the point of view of communication, which is fundamentally broken in our country from the very beginning, which is directly related to the issue of changing the commander-in-chief, i have already said my point of view on this matter, my personal point of view, that then complete the task. basically, he is in charge now armed forces, directly by war, the army trusts him, and he is in his place, eh , as for the supreme commander, he has the right to replace anyone who, as for the military leadership of the state itself and his right there to choose with whom he

has continue to fight, but he must also remember the consequences that can be that he is a trusted person in the army. a man from whom , since the beginning of the full-scale war, people have gone through the hottest times, and i believe that they have already passed the hottest times of this war, and many of the people who are now in charge brigades, including other directions, these are people who, in principle, fought with him since the 14th year, so here you also need to understand the consequences and be guided not only by emotions, this is my point of view, but i... yes i understand that your committee does not have any information about whether this rotation will take place or when it will take place, that is, there is no information whatsoever, and i will tell you, i will tell you, and i think that this information is not even there, coming out then there are five or six managers who were talked about, and i am sure that they are not now

they know how it will be, because i will say that according to insiders, even from the president's office, i was told... several people wrote, including that they are shooting 300% tomorrow, it was a few days ago, there is 200% they are shooting the day after tomorrow, 100% budanov, syrskyi or other candidates will be there, they have already mentioned it several times, the whole decision has already been made, then the next day they say something different, and here i understand in particular that the decision has not been fully made, maybe they and they want it and dream of it, but maybe they still don't fully understand how to do it, for some reason i... i think that this decision will be made, but i will probably discuss it when i see the decree, because it often happened with us, when we talked, talked, talked, and then just forgot, i understand that this or they couldn't do it without pain for themselves, or it was simply some kind of information campaign on e, let's say this, well, as they say

, we focus on e not on... some other object, mr. colonel, it's clear , that zelensky, in accordance with his powers, can make a decision on changing the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, and how in this situation, the army will react, because zaluzhnyi has authority, he is known, he is trusted, and he has certain knowledge and competence, respectively, in order to lead the ukrainian army, that is... the legality of such a decision is obvious it makes no sense, because it is the competence of the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, but from the point of view. usurpation of powers by another head and, in general, how this will affect the situation at the front, first of all, the situation in the army in general. this is

a difficult question, and when i say that it is necessary our commander-in-chief must remember the consequences, he must also remember that a diligent general is an authoritative general who is accepted by the entire army, i say again, who fought from the very beginning with everyone, who in principle has those achievements. which we have now, when in principle we have the country and under control most of it, and let's say, we are resisting there, this is also the merit of him and the entire army, our defense force, including what he manages, yes we can strategically say the whole society, but directly, including that, and his merit in this is as the commander-in-chief, so the army... as an army, we understand that military people are important here, of course , there are different people with whom i communicate, they respect the hard worker quite a lot, and there someone says that it is not possible, someone says that we will say yes, but

like now it is all the same who will come, because there is no ammunition, how will you fight, and here you need to take this into account and understand that it is there, even if there the president will decide to change the commander-in-chief, the main thing here is not to let anything happen in the army and to... come an authoritative person who will be accepted by the army , even if this happens, and it is very important, everyone should talk about it and the president should talk about it, because he is a civilian, he does not understand how the army works internally, what is the vertical of the army, what are people in uniforms who suffer there all their lives and, as they say, baldness, go to their positions, who command troops, who sent people to death and now live with it, it is completely different, it is not not appointing a civilian person there ... for some position, this is very important to understand, well, it is necessary to understand how it will be for the other person, if it already happens, we are already theorizing with you, and seeing where everything is going, if

a new person comes there, whoever it is, according to my information, there are not many interested people there , they understand and the commander-in-chief must understand that that person, first of all, that they will immediately need a result from him, give a result, tell me that you are better than the poor guy and that i made the right decision, and to make some result in the conditions a decrease in aid, in the conditions of the collapse of mobilization, and she well the draft law will be adopted there in a month, then after some time it will begin to be implemented and perhaps some mobilization processes will be established at the beginning of the year or at the end, therefore, repeating once again, the lack of ammunition resources, the lack of mobilization reserves or resources, the lack of... even funds for army and to make some achievements there or something that will be needed will be quite difficult, who was not

