to introduce today's first guest, serhiy krivonos, reserve major general, first deputy, former first deputy commander of special operations forces and former deputy secretary of the national security council. mr. general, i welcome you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. general, during the last days of mass dismissals and appointments in the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine, i counted 16 positions, 16 high-ranking military officers went to resignation or in reserve, i do not know, the office of the president of ukraine does not inform about it, and 16 new managers have arrived. how do you assess this large personnel rotation and how appropriate is it at the current stage? war and in general, to what extent such a change in personnel , a large change in personnel, is now expedient, from my

point of view it is not expedient, not only that, such actions of the authorities release such a powerful mass of people, dismissed from their positions, they are not yet dismissed from the ranks of the armed forces, they brought in their majority at the disposal of the released only general major ostashchenko, former commander. of the military and medical forces, then i will say yes, yes, the way the authorities acted, it is shameful and simply, you know, indecent, to put it mildly, although i do not think that there is a word for the existing authorities... decency, because in 22 year, in the months of february and march, when certain people were quietly gnawing away at the minnow in the basements of the president's office on the bank street, it was precisely these generals, together with the ukrainian people under the leadership of general zaluzhny, who stopped the russian onslaught, and i do not thank anything so

simply vile, for the corner was released by decree, then you just know, this is the highest point of cynicism and dishonesty, but this is not the first time, let's remember how general mozhenko, who at that time represented ukraine at international meetings in brussels, was fired , he was fired and those meetings multiplied by zero, yes general pavlovsky was released at the same time, he was also at the international arms exhibition and resolved issues, carried out successful agreements on... i also delivered weapons to ukraine, in fact, they were released and these negotiations were canceled, so i did not sell anything, let's say something new, this is just repeating such systematic dishonesty and ingratitude of people in power, well, where does their gratitude come from, they did not serve in the army and do not understand what officer cleanliness is, and

in general, what honor is in the general sense. mr. general, you did not mention yourself in this list. general kryvonos was one of the first to be dismissed by the current government from the position of deputy secretary of the national security and defense council, it was in 2020, you can explain why you were dismissed then, why these generals were dismissed now, because you are all heroes of the russian-ukrainian war, you are the people who passed these 10 difficult years in this war. and just throwing out this cohort of people who carried the armed forces of ukraine, well, i mean the leadership, well , it looks absolutely absurd, in a rather difficult situation, in which we are now. in fact, everything is very simple, against the background of those people you listed,

let's not touch me, it will not be entirely correct, but precisely against the background of those people who were called by the anger of the armed forces. and currently, who have now been dismissed from those positions, these are all people who sitting in the president's office, they look just like that, pitiful fools, no more, no less, so why should they be compared with those who look courageous, professional, who have lived brightly all their lives and defend their ukraine, fearing nothing, no one being jealous and doing their job professionally, that's why they removed them and... have now recruited a new team and they hope that it is the new team that will be silent, although i am more than sure that this is a temporary complacency, because both general syrsky and those who is with him they will also ask the authorities why the existing law on mobilization does not work , why the economy does not meet the needs of the armed

forces, why the political leadership of the country does not implement the law on mobilization, why the mobilization plan is not signed... and not disseminated, why no enterprise of ukraine received a mobilization task, for many reasons, precisely what concerns the existing law on mobilization, and there is a huge number of points that are not fulfilled by the supreme commander-in-chief, his cabinet of ministers, and ministries, and the military in to this law are purely consumers of the powerful work that should be organized by the political leadership. unfortunately for ukraine, they did not do this, for whose benefit is it? well, it only benefits the enemy, so draw your own conclusions , dear ukrainians, why it is not being done, or they can’t, if they can’t, then let them make room for professionals, there are enough of them in ukraine, and let these professionals launch that system, the ability to protect themselves and

powerfully prepare both their own people and use the power, the ability to our economy. after... after zelensky dismissed zaluzhny, there were many conversations and discussions about who oleksandr syrsky is and whether he can be, well, at least under the new zaluzhny, or let's say, the new syrsky and the leader of the armed forces of ukraine. you know very well the team that has now joined the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine, they were in other positions, respectively in the second and third positions there. in the armed forces of ukraine, but these are also people who went through the war and are going through the war together with the servicemen and with you, including what this the team according to yours... is different from the team that left, that is, to simply understand what the difference is and why this team turned out to be better than the team that was retired, well, for zelenskyi, first of all,

she, she did not appear absolutely, because it is just starting to work and has not shown any results, of course, in this team, there are certain people who do not yet have experience working at the operational-strategic and strategic levels, and this can be quite serious. to influence a certain situation, because green power already made such certain, you know, popular rotations for myself, let's remember the dismissal, the mass dismissal of the military commissars in the past, last summer, and exactly what it led to , the military commissars were removed, only one was put in prison, the others were simply covered with mud, nothing and thank you, and sorry, as a result... currently the situation is the same, cool cambric doesn't define that he will be a cool staff

