who want to use the tense situation on the southern border, the immigration reform situation as an important , you know, chip in this election, but in the meantime there are some problems, i have an invasion of mike johnson, in the sense that he can be bypassed, there are several there are options, well the first option is brian fitzpatrick, a republican congressman who served at one time. in ukraine is a big supporter of ukraine, he registered his draft law, it is rather, let's say, less profitable, profitable, than that the senators vote in terms of the amount of aid and defense, and there is definitely neither economic nor humanitarian aid, that is, this is one of the options, and the second, including fitzpatrick, and they also say that the democrats are also collecting 218 votes are needed. in order to bring

to a vote the bill that was voted in the senate, johnson's t-shirt will actually be bypassed, and why is this important? what is important is that mike johnson said that he will listen to trump, because in november there will be an election not only for the president of the united states, but the house of representatives, if there is no blessing from trump, then mike johnson may not get into the house of representatives, but he may lose his office. or under the changed rules, any republican congressman can raise the question of removing him from office, that is precisely why he is holding on and trying with these promises that we will look at the border, and then they mentioned funding the government, although they have already voted, extended it for a certain period, although not for a month for the whole year, that is, this quotation, it will continue for some time time, although of course there is pressure from colleagues. according to the house of representatives, there will

definitely be a sufficient number of republicans who will vote for aid to ukraine, because they understand that it is not just some territorial disputes in europe, but the world order and the prestige of the united states, prestige on the one hand is not you can somehow feel it, that is, it is ephemeral, yes, but if this prestige is not there, it means that they do not trust, it means that they will not listen. to the united states, that is the leadership of the united states will be lost , so we have this situation, and plus, you know, the last innocent, the supreme court of the united states, well, in fact, in their decision, in a unanimous decision, nine justices voted that the supreme court of the state of colorado was wrong when banned the writing of donald trump's name on the ballot papers at pricey. and

the caucuses to choose the republican nominee, so that means that this technicality that was potentially going to eliminate or prevent trump from coming to the authorities, it can already be written off, that is, it is not there, there are others, that is, it is actually a criminal charge, and of course, that may be connected with the refusal of a certain number of people to vote for him. moderate republicans who will not want to have their yanukovych at the head of this state, so in principle there is such news, of course we have to take into account, and the usual news is that nikki gelli received 2/3 of the vote in the district of columbia, this is a small victory , because the district of columbia is by and large more the traditional republicans there, and it's not that important in terms of the number of voters that... needed, here

, but all this, you know, why i'm talking about this, that there are so many different parameters that are involved in this the election race , which indirectly affect the consideration of ukrainian issues, and of course the future of american aid, you have already voiced all my questions about the united states of america, well, at least, and i am very grateful to you actually for miki geli, she is really impressive, this a person who continues... as they say, as lesya ukrainka wrote, recently it was lesya ukrainka's birthday, she is already 153 and since 1881, but she said that there is no hope to hope, so contraspemspero, that's what nikigeli does, it's really important , well, in any case, she is building a political career for herself, she is a young politician, and therefore even if she there, let's say, did not win this election, there will be another election, but, but she, i will very briefly, by the way, how do you rate this combat for... in spite of such

obvious things, you know, she continues to fight, well, she has hope, and the only chance to become president is if... trump doesn't have the legal ability to do it, if the moderate republicans turn away from him, otherwise they have no chance, well, now, if you look at the numbers , during these sycophants' primaries, that is, when the republicans gather and vote in each state for a certain candidate, now she has 43 votes while trump has 192, in order to automatically become nom. there, the republican party needs 1,215 votes, a total of 2,429, we will wait and by and large, tomorrow will be a big day, the so-called super tuesday, where the fate of 34%

of the votes of the republican party will be decided, and for sure, if it does not get enough, then it will decide whether it is worth to continue this struggle. since, of course, elections are not only the will of a person, but also large finances, and before that she thought that it made little sense, some people advise her to go separately, that is, not from the republican party, so far she refuses to do so, maybe, well, it's just, well, it would be very wrong for her now, being, let's say , one of the candidates for the nomination in the republican party to say: you know, i'm going to go in parallel, here, but she on... on emphasizes that, that she is more popular and has a better chance of beating joseph biden in these elections, because joseph biden is also extremely unpopular now, his rating is 56.4% negative and

