and on the part of the united states and to implement joint measures in the interests of our countries on the territory of russia, i.e. it was never discussed that russian and american cia bases were created on the territory of ukraine, this was discussed, is being discussed and always remains as it was, only about intelligence centers, i.e. capabilities of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine. well, this is an extremely important explanation, i think that all the viewers heard and understood. and i would like you to comment on one more detail, this is actually the visit of the director of the cia to ukraine the announcement that it took place there last thursday, how important are such visits, why does a person personally come there, well, to ukraine, does this mean that some extremely important things are happening now, which are somehow similar to the period when the russian federation , well, in... a few days

, was she ready to start and did she start an attack on ukraine? mr. sergey, well, if we look at the biography of the director of the cia, he was generally called the secret weapon of the united states, the secret diplomatic weapon of the united states, by the atlantic magazine in 2019, because this person, he is first of all a high-class, high-professional diplomat, and who was the united states ambassador to russia. he was also behind the preparation of the, let's say, agreement on iran, so this person, he prefers diplomacy, that is, personal contacts, during which he, you know, he can not only capture the reaction of a person, but also understand that in fact, it happens there, and such visits are primarily related to his professional activities, and again, that is, he gives such personal contacts a priority, just like on the eve of the war, when he visited...

to russia, that is, his goal was to make sure , to see, to feel in the interlocutors, that is , in the leadership of the russian special services, and personally in putin, already, as they say, the irreversibility of their decision there regarding military aggression against ukraine, the number of visits is precisely on the territory of ukraine testifies, regarding interest, and strategic interest, and important, you know, such professional things, they are constantly in his field of vision, and what he gives... maybe there is a preference for personal trips there, this is of great importance for ukraine, therefore that's exactly what it is evidence that all the statements of the united states, they are certainly supported at the level of the departments and the line of the department of defense of the united states, but now, in fact , we are all waiting for the unlocking of this significant package of american financial military aid there, and what are your predictions or?

do you accept the situation that a prolonged delay in this aid could have such, well, irreversible leveling processes for the front line that our armed forces are now receiving, and then what the consequences would be, then for the authority of the united states, could you still to assume that this plan b, which was already mentioned yesterday, will be put into action, and we will still receive the much-needed samples of weapons in order to hold the front line and continue to challenge the enemy. maximum impression, when we always evaluate any processes in the development, we always make approximately three options, the worst, what can be the best, but in intelligence it should always give the worst option, and here is the worst option, this is, for example , the fact that we will have to stay there for some time, well, let's say this, with the resources of our european partners, and these negotiations and corresponding decisions are already there today, they have already been adopted. and it seems to me that the most important

thing for our partners to understand today is that not only are the tactical successes of russia in seizing certain villages here and there, they are important, but it is the fact that today the losses among servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine are increasing, multiplying, why, why that precisely in the absence of the correspondingly necessary number of artillery rounds, and including there for far from our combat weapons, but what in the strategic perspective is that all our... partners also need to look at history, because in those occupied territories during those 10 years and the youth who grew up, they are now replenishing the russian army with contracts, and if, if god forbid, they believe that ukraine can still lose this war there, then they must understand that in 10 years, russia will be replenished with the human and, let's say , industrial resources of ukraine, which will significantly strengthen its capabilities and further inspire there further aggression. already

directly, in relation to countries like nato and europe, and they are already starting to think about it today. sir, general, thank you very much for these explanations, for your time, for what you... do for our country and our viewers . intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine. these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the channel espresso. i thank serhii zgorets, i thank his guest, these were the military results of the day. good evening, we are from ukraine. hello, this is svoboda

agencies to determine the degree of guilt of those involved and to compensate the state for damages. in zaporizhzhia, state pyrotechnics services with extraordinary. situations destroyed an enemy aerial bomb, as reported in the press service of the department, experts identified the ammunition as an unexploded high-explosive aerial bomb weighing half a ton. it could not be transported. was equipped with a modified detonator that could explode at any moment, this was the difficulty in removing and further destroying a dangerous object, because of this, the pyrotechnicians decided to eliminate the aerial bomb on the spot by means of a controlled explosion, well, as you can see in the video, everything turned out well. artillery, the god of war, without the supply of shells for heavy artillery, the defense forces of ukraine will be able to introduce only passive defense, not counterattack. offensive, ukrainian soldiers told reporters of the reuters agency, and the minor successes of the russian occupiers are

