could be on the territory of the ukrainian state in the future, although he emphasized that there is currently no consensus among the allies on this issue, you, mr. yevgeny, or do you allow that the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance without a consensus decision of nato can send some military contingents to... the territory of the ukrainian state, well, first of all, i thank you for the correctness of the wording, but literally before that, the veterius came across this is the wording about nato troops in ukraine, right away let's really dot the dots for everyone, you worded it very correctly, there can be no question of nato troops at all, because in nato all decisions are made by consensus, and i think that imagine the situation , in which orbán or fico accepted, and even accepted something. sending troops to ukraine, but i think that this is simply beyond the limits of anything possible at all,

that is, we are talking about individual countries, members of nato, which theoretically could send their troops here, well, to be honest, imagine it it is extremely difficult for me, let me remind you that we have not yet passed a much smaller barrier, that is, we are forbidden to use any weapons provided by our partners on the territory of the russian federation, we actually have... they give us some weapons and literally immediately this hand is associated with the fact that, god forbid , you only use it on the legal territory of ukraine, well, thank god, this at least includes the occupied ones. but there is not even a word about russia, do you remember when the actual russian volunteer corps was conducting combat operations in the belgorod region, and in some report there on for a second , only a belgian rifle flashed in the frame, we are not talking about a tank, we are not talking about a missile, a belgian rifle, and there was a whole diplomatic scandal, and it will continue, as

today chancellor scholz, for example, categorically put an end to the issue , said that no no... ukrainians will never have tauruses, and clearly explained why exactly, because i do not want to be responsible for the fact that they will hit the territory of russia with them, and we will thus be drawn into the war, this almost verbatim wording, a little different, well, the point is exactly transferred exactly, you understand, and when they are so afraid of being even indirectly involved in the war, to imagine that they actually send a contingent here to fight, well , to be honest, i have so much... i don’t have enough imagination, but again, further there is one more question: what would it give us? and would we need it? if we talked about some, let's say, missions of military specialists, that is, some advisers, some specialists, let's say, from certain such and such technological things that we do not have now, it would certainly be useful, for example, the same

air defense units together with their equipment and personnel, that would be useful, but... in principle, well, by and large, we have already shown and proved more than once that any technological things, which we don’t have it, we have enough to give, we assimilate them very quickly , we assimilate them effectively, moreover, we sometimes open up such opportunities in them that the developers themselves did not lay, a vivid example of the patriots, well, the patriots, actually, it’s been like this since the beginning a large stationary system is enough, well, it can be transported, but in general... according to the idea of ​​the developers, the whole west still uses it like that, but it is brought somewhere once, deployed there, well , at least for many months, or even for years, and it stands and covers the object, but we were the first in the world to make the patriot a wandering , traveling one, and this touring patriot landed two more drydocks not too long ago today , that is, well, this is not the only thing, that is, we

discovered a lot of things in the same western technologies that they themselves did not have in them saw, that is, in principle for us... the key is that they us gave us weapons, and the more technologically , the better, but would there be as much use to us from their units here, and would the risks actually prevail, but we would have to be responsible for their lives, we would understand that each, roughly speaking a zinc coffin that would come, well, for example to france, it would greatly undermine the support of ukraine there, there would immediately be a whole chorus of voices, and what are our people fighting for on foreign land, blah blah blah, so honestly, eh. .. not only that, i consider it extremely unlikely that the military will be sent here contingents, but i also have a very big question, and would it really do us more good than harm, that is, do we really really need it? in addition to the fact that macron allowed the placement of a foreign contingent on the territory of the ukrainian state, macron also

spoke about the creation of a coalition of medium- long-range missiles and deep-attack bombs against ... russian troops, and he also called on the europeans to produce more ammunition. let's hear what macron said. the priority among priorities is the issue of ammunition. we are significant mobilized the artillery, the coalition, in which, as you know, we played the role of momentum. all of us at the same table undertook to use to the end the stocks that remain in our possession. we also determined third countries that may be mobilized in different categories of munitions and also asked third countries to propose any new solutions. actually, mr. yevgeny, what macron said means that long-range missiles will still enter the territory of the ukrainian state, oh, oh, oh i like his statement much more than the fact that some