donald trump 51.3%, respectively, and if biden were to compete now with nikigeli, the difference was 46 vs. 42.1, so well... a bit almost 5% at a time when between biden and trump there are 43 and 45.8, that is, literally there to how much 2 2% with pennies, that is exactly why it is very good that she shows the traditional republican position, they show their will, and of course that i hopefully they will be in the future because honestly, by and large the republican party as we knew it has ceased to exist as it has been swallowed up...and there is a large base of trumpians out there who will vote for anything even if he commits a crime well, they are connected, but what, on the other hand, zelenskyi was on this cover from above, above him, as if there was such a woman with

a ponytail, well, there were such thoughts that if putin and trump are there, then there is obviously zelensky and someone else, and maybe it is nicky haley, maybe they knew something there, by the way, zaekonovist magazine, which belongs well, i think they are something there, but it's interesting, it's interesting anyway, now i'm going to france, and here emmanuel macron, as they say, is going to war, i'm in a good way, because actually i'm very i was impressed by this politician, the president of the french republic, by the way, my peer, that's why somehow, i am trying to understand him somewhere, because somewhere, well, we are 5 days apart in birth, and it is very cool to me that he is, well, if he had brought this matter to the end about nato troops, but the french secretary of state for european affairs, jean nouel. baro, after french president macron's statements about sending troops to ukraine, said that european countries should not rule out any options for action in the face of the aggressor. i quote: the struggle of ukrainians is also our struggle. resisting the invader, they fight for the security of europe and france,

because volodymyr putin's imperialist fantasies are clearly not limited to ukraine. gathering 27 heads of state and government in paris, the french president demonstrated the unity and determination of these countries. to do more, better and in a different way to meet the needs of the ukrainian resistance is important, but here is this initiative, there are the reactions of various leaders of various states of the european union and non-european union, like there, let's say serbia, vucic spoke there, but will it be enough now power, charisma, influence, connections, arguments of financial, armed, any in em'. crown, to push this idea and still make it real, i'm not saying that these troops will appear on the front line, but they could appear somewhere not far from the front line, on the fourth line, and just give a signal , that we are already here, that's all, please, well, you know, i would like to, first

of all, of course, the potential in france is huge to help us, because france is only included in, it seems, 15 countries in terms of the amount of its aid. after the european union, the united states is followed by germany, and the united states is in fourth place the kingdom, and i understand that the french give us some pretty good things, such anchors. those scalp missiles or, that is, caesar's howitzers, there are also some other things, but from the point of view of volumes, well , of course, they could give more if they believe that, well, in fact, the russian federation threatens the european continent as a whole, not only those who is outside the nato umbrella. i would like these statements not to be an attempt to grab attention and leadership, because you know, macron is not the first initiative where macron has tried to be a leader, this is also strategic autonomy, which means

the same negotiations, do you remember how he called, well, what every week, it seems, means to putin and tried to prove something and so on, that is, i hope that this is a serious matter and well, let's put it this way, a positive signal is the fact that, in fact, ngsh is french, he informed. his colleagues in nato and asked their opinions about the acceptability of the proposal to send military members of nato countries to ukraine, in what capacity and so on, because in fact mr. scholz, he himself, did a disservice to the british, he said that there are already british military personnel on the territory of ukraine who are helping, well, primarily with high-precision weapons, so why wouldn’t the french have such... to target the same scalp or perform some other functions, that is, it is very good right news, it's a pity that they are so

slow to come to this, it's a pity that it took eight or even nine years after the illegal annexation of the beginning of the proxy war in donbas for them to understand what russia is, that it is a threat, that diplomacy powerless with russia, diplomacy is powerful, so that unite in support of ukraine and provide everything so that we fulfill, as they say... that is, fulfill the tasks that are before us. therefore, let's hope that these are not empty words , that france will give us more weapons, because this is the only language understood in the kremlin, the only, let's say, the only method to bring peace and victory to ukraine closer, by destroying the enemy's forces and means faster than they can to generate them, then they simply will not be physically able to continue this war, they will have to go away. or try to use those the turks themselves or the chinese, so that