the result of an insufficient supply of ammunition, the military complains that they need more heavy weapons and ammunition to support the infantry. as you know, the defense forces pushed back the russian troops from zorlivka, west of avdiivka, but the situation in the east remains difficult, he said commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general oleksandr tsirskyi. we are trying to hold the front, but again everything rests on heavy weapons, there will be heavy weapons, so we will deter and not only deter, but also counterattack, but without such weapons, without aviation, well, we will sit on the defensive sooner or later, we will sink , the front will sag, because the people, the people can't hold back on their own. need iron on march 1 , bulgaria and romania will enter the schengen

zone. this means reducing the maximum duration of visa-free stay in these countries. as you know, they were granted an additional 90 days guaranteed by the agreement between ukraine and the eu and extended to those who did not apply for temporary protection. now ukrainians can legally stay on the territory of these two states for only 90 days in a 180-day period. and then to issue other permission documents to leave, or to leave the schengen area. ecological and smart exercise bikes, such devices were presented by the taiwanese company acer together with the local ministry of digital transformation to the lviv kindergarten hospital and two educational institutions of higher education in the city. such a gift was made possible with the cooperation of taiwan. partners with the all-ukrainian democratic forum, the exercise bike is capable of charging devices while

pedaling. philanthropists say that such modern developments not only encourage ukrainians to lead a healthy lifestyle, but also save energy and time. the first place we wanted to send these exercise bikes to was ukraine, because ukraine today uses backup power, and these exercise bikes... are self-sustaining produce electricity. yes, for six months we worked on this idea together with the democratic forum and the taiwanese company acer, which produces high-quality modern electronics, and it happened. i think this is a great invention, especially for ukrainian youth. the taiwanese and i have implemented many projects, these are projects to help school students in lviv, poltava, and many other regions, and we are currently working on new projects, on teacher training. above the supply of new computers, this particular project is interesting because we at

some lviv higher education institutions and hospitals have installed not just exercise bikes, but modern gadgets that allow you to maintain health, because it is an exercise bike, charge your computer, your phones, use it and work at it as at a desk. every day, border guards detain up to 205 men who try to flee ukraine illegally. this was stated by the spokesman of the state border service. demchenko. border guards patrol the ukrainian-romanian border with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, camera traps and patrol dogs. how else? strengthened border protection, our correspondents will tell. the footage shows men trying to enter romania illegally. they were detained by transcarpathian border guards thanks to a patrol helicopter. some conscript citizens are trying to leave ukraine illegally. according to forged documents. through official checkpoints, however, cases on the green section of the border are more popular. in

the area of ​​responsibility of the state border, there are border units that carry out protection of the state border at the most in dangerous directions are detained by border guards. border guards of the hrushevo branch guard the ukrainian-romanian border around the clock. every week they stop men trying to cross the tisza river. this river is a mountain... river, it is very cold at this time of the year, and the plus to the shore of the romanian side is about 30-35 m, the current is very strong and unpredictable, the most common cases are... with the help of a wetsuit , they wear it so that it does not it was cold, stuffing circles, children's stuffing sleeves, mattresses, boats. even at the entrance to the border zone, 70% of men who try to leave ukraine illegally are stopped at checkpoints, spokeswoman of the mukachevo border detachment, lesya fedorova, said. to stop the flow

of illegal migrants to romania, the state sent protection of the green border. we use... both manned aviation and drones, in addition, we have strengthened engineering barriers on the state border, we also actively use and they show themselves very well photo traps, as well as installation of bispectral cameras, surveillance, uav operator oleg igrak launches a drone into the sky from a bird's eye view, the border guard detects potential violators, for example, if everything is visible from above at night, if it is from a drone with a thermal camera, she sees and can see through trees, through branches, after apprehending violators they are taken to the department of inspectors of the state border service, men are often helped

by so-called smugglers to escape abroad, just last year border guards detained almost 60 such traffickers, prices for their services. begins from 4x5 dollars and up to 900 greens. shippers themselves usually try not to contact their clients, because an attempt to illegally cross the border entails administrative responsibility, and as for the organization of such illegal shipments, they incur criminal responsibility. since the beginning of the great war , 24 cases of... death of men who tried to illegally cross the state border have been recorded in transcarpathia alone, so border guards advise to refrain from such extreme steps. kateryna oliynyk, oleg polyamar, espresso tv channel. well, we continue the great ater and now it's time to talk about the fact that outside of ukraine, the world about ukraine with yuri fizer has happened. yury, good evening, please. good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us

