they said, well, well, there is a tractor, there are two, i say , you don’t have two tractors, well, i’m from here myself, i know how much equipment you have from the utility companies , but not all of it works, and our drivers, tractor drivers don’t they want to go, and then tanks will come to you tomorrow, but we won't be able to hold them back, and there's nowhere to go, and now i see when they sometimes give out interviews, they say how hard it is, well, what happened when i lost my city you have tractors for us to bury ourselves in, that's how you have it, that's what happens, then it must be a forced story from your point of view, still the mobilization of tractors? "if we, under the same soledar, under the same bakhmut, under the same lysichanskyi, had the opportunity to drive out the equipment, and while the group of snipers that i was covering held the enemy back, held them back for quite a long time, it was the snipers who helped us with a little artillery, well... very little, if we had equipment behind us that would dig fortifications and concrete them, then we would still not be like bahmud, we would still hold the saltodar, it seems so to me, but

it seems to me that there is such a psychological moment here, society expects a counteroffensive from the politician, from the leadership, the liberation of our territories, therefore, of course, the leadership expects this from the military, if one of the brigade-level commanders there says: guys, let's go while you keep the military here, let's stay behind in case we have to retreat, let's do it positions, he should be asked from above, what are you doing, should you go forward? come on, what 's still going on, right? oh, olya, if we reason that we have bad things left, then it will be long and difficult. propagandists can talk for a very long time, let's not be negative to dump, because the people of the company are also on their nerves . some brigade

a lot depends on the commander of the company in which you are and on the brigade commander, this is a strategic and tactical approach, if we have in the 41st brigade, the approach is like this, in our country we dig ourselves into the ground so much that we are out of there, well, what do i do with this you scratch if you are a company commander believes that the first task is not to get a medal or a title, but to preserve the personnel, then we have the smallest fathers, probably out of all my comrades, whom i know in a different way. units, everything depends on the commanders , unfortunately, no one is safe from the fact that you will end up with a commander who is not the right one, that is why i always speak out and all the people who fight, who are engaged in this, say, mobilization through teck, through a logging center where soldiers are taught to dig and build something from boards is not the same, it is necessary to recruit brigades so that people know where do they go, for what position, or, as i joke, in our country they trusted the people they transfer to, thank you very much, kirill, which one, which

commander and where are you going, recruiting is the future, this is what the third storm troop, fifth storm troop, charter the national guard, we are trying to work, this is how it should work, i think, people in the brigades will go to the tcc, people don't want to go. thank you, it was kyrylo sezonu, a serviceman of the ukrainian armed forces, a political scientist, thank you for joining us, and actually, civilians should also understand that joining the civilian authorities in order to build fortifications behind our military. this is not only the task of the military, but also the task of the civilian authorities and those civilian people who live there, and it is important that they understand it, and not think that somehow the military will figure it out themselves. thank you very much to everyone for the broadcast, see you in a week in this format, and then we will have a lot of interesting things on the air.

welcome to the espresso channel. today, the topic

of our program is war and weapons - where to get new ones forces and resources in the war against russia. and there are several components here. the president of france, emmanuel macron, caused a real storm this week, stumbling upon the possibility of introducing the troops of european states into ukraine. can kyiv count on such unexpected reserves? is it just incredible? although exactly. already after that high-profile meeting in paris with the leaders of 20 countries that help ukraine in the fight against russia, macron again emphasized that all his statements, including the dispatch of western troops, were carefully thought out, so why this is what we will talk about in the first part of our program, and in the second part about internal reserves, which we do not take into account, but they are still there, i mean that... in fact, each of our combat brigades is so peculiar the center of concentration of information power that

connects and mobilizes society, as an example, the third separate assault brigade, and this potential depends not only on weapons, so what is this phenomenon, how to use it, scale it and what effect it can have. my name is serhiy sgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which is now jointly with the espresso channels . to highlight the most relevant events in the life of our army and the security dimension. and now the first guest joins us, this is oleksiy yezhak, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies. mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. navzeem is glad to see you, i congratulate you. of course, i would like to start with what i announced at the introduction to our program, how should macron's statement and his? the actions are aimed at discussing the issue of the possibility of sending units or that

countries of nato or the european union to ukraine and this is probing the positions of the leaders of european countries and the countries of the alliance, because at first it looked like such a certain absolute impossibility, but then the minister of foreign affairs of france spoke about the fact that nothing can be ruled out, and the prime minister minister of estonia also spoke about the fact that western leaders should not rule out... the possibility of introducing ground troops into ukraine, that is, in my opinion, this is such an interesting new trend in certain political currents. has several components and layers, what would be highlighted from these statements, why is it important and what consequences could it have? perhaps it would be too loud, but i will still say, i believe that such conversations, such and such a discourse, are in fact the beginning of practical negotiations on the terms of ukraine's membership