there is a ceasefire and then some kind of diplomatic negotiations, of course it is clear how to run a cover, so let's hope that france eventually gets involved in a serious way and not only in image. well, and even more so france, well, if we don't talk about the napoleonic wars there, by and large napoleon bonaparte did not plan to fight with russia, he tried to come to an agreement with alexander i, remember? this tirzid peace and he treated alexander very well, he just decided to fight for something, and that’s how it was, it was a campaign into the depths of russia, then the french abandoned themselves, they entered, returned, having lost a lot, but the russians call it a victory, well, so be it, but the crimean war of 53-56, when france, britain, the middle the kingdom stood up for turkey, demonstrated very well what can be done in the war against russia, then there was their emperor nicholas, he did not survive this defeat and actually, well, actually caught a cold there and died, but... for me, they are still very much alive the words of leo tolstoy, the writer and count, who

participated, by the way, in the crimean war there in sevastopol, so he wrote that russia lost then not because it was weaker or had fewer troops or less desire, that is simply why he said that the french guns continued to shoot and more accurately, and the russians shoot worse, this is the same in this war, it is the french weapon, it could, it could simply win simply because it shoots better and more accurately. but this is what you have, yes, this is the red line of the tank, this is when the british had better weapons, and they, so to speak, lined up in one row, not in three or four ranks, as it was before, and how the british just looked down on the russian troops, and actually this small handful of scots, they turned back the attack, that is, this is such a heroic moment in the history of the crimean war, that is ... everything shows that the first must be please, show the picture again, please

, show the picture, we will show it like this, but well, yes, we see, and well, tolstoy described this in the sevastopol stories, but this is what i am leading to, which we can repeat, we have to end here, thank you very much for the conversation, always interesting and professional, yes, he talks about it with you, oleksandr khara was with us, and the diplomat and... now we actually talked about the military and international issues, which are very important already there, well, we did not reach poland, but in any case, i think that in any case... i think that poland is a topic, as they say, continunyuus, so it will continue, we will continue to discuss it, and now we are going to talk, this is oleksandr khara, i'll just give you his regalia, an expert on foreign and security issues policy, defense center, strategy, now we turn to the military topic, directly,

ihor lapin, major of the armed forces of ukraine, special appointee, people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation, mr. ihor, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, well, we will start, probably with the operational situation on the fronts, from what is known, i read yesterday, well, there are those who write tele, telegram, there is facebook, i don’t know if on facebook in a telegram to colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi, the head of the commissar, they wrote that now the russians will be very active in attacking a lot of information about what is happening on the fronts, so trust only official sources, well, actually, i always trust official sources, unless only there or... friends or acquaintances tell something, then i understand somewhere there for myself, but on the other hand, i i also understand that friends or acquaintances only have an idea of ​​a separate section of the front, but not of the whole, so from what you know, from the state to the evening, the key directions are, of course , avdiivka, bakhmut, well, there are robots, what is the situation there, at least, and at least you can pay attention to the fact that, in principle, they are russian

the attacks near avdiivka have decreased a little, i won’t say that they have come to nothing there, but... nevertheless, they have decreased due to the fact that the use of aviation and cabs has been suspended, thanks to our air defense forces, this is no longer a secret, everyone already knows about it they say, and this makes it possible for our troops to regroup and still gain a foothold on the frontiers where they are today. of course, i am very sorry that the russians built the so-called surovikin line in a few months, avdiyivka was held for so long and spare lines for what. 110 was produced brigade and other units , well, to be honest, the horse didn’t really lie there, if you understand, trenches dug with shovels, these are not defensive structures that can protect against artillery, tanks, well, i ’m not talking about aviation, and it’s very it's a pity on the one hand, and on the other hand , well, to be honest, how long can you

walk on that rake, we talked about it when there were operations near bakhmut, let's remember after the fall of bakhmut... how far the russians have crawled now, that's how time goes, it's good because it's an urban development, there really is to a certain extent, the border has been made, but again in the avdiiv direction, well, it was necessary to do at least using natural heights, this is at least, well, but we have what we have, unfortunately , the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, the commander-in-chief, drew attention to the miscalculations of the commanders on the ground, to be honest, for me it is a complete matter, why, because the commanders on the ground are engaged in combat operations there, and the issue of logistical support or provision of engineering and technical means is not something that we wish to be better, we have it practically there is no in the military, maybe this is news for some, but i want to say that the military is stupidly sabotaging the construction of defense structures in many ways to the civil administration, i saw it in donetsk region before bakhmut, and