contingents are being discussed there, but because it can be a reality, let's go. just hope that it will become a reality , there is no guarantee, by the way, well, this is really a random coincidence of circumstances, but just today i just had a meeting with a french journalist who is really a great friend of ukraine, he has been here since the beginning of the war, and just today he passed through through kyiv, actually directly from the east, directly from, well, not directly from the front line, because foreign journalists are not allowed at all, but where they are allowed there, somewhere around 3 km, somewhere around domguly, but actually he was traveling from there, so we will discuss it with him. all these statements and he said so with a sad smile, he says, well, he says, well , what do you say, you don’t know what our president macron says, he says it took two years of this war for him to finally start talking about... things, well, wait, two years , two years he will start to do the right things, this, i think, is some, let's say, an exaggeration, but here we really

remember that the same scholz, who categorically refused us in particular taurus, but at the same time, in general, in terms of military aid, germany currently gives us several times more than france, which is quite comparable to it in terms of potential, but let's hope that after these words about the coalition of long-range missiles. something serious is really going on, and that we will need more scalps, and these are precisely the french missiles that we have already received, have already used, if even just more scalps become, this is already a very serious increase, and if they find something even more long-range, well, that's in general , that's what we're madly short of, and about ammunition, scholz, phew, scholz, macron said something more important than what he called on the europeans to produce, the europeans don't need to be called to produce, they and so as much as there is time. they produce so much, a million shells have been contracted for us, and they are ready to take more contracts, but they simply do not have time to produce it, they do not have time to fulfill this contract.

something else is more important there: macron finally unblocked the question of whether it is possible to buy for us shells outside the eu countries, because he was precisely one of those leaders who categorically denied it. he wanted all eu money for ammunition to necessarily go to the european industry. and well, in principle , the approach with... the approach is normal, i understand it as a patriot of our industry, but there is a nuance here: the european industry simply does not have time to digest this money and release it into the product in the right time, i'm sorry, the deadline is the deadline, now determines everything here, and it is very important that macron finally removed his own blocking, that he agreed to eu money to buy shells outside of europe, but watching this meeting... macron, mr. yevgeny, got the impression that all trump's statements regarding nato and the fact that the united states of america in at some point, they may not stand up for the countries,

members of the north atlantic alliance, shows that europeans are already thinking about their own security system separately, well , parallel, let's say, to the north atlantic alliance, because, well, otherwise, i just don't consider others motives, which would force there. the president of france and other leaders of european countries to meet, because they talked about the threat of the russians and the fact that in a few years they may face this threat, or whether we are witnessing the creation of another security structure, where it will be obvious that both france and ukraine, maybe ukraine will be there sooner than in the north atlantic alliance. well , i don't know if we already see the creation, but we definitely see the birth, and in general we see the process of the awakening of europe. europe slept in a warm bath for many years, well, the last ones for 30 years, it was just like that, well, just a gentle warm bath with foam, but

in fact, even before that, by and large, this whole european union, which is very comfortable for life, grew up under the american security umbrella, in fact, it is one of those issues in which trump, yes, he also fits here as a destroyer, which. nobody, but in principle, in his very claim to europeans, well, he is essentially right, europe has really blossomed, europe has gained economic, let’s say, its economic prosperity and all these human rights and freedom, it was completely under the protection of the usa, and europe, moreover, did not even want to invest money in it, but it is very cool, very profitable not to spend on your defense, because you know that the taxpayers of texas paid for your defense, and when the government ... in the very formulation of the question, here trump is right, it's just that he approaches this, i say, absolutely not constructively, namely as a destroyer of everything, but yes, he succeeded, so trump and putin

together woke up europe, now we see how europe is alarmed, horrified, finally wakes up after 30 years of a warm bath, the problem is that it takes time, both mental restructuring, and financial corresponding infusions, and the main development of these investments in defense, which now... by the way, have already flowed like a river in europe, it all takes some time, but the process is going in a very right direction. mr. yevgeny, let's talk about the current situation in ukraine. we witnessed how zelenskyy announced just a few days ago that a new counteroffensive is being prepared, but no one will give details let's talk about the details, there will be several options for such a scenario of the development of events, since the last counteroffensive got there in the papers... to the kremlin and this counteroffensive did not take place, but we can now see what is happening on the eastern front, or at least the situation that is commented on by the general staff of the armed forces forces of ukraine and our military leadership.