appointed to this position, and then questions may arise, and it was not so with the meritorious one, or what did you appoint, they became worse, and isn't this treason, these issues need to be taken into account and calculated in advance, including the president's entourage, which informs him of this or that. information and start listening to more than five or six managers in order to understand what the consequences might be. so far , no decision has been made regarding the meritorious service, but today there is the first resignation letter from the minister of veterans affairs of ukraine, yulia laputina, she submitted a statement and the representative of the cabinet of ministers in the verkhovna rada, taras melnychuk, wrote about it. he is the reason for the dismissal did not explain and we know that yulia laputina , she worked in the sbu for quite a long time, she is a major general of the sbu, and she held the position of minister of veterans affairs since december

2020, she is your colleague, mr. colonel, and obviously you know her much better, more than anyone, do you know the reasons why laputina is resigning, yes, we are colleagues, we have never crossed paths in the service at all, in principle, i already saw about her when she was appointed, well, i remember that she serves in the service, uh, let's say, in different directions we worked, uh, i will say that there were various complaints about the ministry directly, specifically, why she wrote a statement, i don't have any information yet, let's say, i haven't had time to inquire yet, but i think there are some main reasons. which, perhaps, this is a kind of preparation for these, broad changes, perhaps in order to create opportunities in them, including meritoriousness,

mr. colonel, this... week the verkhovna rada of ukraine should start considering the bill on mobilization, this bill has been finalized in the government and submitted again to the verkhovna rada of ukraine, or do you know how the procedure for consideration of this bill will take place, whether this bill will be submitted by the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, because today there was information that he submitted bills on extension. mobilization, it happens, if i am not mistaken, that every quarter, that is , mobilization continues in accordance with wartime, do you understand who is the author of this law on mobilization, what are its prospects and what are the main comments of the people's deputies of ukraine to of this project, well, if we are talking about mobilization and extension, then every three

months we... on martial law and, in parallel , on mobilization , we adopt these two draft laws regarding the approval of the presidential decree , and tomorrow we will also vote on this at the committee, well then it will be voted on in the hall, as for the bill itself, well, who is the author? the author is the government, as last time it is the government that submits this draft law, what are the comments, well, i will say that it has not changed much since last time, there are some changes, but especially there... changes there are no such ones, so i will say here that in order to hear the opinion of the deputies, you need to contact each deputy individually, there will be factions, including our faction, which will meet and we will specifically discuss issues related to this draft law in order to adopt the proposed the decision, how it will be , for example, it will be regardless of the fact that there is a vote there in the first reading or an attempt to correct it before the second or there in the first vote and so on... how it

will go, there is still a question before the procedure itself, you are right, because it is somehow unclear how the procedure is going now , there is a regulation, and according to the regulation , these draft laws need to be passed, but now this draft law is at the stage of being submitted to the verkhovna rada, and two weeks must pass, this is the time for people's deputies, for them to exercise their right and submit alternative draft laws, there is a procedure when the parliament votes for it and shortens the terms for submitting alternative drafts, but it is somehow done right away, it must be done, but tomorrow we will, well, not tomorrow, at the next meeting we will to vote for shortening 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 will we vote, because the ministry of defense, as we were told today in the committee, sent a letter to recognize it urgent, we

open the regulations. and it is clearly written there that it can be called urgent to submit a draft law, 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 on in the committees, we will figure it out, and whether our laws uphold the laws, whether anarchy has already gone, and whether it could be the case, mr. colonel, that this draft law, which will pass all the votes in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, will simply be... not signed by the president, as the law , i have already talked about this more than once, that you know what can happen to me, we will now go through all this, we will take on this negativity, because the draft law on mobilization is a negativity, and it could be someone's operation, including let's say discrediting, on the other hand non-signing, we have already gone through this more than once, i have already spoken about it publicly, that there is such a threat, given that the president has, let's say

such a... power not to sign bills submitted by the verkhovna rada, and the verkhovna rada 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 is just a monomajority, they are waiting for what they will be told from the office of the president, we cannot influence it in any way, many wonderful laws have been submitted and voted , which the president must sign, 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 whether someone will use your vote to point fingers at you later, and look, that's all of them, we didn't want it , 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 by the president, it is, it is lying, and the verkhovna the council again took responsibility, this is not a popular law, because yes, it lowers the age, it is the same

draft law... list of military property, when we...