in nato, but it is in the same vein as, for example, our discussions with... with the neighbors regarding the farmers' protests, this is actually the beginning of negotiations on the accession of ukraine to the european union, on the terms of this accession, on what terms, what exactly, well, how will it actually be to happen, what rights, obligations and all that , now in terms of how real it is, it is real, it is and i would say natural, always when we see a situation where the united states changes its attitude for certain reasons. to europe, and now such a situation is reflected, there is now a conflict situation regarding aid to ukraine between europe and the united states. always in such periods, france takes political leadership. it has now taken such political leadership in order to unite and unite europe for

certain goals. and at the same time, why is it important, because in the... leadership that exists now in europe, in france and that has always been france and germany, in this leadership the roles are a little different, in france it is political leadership, in germany it is financial leadership, and here there is still such an element that france would like to pool european resources in the vision as it sees it, because well, suffice it to say that, for example, the fund that everyone knows about. billion german fund for the modernization and change of weapons, these are mainly f-35s, american ones, france has another vision, that is, i want to say that in principle it is natural, what was said, how realistic it is from the point of view, and what it

means for the security of ukraine, i would, it is clearly not about the troops.. nato fought instead of our troops, this is not about replacing the law on mobilization and everything related to it, it is more about the agreements that ukraine is currently concluding with europe, about the automatic reaction of our partners in case of danger for ukraine, this and presence, we are talking about such and such forms of presence, which make reactions on the part of nato countries automatic, it is not only the military , it is also an industrial presence, it is also a different financial and political presence, but here i remind you that in order to fight for ukraine , you need such a large presence, and the constitution of ukraine, article 17, point paragraph 7, it seems that he says that it is impossible to create

foreign military bases on the territory of ukraine, that is, it is impossible to have such forms, now, now such forms, when... there is a certain territory, the flag of another country hangs there, the military lives there according to the laws of another countries, there is a special agreement about the status of foreign forces, no, i'm not talking about that, it's about the fact that the military presence can be different, it can be special forces, it can be consultants, advisors, it can be crews that service that equipment. which receives, it can be engineering various divisions, all this can be, and from my point of view, there is no, not only that it is possible, it is already by and large, it is now about uh what countries are ready , are ready to increase such a presence and are ready to take on such

additional obligations regarding automatic reactions in case of well... in case of danger to ukraine and threats to ukraine, well, of course, this discourse is also for us, we also have to decide for ourselves, and are we ready, as a country, well, let's say, a nato country, or are we ready to accept on a permanent basis, foreign troops, significant ones, such a presence that will be, with which, well, our common defense will be embedded, this is also an important issue for us. that is, in fact, it is such a certain paradoxical situation that ukraine is not joining nato, but nato is coming to ukraine, and then in fact, our military and political leadership, probably. should stimulate this process by identifying the most promising and most needed areas and create conditions so that changes in these areas really take place as quickly as possible, and this will be just

the impetus for the activation of those areas that are currently languishing, because what the french said there , it is necessary to carry out measures of cyber protection, demining, production of weapons in cities, some of them may require a presence on ukrainian territory without... crossing the border hostilities, that is, in fact, this is what you said, explaining the possibilities of actions of nato countries, but what should we do now to activate this process, what can be the recommendations for our authorities? well, i would say here that what we are saying is, well, it has already happened in the baltic countries, which i mean, in general, our vision, our understanding of what nato is, that we are giving divisions. or more or less and put under the command of unified nato structures in the great war, it remains so, remains on the agenda,

but from the 14th year, a different process began within nato, when they saw what was happening, how russian aggression was organized, a slightly different process was launched in the baltic countries, then the ministry of defense of the baltic countries, they identified a resource. that they need to strengthen their own national defense, even without the participation of nato as an organization, without article five, and then the mechanisms were set in motion, and the united states and the european allies launched those resources, deployed, deployed in the baltic states and embedded them in in the self-defense of these countries, that is, now there are nato units that should come under, well , other countries that should... come under the command of the baltic countries, if it begins, not even because article 5 is not included, but russian aggression begins. i think that for us

