our father is diligent, the zsu, the family, we have a powerful spirit, a great dane is in our head, he will give an order, we will be in moscow. so, this is about valery zaluzhny, mykola knyazhyts, with us, people's deputy of ukraine, mr. mykola, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, there are many topics for conversation, but i will start anyway. we have read the posts of volodymyr zelenskyi, valery zaluzhnyi erustam umerov, and many people still do not understand what actually happened, the resignation, where is the decree, are we working on it, explain your understanding these posts, everyone has long been talking about valery zaluzhny's resignation, and based on the fact that defense minister rostem omerov thanked valery fedorovych. apparently

, it is still about resignation, although we really haven't seen the decree yet, we have already talked about it several times, and it didn't happen, i think we should still wait for the decree, but i want to join what rustem omerov said and also to thank valery fedorovych, because he became a truly people's general, he was able to unite ukrainian society, he can certainly be proud of the fact that under his leadership the ukrainian army pushed the enemy away from kyiv. liberated kharkiv oblast, the south of ukraine and in general was formed and showed such miracles of heroism that no one even imagined, the fact that zaluzhny himself thanked the soldiers, remembered everyone who, unfortunately, died, said that we will take revenge for everyone, all this , all this is extremely important, and if this is really a resignation, then i personally , of course, regret it, because we should really unite our society and... in

such a situation, we'll see, again, there will be decree or not, but of course, since this is all the initiative of the president, and he spoke about it in an interview with an italian channel, this means that he personally takes full responsibility for everything that is currently happening on the front, well, in fact , he takes responsibility the president and even then the new law on mobilization, which will be adopted, when it is adopted, will also be implemented by other people, obviously, but in any case, let's wait for this decree, well, time has passed and the situation is more or less clarified... , but difficult the situation in our relations with our partners remains, first of all we are talking about poland, although hungary is also planning to block the border there, you have been quite active on this topic, tried to find out and explain to the ukrainians what is happening, why these borders are blocked, well here again the poles, well, the polish farmers first of all say that it is necessary to block and demand something again, what will be the new round, more complicated, simpler, and how to act in this situation, here is politics, or again business, economy? i would not mix one and the other,

because you can talk about the economy and business as much as you want, but blocking the borders, blocking the corridor of solidarity with ukraine, which the european union announced and practically built, blocking our economy in general, because because of this blocking we cannot get not only agricultural products or export, which, by the way, is not sold in poland, because in poland there is an embargo on the sale of most ukrainian agricultural products, and... but we have restrictions on the import of spare parts, gas, goods for our enterprises there, this actually blocks our economy, based on this, it is of course politics, and it seems to me that it is precisely here that the president should take responsibility and immediately initiate a meeting of the ukrainian national security and defense council together with the polish national security council, contact nato, hold a meeting in the format ukraine-nato, as this is a matter of our national security, and it is extremely important.

i hope that the polish government will also make every effort to ensure that the roads are not blocked. you can debate and argue with polish people as much as you want farmers and to discuss the situation of supplies of ukrainian products with polish ministries and the government, but blocking roads is clearly a harm to both polish security and, first of all, ukrainian security. well, actually, today there will be a film dedicated to youtube on youtube . it will be possible to review it, and get acquainted with this topic in more detail, because here it is very important to understand what is behind what, when you have an approximate understanding, you understand how you can work with it further, i am not saying to fight there, but to work further and solve these questions, or that there are issues that, no matter what you do, you have not resolved them, because there is simply a certain position of a certain party, and it really wants you to comment, as a person, again, who communicates with the polish political community and knows their inner kitchen .