reports that russian troops continue to occupy villages further west of eudiyivka, that is steppe and northern, today, and deepstate analysts report that russian troops are advancing west and northwest of avdiyivka in the donetsk region, what can you say about the current situation and how fast the russians are advancing, how fast they are, how fast they are and whether they... whether all this is happening according to the scenario that in principle could have been calculated the armed forces of ukraine? but he was calculated, and what's the point of sorry? the point is that the russians don't do anything unpredictable, the russians don't do anything, let's say, unexpected, there are no surprises, but when you know the enemy's plan, when you know what the enemy will do, you just don't have forces and means to prevent this, and this

is exactly the situation. the russians are advancing, well, i wouldn’t call it rapid, it’s not rapid, and the front is not broken, the front is not scattered, but the front bends and bends, the farther it goes , the stronger it is, and it bends for two reasons, one of them is its own already mentioned by you and me trump, and accordingly the projectile hunger was completely generated by him, but you know, when literally today i also talked with guys from that direction, and the other day i talked with guys from robotan, you know in... already there were fewer complaints about shells, not because there were more of them, but because, in principle, well, we are already used to the fact that we have been starving for shells for several months, we already know how to fight under these conditions, yes, it is much more difficult , but in principle we can, but when they tell me that, excuse me, but there were units near avdiivka that were not even equipped with a third of the personnel, when they tell me about what is currently being done at

the platoon support... points, let me remind you that a platoon is 30 soldiers, so when there platoon strongholds from five to eight soldiers, that is, even an incomplete detachment. well, then there are some questions, why the front actually began to bend, there are not enough fighters physically to hold back and put the russian meat assaults in front of them again and again, and i am afraid that this russian advance will not be stopped in the near future. this, by the way, absolutely does not, no, does not remove the question of whether there will be later. our counteroffensive, we are talking about slightly different time limits, now the russians are on the offensive, they seized the initiative along the entire front, they make the most of this window of opportunity that trump first opened for them, but then, unfortunately, our undermobilization added , so we only have two problems, but these two problems are really critical, large -caliber projectiles and people, so the russians were complete fools , if they did not know about these

problems of ours and did not... squeeze the maximum out of them, now they are advancing everywhere, and to be honest, the situation in donetsk region, i would call it very threatening now, frankly, i do not i want to be an evil prophet there well, i’m just looking at, let’s say, the map and some, let’s say, things i really do n’t like, let’s put it this way, i think that in the near future we may lose more than one settlement and not a small movie theater, but but but... in fact then i will return to kirill budanov's assessment, with which i completely agree, that with the losses that the russians are currently suffering in this offensive, they will really be exhausted somewhere by april, but somewhere, well, before or during april, their offensive potential will simply run out, at this time, they have not yet started a new major mobilization will be held, but they are postponing it until they hold this funny event on march 15,

which is considered an election in russia. this is a religious ritual, when they will confirm their loyalty to the sovereign for the next six years, they don't want to break this ritual, so summonses will be distributed en masse only after this ritual, if at the end of march they start handing out summonses, we will really see a new wave of mobs we will see in four months, that is, we count april, may, june, july, somewhere only then they can drive here a new , sufficiently large wave of mobs, then... then from april to at least the middle of summer, we will have a window of opportunity, when they will have already expired and when we could and should go on a counteroffensive, it very much coincides with the fact that, most likely , the shells will arrive just in time for april, yes, no one can guarantee this now, but judging by what is happening, there are not zero chances that...