, the most important thing we can do, and the fastest and most understandable, is to offer our allies, namely, what resources do we currently lack in defense, well , in addition to human resources, to actually fight on the battlefield, what resources, which we have weak points where... we need to strengthen from the headquarters structures to the engineering units, where we would need such, well, such a quick, well, quick inclusion, and accordingly tell our partners, and what we would like from macron's proposal in practical terms, then in fact the answer of president zelensky, which was so rather imprecise , is probably a consequence of the fact that this process is probably taking place in our country now. we cannot say clearly, but we are already thinking about it and looking for the most optimal versions, but then i would like to add that relatively speaking, everything is exactly the same transformation there

alliance is one way or another connected with the transformation of the european defense industry, especially for the leading european countries, and where there may be new opportunities for ukraine. we have already talked about this several times, but the very process of the dynamics of the european defense industry, as it seems to me, creates new and new opportunities in certain aspects, what should we not miss in this process? we must not miss two very important european processes that concern the defense industry. the first is when, when unified procurement funds, joint procurements, are created when different countries combine their budgets in order to jointly purchase a certain system. arming, and the second parallel process to this, when international alliances are created, european defense enterprises, which these orders must fulfill, that is

, collective orders, yes, well, for example, the a400 aircraft, this is how airplanes , airplanes, nato 90 helicopters, typhoons, europeans, because of such mechanisms, when a certain european fund is created and created... with on the other hand, the industrial alliance that fulfills this collective order, now we see, there is, for example, the european peace fund, there are various other structures that unite, well, actually what the french say, they say that in europe , there are alliances that produce missiles, produce stormshadows, produce scalps, produce well taurus, it is more national like that, and even... sempt anti-missile defense means, they are collective, they are european, and if there is good, well, such, such the mechanism

to help ukraine is... to create a european fund, not an american one, but a european fund, from which the creation of such weapons for ukraine by european alliances will be financed, we must not miss this in the issue of involvement at the stage of financing and at the stage of involvement of our defense enterprises in this joint european production . well, by the way, as i understand it, france is going this way, because when it talks there about... a coalition about artillery or a coalition about long-range means of impression, it is said in parallel that a fund is being created that has to use resources for the purchase of these samples, but somehow there is a certain bias in the french proposals regarding their samples, there the cg is french, the missiles are french, the impression is that the french give a little less weapons to ukraine than to germany, but are trying more to load their defenses, is

there no such thing? there is, of course, that's why you have to see in france what this country is, it is a european political leader, but in matters of money and all these matters, well, they have their own interests, of course, the germans have a lot of money, the french want to use this money to load, load first of all their own defense industry and... there is a big dilemma for us here, because the germans and ours and now the czech republic, well, in general, our partners are closer to us, eastern europe, they believe that european funds should be used immediately to get weapons for ukraine, where they are, if they are in the global south, they should be bought from the global north and delivered right now, because there is a shortage

right now. french offer. in that that it is necessary to use this european money for production in europe itself, yes for ukraine as well, but in europe itself, so it is necessary to combine, i do not think that there is such a universal solution, and it cannot be said that what says france is a universal solution, it is an important and very positive solution, but what is being said about the defense industry in france is more of a joint defense strategy in the long term. years, including against russia, and what germany and the countries of eastern europe are saying is what needs to be done already year oleksiy, i would like to ask one more component, these are macron's proposals: isn't this happening, well finally the blurring of these red lines or i don't know what color lines regarding the fact that nato should not get involved in hostilities there on the territory

of ukraine, and this step ... the blurring of these lines was probably one of the impetuses for these traditionally sharp statements by putin during his speech before the federal assembly, where he began to talk about if the troops there enter our territory, realizing that that ukraine is their territory, yes, it will cause the use of nuclear weapons and so on, but still, this moment of blurring the lines, whether it does not exist in macron's statement, or it is my assumptions, i think it exists. it’s clear, it’s obvious , it’s one thing, it’s not only on the french side that it’s being eroded, maybe on the french side there is such a, well , political reasoning, well, if russian troops and mercenaries are in france where they are in africa, where french interests have their own presence, well, they have the courage to say that they are ready to help ukraine with troops, near the borders of russia, that is

element. not only this element, there is also an industrial element regarding the fact that unlike american missiles, french missiles can be used against targets in russia, this is political leadership, well at least against legitimate targets such as iranian missiles, i think no one will be here to deny that ukraine can strike, and it was even stoltenberg who said that, well, you can strike at certain targets, it blurs, of course, and it must be said that this is the most... today the blurring of those red lines that putin drew, well 20 there in february 22nd year, the french say yes, it is in a political sense, it is just a colossal blurring, even the destruction of these red lines, and that is why it is very important in a political sense, considering other aspects, we said that there are...