andrzej duda's words, he is already criticized there, i don't know if they are accused of treason or what, but his statement about crimea, about trump, about the end of the war, how can it be commented and... explained for ukrainians, again, for the poles, it is obvious that there is an explanation, please, i think that these are different things regarding crimea, i think that this is such an incident or a mistake by the president of poland, later he tried to correct it, he gave the following interview and said that he supports the territorial integrity of ukraine, including crimea, this is very important, but of course, to allow such things, as he said in his first interview, a person in such a position should not, although because, at least from the point of view of history, crimea was definitely... was the longest part of the crimean khanate, and the crimean tatars are an indigenous people there, and about their fate must be thought, there are different regions in different countries, which at one time were in one or another empire, poland also has so many regions, this does not mean at all that anyone has the right to review the borders. as for

the statement that refers to trump, duda has always been a supporter and supporter of trump, it is enough to remember that after the election of biden, he did not even, i think, congratulate him then, and they did not meet for a long time. these meetings began after poland, and we thank the polish president and the government and all poles, showed solidarity with ukraine, supported ukraine during the beginning of a full-scale aggression, and before that, well, duda spoke all the time and admired trump, and his political power had the most contact with trump, so for me there is nothing strange about this, it is another matter to say that this trump's decision, forgetting that it should actually be the decision of ukrainians and the ukrainian people, who are paying a high price. and for their own safety, but most importantly for the safety of the whole of europe, it seems to me that this is a mistake. well, and yanovych, i want to ask you how the policy, here is the procedure dismissal, appointment, new leadership , first of all, of the armed forces of ukraine, this is purely the prerogative of the president, can it somehow be stretched in time, in your opinion, how quickly

can such decisions be adopted, were they discussed with valery zaluzhny, again , if he is fired, well, the zaluzhnyi said today that they discussed it, but in fact we perfectly understand that... these consultations and conversations have been going on for a long time, and it was after the first such conversation that there was, there was the first information that the zaluzhnyi would resign, or will be sent there, in what form it will be, we do not know, because there is no decree yet, we need to see the decree, so we will see and then we will speak, that is the prerogative of the president and the responsibility of the president, and everything that will continue to act will definitely be lie on the president, we know that zaluzhnyi's popularity was very high, and people used to divide this responsibility between. the president and the commander-in-chief, will it be so, if the resignation really happens and there will be a new leadership of the armed forces, it will happen, they have already said about it, i am not yet what can i say, thank you very much, mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine was with us, i wish you a good evening, and now we continue, i suggest you listen to

the evening address of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi. yes, we are waiting from second to second, i don’t even want to talk from minute to minute, maybe the president and the supreme commander-in -chief of the armed forces of ukraine will give a clear understanding to the society, which is electrified in anticipation of this news, a clear understanding and maybe reassure people that everything will be well, there can be resignations, there can be changes, and as he says, changes in strategy, changes in performers, or as podolyak says. managers, although again military, these are not managers, these are military, this is how we listen to and watch volodymyr zelenskyi. i heard this, it affected me personally in terms of work, because , as i have already said, i work in an online store, i work with goods that

we receive all the goods, now everything is done quickly, the situation is tense, as you understand, now we will remove some nuances, we will do something. and still feel important the words of the head of our state, and i will say once again that we will actually keep this topic under the control of the information throughout our broadcast until 9 o'clock, oh until 80, from eight o'clock the verdict program, let 's try again, watch, listen to volodymyr zelenskyi, dear ukrainian men and women, today i met with the head valery zaluzhny, it was one of our hundreds of conversations during this war, almost two years of constant analysis of each of the... situations, we discussed the front, threats, directions, all challenges, avdiyivka - extraordinary actions of our soldiers and extreme difficulties in the defense of the city. the zaporizhia direction is very cruel, the southern directions, the challenges of the kharkiv region and

our opportunities, the opportunities of ukraine this year. in the third year of full-scale war. we must make this particular year decisive, decisive. to achieve ukrainian goals in the war. russia cannot simply accept the existence of an independent ukraine. and the very fact of independent life. of our state, but russia will have to accept our power, the experience of two years of this war has convinced, only russia's defeats bring peace closer. each year of this war has its own character. they survived the first year, began to regain theirs, proved to the world that russia can lose. in the second year of this war, we won the black sea, won zim. proved that we can regain control over the ukrainian skies, but, unfortunately, they were unable to achieve the goals