today. so, about whether germany is afraid of an attack from russia, hungary did not give ukraine a few words. aid dollars and balcony drop in russia. my name is yuriy fizer and this is the column world about ukraine, i will start in a moment. well, i'll start with this. whoever said anything about the fact that the german tabloid bild - it's a tabloid and shouldn't be trusted, but truth be told, that's the publication. was one of the first who, in december 2000, even in november 2021, published detailed maps in its columns with the directions of the russian terrorist forces' advance into ukraine, and they then drew these three directions from the north, from the northeast, from the east, and from

the south, and that is why today we should trust them, well , we probably have to, because they have some sources, and so on... the previous evening , bild journalists, citing their own sources, reported that the german government has already a ready-made plan in case of a hypothetical attack by russia. it consists of four stages. first, the german government believes that the kremlin will launch a massive disinformation campaign. the second phase will begin with large maneuvers of russian troops on the borders of the alliance, then there will be a direct attack by russia on nato member states. well, the fourth phase is a breakthrough. terrorist troops, terrorist countries to the territory of germany, while the use of biological, chemical and tactical nuclear weapons by russian troops is not excluded, in addition, the authors believe that the russian federation can use a nuclear electromagnetic pulse, which will be used at an altitude of 50 km and will disable all electronic devices. well, here is such information

, i emphasize once again, the publication says that this is only... preparation for a hypothetical attack, but when you know the information, then you are ready, so it is important that the german government prepares for this, for any scenarios . if russia wins in ukraine, then we may see more warriors on planet earth, so there should be different options on the table regarding how to help ukraine better and more. about this in an interview with a british tv channel. said estonian prime minister kaja kalas. answering the presenter's question about whether the head of the estonian government does not rule out the possibility that western troops may be present at a certain moment. on the territory of ukraine, she replied that in the west such a possible step is mostly considered as an escalation, although, in her opinion, it should rather

be considered as a defensive reaction, and then the direct speech of the prime minister of estonia, kai kalas. russia wants to intimidate me and estonia, and thus force us to refrain from making decisions in support of ukraine, western unity. all the things that annoy them very much, but i am convinced that we should not be afraid and we should not refrain from making such decisions, because this is what terrorists want, and this is how they act, they want to see our fear, and the only answer is the fact that we are not afraid, we act correctly, and are not afraid, and act correctly, and know that russia simply wants to intimidate with its actions, its statements, and that's why such... statements from the prime minister of estonia, from the leadership of the baltic countries, poland, but there are other countries, hungary and slovakia, which are both fighting and not

afraid, they are definitely afraid that russia can hypothetically get closer to their borders and do not want it, but at the same time refuse, continue to stubbornly refuse to help ukraine. well, that's it. several billion dollars more for ukraine can be found in the pentagon, they are considering the possibility of providing military and financial aid to ukraine for an additional 4 billion dollars, it was reported journalists of the american tv channel cnn with reference to sources in the ministry of defense of the united states of america. the department began to discuss the sending of aid even without guarantees of compensation of funds, due to the fact that the draft law on financing ukraine was stuck in the congress. the interlocutors of the tv channel emphasized that there are no decisions yet. not adopted, at the same time they reminded that the talks on the implementation of this option and several other backup options for providing

assistance to ukraine are becoming in recent weeks increasingly urgent, as the situation of the ukrainian troops is getting more difficult. and from the last thing i saw on the internet before the broadcast, my colleague, acquaintance, kateryna lisonova from the voice of america, posted it on facebook. the report that she asked the speaker of the lower house of the us congress, mike johnson, after he was leaving a press conference, whether he was going to put to a vote the question of unblocking the provision of a package of financial assistance to ukraine, israel and southeast asia, and he again stressed that we will do it when the time comes, when that time comes, vasyl, well , i already am. we understand all this, but this is a delay without good