officer, or how long it will take him to become a powerful staff officer, so it 's just a battle for the popularity of one actor who standing on the stage and can't to carry all those who are more popular than himself. mr. general, but those who were dismissed from their posts, combat commanders, combat generals, obviously, no one is talking about them now and no one is talking about their prospects, because in principle, the knowledge that these combat generals possess, including and you, obviously , most of the world's armies do not have such experience, because they do not lead lashes. you have a unique experience together with those who were already released together with valery zaluzhny. why do you think the authorities do not

use your experience and do not try to offer the generals some teaching positions in universities, some positions where you were useful, why does general kryvonos not share his experience. to those who study, to those who will go to the battlefield tomorrow. i pass on my experience, but i do it without phishing certain things, because the authorities persecute and ostracize those people who communicate with general kryvonos. even in the modern command of special operations forces, there is a survey, and they immediately ask what kind of relationship do you have with general kryvonoksky, what kind of relationship can you have with someone who served with me 5, 10, 15? 20 years in the same system , of course, we know each other, of course we are like brothers , but these people are now trying to be removed, the same way the authorities treat other people who have now been dismissed, and now the large

number of generals placed at the disposal of the minister, two , receives a salary for two months, then it is not clear what, it is unclear, how they will supply in fact, or you will resign precisely because of your health, or you will simply beg, this is not the first time. this is done, and looking at it, for some reason i remember a russian song, it is in used to be heard in songs, the mistake of the resident and the family generously fed me with birch sap, nothing will change, you are used and then they throw out garbage, eh, and this does not mean that we have to hold a grudge against the state, because the state has nothing to do here , just like the leaders of some willful cases who fell into such chairs, oh... such things are done by simple green envy and the desire to spit in people 's souls instead of helping and er

strengthening themselves, normal leaders surround themselves with professionals, and not sycophants and those who sing praises to you and for swaying that swimming. as for other generals, you are absolutely right, the experience of these generals can be actively used and... including foreign ones, i think proposals will come, and maybe these people, if the state does not see directly. now we will restore contact with general kryvonos, some problems arose, we had some problems with communication, please, mr. general, and these people can absolutely calmly transfer their experience in foreign armies, in their own time and i was repeatedly offered even to accept... the citizenship of one of the leading countries in the world and to resume my rank in the army and transfer my experience to nato countries, but ukraine is ukraine and it is my homeland,

as well as... that the generals, no matter what, will remain in ukraine and will pass on experience to soldiers and educate the next generation. the government does not deal with this issue at all, let's remember how successfully it froze the five- step program, which precisely provided for the strengthening of ukraine's defense capabilities, not only armed forces forces, and of ukraine, but the authorities were not interested in it then and are not interested now, they are trying to appoint military officers as scapegoats, but... from the category that, unfortunately, when they serve, they do not have the right to criticize the authorities, but when is already being released, then probably there will be many of them who will be able to tell how it was really there in the sidelines and dungeons of the bank, when mice quietly rustled on the green lawn. mr. general, our youtube viewer serhiy popovsky asks, please ask what general kryvonos is doing now,

so i'm forwarding this to you for. question, i will answer this question personally, because i have already answered, i help many, many soldiers who are currently preparing or fighting, consult, advise, well, i also try to protect our soldiers, take part in legal proceedings for the persecution of heroes of ukraine, real heroes of ukraine, the same roman chervinskyi, or today there was a trial of major malakhov, whom the authorities ... fellow employees, this is also now a part of my life. mr. general, in the previous broadcast , when we talked about the prospects of general zaluzhnyi, and then the question was resignation, not resignation, all these conversations that took place, and today, as i understand it, it became clear to me, now finally, what will happen next

because of... you hinted about this, that the current authorities may initiate some cases against general zaluzhnyi and not only about general zaluzhnyi, we were talking about those people who know how to fight, who know how to lead large collectives in the armed forces of ukraine. mariana bezugla, the deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, who held on to this chair after the devastating, simply devastating attacks on... zuluzhny, she wrote on her facebook page: the armed forces of ukraine began a functional review. the general staff , units, who is fighting, who is not, headquarters, rotations, well, you understand, who would have reported about this, if not bezula, what relation does it have to all this in general, and is it really important to conduct this is a functional review and some kind

of revision. again, against the background of the russian-ukrainian war and what is happening at the front, what kind of revision can be discussed, when and who will conduct it, the people who came to new positions, people who came to leadership positions, know the situation inside the country very well and within the armed forces, so how can you directly deal with this, mr. general, the head of diplomacy of the european union borel said that russia may launch another major offensive in ukraine after the presidential elections in march, yet one major russian offensive may be launched a few months after the russian elections in march, but i have seen that the ukrainian people remain determined to continue the fight, and i have seen their resourcefulness and resilience at work. this was stated by borel. well, actually, now

we have some problems with communication again. mr. general, forgive me again for the connection and for the fact that this connection is interrupted, borel stated that in march russia may launch another major offensive in ukraine after the presidential, so-called elections in russia, how likely is such a scenario and is our leadership considering such a scenario, because today an interview with syrsky appeared on the tsdf tv channel, it is... a german tv channel, he says that ukraine is going on the defensive, and we are already on the offensive we're not going now, well, we've been on the defensive since the end of last summer, so we can clearly say that there was some activity in the zaporizhzhia direction, in other directions we were actively moving to...