of our state on earth. we must honestly say that the feeling of stagnation in the southern directions and the difficulties in the battles in donetsk have affected the public mood. ukrainians began to talk less often about victory, but the ukrainian spirit did not lose faith in victory. in... the country retains its historical chance, it is our duty to realize it. this year should become the time of ukraine, the time when every ukrainian soldier will know, as before, that the ukrainian state, the ukrainian army, are capable of winning. i am grateful to general zaluzhny for two years of protection. i am grateful for every victory we achieved together, and thanks. to all ukrainian soldiers who heroically drag out this war on themselves.

today we talked frankly about the need for changes in the army, urgent changes. i suggested to general zaluzhny to continue to be together in the team of the ukrainian state. i will be grateful for his consent. today i decided to update the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine. it's not about the call. and even more so not about politics, it is about the system of our army, about management in the armed forces of ukraine, and about involving the experience of combat commanders of this war. every soldier, every sergeant, and every officer who sees the front, understands what decisions are needed, significantly greater technological efficiency of the army's actions, rebooting the generals, headquarters. all levels should know and experience the front as well as soldiers at

ground zero. the combat teams of this war, the commanders from scratch, have to implement their special experience at the level of the entire army, in leadership. currently , the defense force of ukraine is almost a million people who were called up to protect our state. as of today, most of them have not felt. the front as a minority that is actually on the front line, actually fighting, this means that a different approach is needed, in particular to rotation, a different approach to managing the front, a different approach to mobilization and recruiting, all this will give greater respect to the soldier and return clarity to actions in war. dear people, from today to the leadership... a new management team is starting up in the armed forces of ukraine. i want the vision of the war to be

the same for our soldiers in the robot or military unit and for the general staff and the adjutant. everyone whose experience will now serve to renew the armed forces is carefully selected. i had dozens of conversations with commanders of various levels. in particular, today i spoke with brigadier generals andrii. natov, mykhailo drapaty, igor skibyuk and colonels pavlo palisa and vadym sukharevskyi. all of them are being considered for leadership positions in the army and will serve under the guidance of the most experienced ukrainian commander, combat commander, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi. he has successful defense experience, conducted the kyiv defense operation. he also has successful experience of the offensive of the kharkiv liberation operation. i

appointed colonel-general syrskyi as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. today i spoke with generals maisyuk and zabrodsky, their experience in the service of the state. i expect such changes in the armed forces of ukraine in the near future. a realistic, detailed action plan should appear on the table. of the armed forces of ukraine for 2024, taking into account the real situation on the battlefield now and prospects. each combat brigade is on the front lines. must receive effective western weapons, there must be a fair redistribution of such weapons in favor of the first front line. we need to solve problems with logistics. avdiivka should not wait until the generals find out where the drones are stuck in their warehouses. every general

must know the front. if a general does not know the front, he does not serve ukraine. must be. fixed excessive and unjustified staff numbers. it is necessary to build an effective system of rotations in the army. the experience of individual combat brigades, the armed forces of ukraine and units of the state border service of ukraine, where such a system exists, can be taken as a basis. rotations are a must. an obvious improvement in the quality of training of soldiers is needed. only trained soldiers on the first. lines in the structure of the armed forces, a new kind of force, force, is being created unmanned systems, the first commander must be appointed. sirskyi will introduce the command to reboot the armed forces of ukraine in a few days. the year 2024 can be successful for ukraine only if there are

effective changes in the basis of our defense, which is the armed forces. of ukraine. we are all proud of our army. and we must do everything so that it depends on us that the ukrainian army becomes a victorious army. i thank everyone who believes in ukraine, fights for ukraine, works for our victory and helps, helps ukraine. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, i want to answer the president, he does. president, well, general oleksandr syrskyi becomes the commander -in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, he will present the team in a few days, here is the interim verdict of today, which is ongoing, we will monitor this situation, of course, we will listen to comments, involve people who can to tell us more, first of all about the perspective, about the perspective, and now i invite to the conversation serhiy zgurets, director of