reason, there is just such a team from above, and i suspect from where, i have told you many times that i personally think that it is from donald trump to delay this process, that's why they are statements, well, i think that in any case, with the help of our partners in europe, ukraine will stand first of all, it's just a pity that... we will lose our soldiers both dead and wounded due to the fact that now it is not possible to effectively conduct hostilities in the absence of a certain supply of shells, but the united states in this way, first of all , makes itself worse, because firstly , the power in europe will increase, secondly , the leaders in europe will rise, and well, in principle, then they will say so, why do we need the united states to sit there and solve all your problems on the border with mexico, in fact, this is all you are capable of as a regional player. should come, well, maybe people need it, who knows, yes, well, we are moving on, ukraine can use it weapons that will be received from finland for firing

at targets on the territory of ukraine, sorry, russia. several officials from helsinki, for example, the minister of defense of the country antti hekkanen, noted that such restrictions are introduced mostly by the countries that supplied ukraine with long-range salvo systems. he stated that finland constantly discusses with its allies possible restrictions on the use of weapons provided to ukraine, but deputy head antihekken emphasized that such restrictions should not be introduced in finland, therefore thank you to our finnish friends for your help and thank you to our finnish friends for this permission doro, by the way, another piece of news from finland, the frozen russian assets should be used for... in order to continue buying weapons for ukraine, this was the opinion expressed by the minister of foreign affairs of finland, elina valtonin,

and then her quote: these funds could be wasted. for weapons, for the supply of defense equipment and, in the long term, for the restoration of ukraine. well, i already spoke about hungary, it continues to put sticks in wheels the country's government refused to transfer 18 million dollars to the european peace fund, which could and should have been transferred to ukraine. instead, official budapest will direct them to maintain security and stability. in chad, a country in the center of africa. this was announced by the minister of foreign affairs and foreign economic relations of hungary, peter siyartu, at a press conference, after a meeting with his counterpart from chad, mahamat saleh annadiif. the head of the hungarian foreign and political department in kotre emphasized that his country will continue to make maximum efforts to find ways to end the war in ukraine peacefully, and therefore 18 million dollars for the purchase of weapons for ukraine, the government of

viktor orban. won't give, there are also those peacekeepers. very interesting news came from armenia today. the country's government is ready to expand cooperation with the european union and any steps that will strengthen armenia's national security after this cooperation. speaker of the armenian parliament alen simonyan told journalists about this today. according to him , this ultimately does not even rule out entry countries to the composition of the ev'. union, but there is no need to hurry in this matter, says speaker simonyan, and at the same time he stated that the issue of withdrawing the russian military base from the territory of armenia is not being raised at the moment. the world does not need to drag out, the world does not need to drag out the russian war of aggression in ukraine, and therefore the main goal of chinese shuttle diplomacy is

to stop hostilities as soon as possible and bring the parties, that is, ukraine and russia, to the negotiating table. an official representative of the ministry said this during the briefing of foreign affairs of the tiananmen square maoning, at the same time she added that official china continues to play its special role and bring chinese wisdom to the political settlement of the ukrainian crisis, so she again called it a crisis. let me remind you that the day before, there was information that the special... china's envoy for eurasian affairs lihui is to visit russia, ukraine and germany this week, and he will hold negotiations on finding ways to end the war in ukraine peacefully. in addition, his plans include a visit to brussels and a meeting with the leadership of the european union. and now a little about trump, lately a lot about him, well, because he himself gives reasons to talk about him a lot. the supreme court of the united states of america is considering...

the 45th president of the country, donald trump, whether he has presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. the first meeting was scheduled for april 22 this year. the ex-owner of the white house must be personally present at it. at the same time, during these hearings, the court suspended consideration of the case against trump on falsification the results of the 2020 elections. i will remind you that there are currently four criminal proceedings against trump and the total prison term of mr. trump, if he is found guilty, may be more than 100 years in total, and one more thing about the courts and trump, well, the illinois court banned donald trump to participate in the republican primaries, which are to be held in this state, and a number of states, including colorado, have already made similar decisions. to names, and

in general, lawsuits regarding the ex-president's refusal to participate in the primaries have already gone to court filed in 16 american states , well, let's see what will come out of it, well, again, about his measure, he would like to do to russia the same as he did to ukraine, to bring disruption to our house and weaken us from the inside, but the measure was miscalculated, it was one of the theses... of the president of the country of terrorists, vladimir putin , from his message to the federal assembly, while he added that all the statements made by the west that butsim is ready for dialogue are demagoguery on the eve of the presidential elections in the usa. according to putin, the united states america is offering russia a dialogue on strategic stability, while trying to inflict - this is a quote from putin, a strategic defeat on the battlefield putin.