the defenseexpress agency, leading the military column summaries of the day, sergey, congratulations, congratulations to you, vasyl, congratulations to our viewers, and we have a little more time today. well , let's devote five minutes to discussing first this decision, which happened, expectedly, but somehow it did, well, we didn't think that it would be easy, but it happened, your reaction, of course, they already thanked you, the syrian new head, well, the situation is really in fact, it looks so difficult for me, yes, because, relatively speaking, now there is an impression that some political realities are put in the foreground, and not clear military goals, because, relatively speaking, when we talk about the situation on the front line, it remains extremely difficult, we understand that there is not enough ammunition, there is not enough personnel, the enemy is pressing in all areas, and to actually carry out a replacement, it seems, is not entirely appropriate, therefore that in fact, as i understand, now there should be a change not only of the one who is employed there, a change of the chief of the general staff, a new

commander of the ground forces, then it is likely that zaborodskyi and masyuk, one of them should be the chief of the general staff. probably zabrodskyi amasyuk will become the commander of the ground forces, well , this is an assumption, but we understand that now we are focused on these personnel changes and we have to understand how it is in the context of changes on the battlefield, because what we have now, we have restrictions on the supply of ammunition, we we have a lack of reserves, we have pressure on the enemy, so that in these conditions of personnel changes we do not lose, well... key points that concern the front line itself, because the president repeatedly mentioned the avdiyivka, the situation there and today, right now and even for sure i don't know what is happening there, because the enemy is trying to cut the main supply line of our garrison there in the southern part of avdiyivka, so in any case, from the point of view of a citizen, from the point of view of an expert, the situation looks extremely difficult, and when a soldier

is removed post from post, then in fact what , does this mean that the military is guilty of not ... breaking through in the south, although we understand that in the preparation for this offensive , all conceptual approaches were violated, without air dominance, without lack, without sufficient superiority in personnel, without a sufficient amount of equipment, everything is equally under political pressure and the current authorities, let's say ukrainian, and our foreign partners, the military began an offensive, and now the impression is that this very performance of tasks is recognized that it is not... was carried out and i think that such passages, well, for me they are not quite clear, because we understand that everyone was preparing the offensive, both the president, the national security council, and its military, that is... everyone understood the risks of these actions in the south and actually achieved what they could achieve so, in any case, i think that there will still be a certain echo from

zaluzhnyi's resignation, because in fact the military must understand that they did something wrong then, that the commander-in-chief was removed from his post, so in any case, in the question remains for me after this decision, well, we will then listen to serhiy rudenko during our broadcast today and obviously people. well, people, experts, deputies, whom will we involve to clarify the situation for us, well, but now, please, i know that you have your own topic for conversation? well, in fact, this decision has already significantly affected the plan of the program that i was preparing, in any case, we can talk about the fact that we will mention avdiivka a little, because during these few days the situation in avdiivka remains the most difficult, there is a number of combat troops. extremely high, now we will see two maps to understand what is actually happening in avdiivka, and we understand that now during the night the enemy

actively used cabs, trying to destroy our defenses, and now, conditionally saying, the main offensive actions are concentrated precisely in the north of avdiyivka, now i will ask that we show our viewers a map and tell about the fact that now the enemy is actually trying to... roll between kohsokhimov and the northern half of avdiivka, we can now see this red dot, this is actually kohsokhim, below it begins this curve of the road that goes right to avdiivka, so we can see that the enemy has been trying to push through for a couple of days already.

to our line of defense, what is there now , the dynamics are not completely clear today, although we know that our units hold this section of the front, but the enemy is trying to pull up reserves, i think that the situation with... remains extremely critical, and when the president talks about the avdiivka, it is also accompanied by a certain transfer of forces and means in order to ensure retention these positions, which are extremely important for the entire front in this direction. now, by the way, we are seeing a video where combat actions are taking place in this area, and by the way, there is another one... which in fact the enemy has now started to use starling in this area, which surprised me greatly, it turns out that there were

purchases by the enemy starinka, and this affected the fact that now the enemy is also trying to use these systems for communication and control of their air reconnaissance units, so in any case, really avdiivka remains an extremely difficult area, forecasting the situation is not yet... not easy , but we understand that it is already in fact, well , the direction that affects the stability of this front line, we also know that prepared positions in the depth of the defense audio units, so far it is not mentioned that we will move on, but we understand that the risk of cutting the supply line, it creates difficulties for the garrison that is currently receiving audio units primarily in the south, we will talk further. about other realities related not only to the front, but to the fact that in fact, well , we need to have the opportunity to obtain new weapons, and when these new weapons

are delayed, then we need to have the opportunity to promptly repair technological solutions, and now to ihor fedyrko joins us, this the founder and head of the vector-optical laboratory, in my opinion, a rather unique team in terms of its capabilities, mr. igor, welcome to the channel. glad to see and hear. good evening. i would like you to tell our viewers a little about the uniqueness of the services and solutions that your laboratory provides in the interests of the armed forces and defense forces. in fact, this is an opportunity to bring back to life a night vision device or a thermal imager, which is already very well known, probably to any ukrainian, for... a relative 5-7% of its price, that is, we we are bringing this device back to life,

that is, in fact, we are talking about the fact that... your laboratory repairs optical and thermal imaging devices that give our fighters the opportunity to see day and night and effectively destroy the enemy, and at the same time will provide a significant saving of money for the purchase of new devices. yes, that's right, and it's not only night vision devices, thermal imagers, it's also other optical and electronic equipment, and recently we've been repairing drones as well. er dj, that is, we try to use every penny we are given as efficiently as possible our donors for returning to service, broken equipment, damaged, cut, splintered, that is, in fact, in any non-working condition, we are trying to restore it and return it to service, as much as the number has now increased.

requests from our military to services such as those provided by your laboratory compared to, for example, last year. if you compare even the indicators of our laboratory for the 22nd 23rd year, for example, in the 22nd year we repaired 650 devices, already in the 23rd year we repaired 2,500 devices, and if looking at the dynamics of the two months of 2024, we are now... repairing 450 to 550 devices per month, that is, we can predict that already this year we will repair about 4-5,000 devices, and this is not even taking into account that we eat in warehouses, that is, we have an incredible number of devices that require repair, that is, from year to year, unfortunately, this dynamic is growing.

the request for repairs is increasing, and of course, in the active phase of hostilities, we receive a significant increase in work and devices for restoration, mr. igor, how are you doing to provide repairs and guarantee quality repairs, given that all these devices are extremely complex technological products, and individual components, well, actually... difficult to purchase, because they have certain restrictions on the purchase there by civilian structures? yes, i completely agree, our biggest problem is details, details, we constantly emphasize this, we ask our partners, donors who are abroad, they can buy some parts there, send them to us, and we will use them for

return. appliances for life, so are we we use and ask a lot of military personnel who have damaged devices that are almost impossible to restore, we still find components and parts there that we can use and return some repaired device to another unit, and of course later on we will thank you with the same service and to the people who give us devices like before... well, of course, without the people, without the team that we gathered in our optical laboratory, it would be impossible to implement, that is, another such most valuable resource of ours - these are people, and once again people, and where did you find such professionals who provide such high-quality repairs, because i think that these are actually, well, unique employees who can understand imported products,

russian products, belarusian, ukrainian, where did you find them and it's true, i deeply respect every person who works for us, ah, i'm sure that they work for, let's say this, no, not the market price, probably somewhere else, for their work, but they understand that they do, for whom they do it and why they receive such wages, and these people we basically lined up all over the country, we have people who... we just found them even in the east of the country, in the front-line zones, in other parts of ukraine, we are also looking for people who understand microelectronics, optics, know how to solder normally, by the way, we have such a school now, which is mandatory, and in reality people who know how to do it skillfully and especially know how to work with microelectronics.

very, very few, these are unique.