today i can state the fact that this is happening in many directions, if we recall now... the zaporizhia direction, then we remember that since january, if i'm not mistaken, 1.3 billion have been allocated for the construction of defense structures in zaporizhia, they have been playing a tender for dragon's teeth for 85 since january, in my opinion million, and they cannot play it for one and a half to two months, that is, they have 40 km to the front line, and are they idiots or not idiots, is this already treason, on my channel, on the youtube channel, i analyzed it in more detail . .. oh, but i just want people to pay attention, at that time i state the fact that a very big, good specialist was called in for the construction of defense structures . mr. umerov to the ministry of defense, i think that large-scale theft will now move to defense structures, because the citizens are already opposing the roads, they say, we have enough roads,

give us concrete lines for the soldiers, well , these are miscalculations of the authorities from a positive point of view... on a positive point, i can state the fact that no matter what there was no, i emphasize once again, the enemy stopped in the avdiivsk direction already, well, of course, avdiivka is no longer ours, but where the russians were breaking, they did not manage to jump, as they say, on the shoulders of the movement of our troops, and this is normal, regarding the situation, well, kherson oblast, krynky, we know that our boys will continue to get goals, and they will continue to get them as long as there is something to cover them. today we cover the lion's share of fpv with drones, we have projectile hunger all over the front line, well, i don't even know what else can be added from such grandiose things, well, look, if there are no... buildings and not enough weapons, well, at least there should be considered the issue of mobilization, well , we do not speak for it now, but we understand that it is complete trash, what is happening

today with mobilization processes, politicians have stopped , or rather, not so, today's politicians, the lion's share of them have never become statesmen, they continue to think about ratings, they continue to think about whether to adopt or park some popular norm, well , we have what we have, the issue of mobilization. breaks down every day and all the time , well, i’ll just add from myself, recently he was driving here, he called texts there, a military man, he came to rest there for 15 days, he says he wants to sit with me, not a young guy drove, he says i’m paying a taxi just there later i will go back, he is a driver somewhere at the front, and i tell him, have you heard about the initiative to pay 200 uah for those who have been at the front for two years , he is really happy, he says 200,000 is great, who would say that? says the president? zelenskyi: and she tells us , no one said anything, well, but i am leading to the conclusion that people would be happy if it was really implemented, well, let people rest, there are many people who are at the front, maybe there is some financial motivation , they are experienced,

if you don't want to, we'll make a rotation, if you want, be it there, but you have these 200,000, well, these people , they are really expensive, they have 2 years of combat experience, this is a golden fund, we will not make such people in a year, please, well , my friend, i am leading to that and mobilization as well necessary, yes, but you just see that the 400th amendment to the law on mobilization, this, this , i don’t know how long it will work, look, i want to tell you that i partially disagree with you , well, first of all, the gingerbread issue, financial motivation, it does not solve the whole story for sure, in the 13th year there was no financial motivation, we left volunteers to the front, in the 22nd year at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, what was the motivation, people just went, said give weapons, there was no such concept, and therefore the most motivated... infantry , there was no such infantry anywhere in the world, we already invested in raw land, they were replaced by those who did not leave the military commissariat, received a summons in good faith and went to war, and please tell

me who will replace them? the question of 200,000, the lion's share, the guys say, listen, take my 100, let me go home, you understand, the question here is not only financial motivation, i understand, if a mechanism were to be worked out, well, like , such a salary came as a volunteer, i don't know, i'm not talking about... numbers, but according to the agenda , such a salary, but for this to happen, it is necessary that from each irons, from every tv , from every refrigerator shouted that everyone will fight, just some with a salary like that, because they came voluntarily, and others with a kind of manneka, because they were mobilized with a bandage, maybe this is one of the elements, but one more time i emphasize that people must understand that they will have to fight anyway, either you fight for ukraine under the flag of ukraine, or the russians will drive you like cattle, put you down. a detachment will be behind you and you will be driven like cattle to the hated warsaw and nato. we saw this in the first and second army corps of the so-called lpr-dnr as an example to all.

today, the russians distributed about 2 million passports in the occupied territories. friends, if 10% of them are mobilized, an army of 200,000 will be created. and someone may have thought that he would wait and sit down, but he didn't wait and sit down. these are the problems now. we are motivated. we have one motivator today who has to work in the information field, fight or die , with money, well no, it won't work like that with money, a skillful recruiting company, conditionally there are fifth oshb, third oshb, wolves and so on, it's not about money, they are told that you will come to us, we will teach you to fight and you will have a chance to survive, this is a motivator, it is not about money, it is about a chance to survive, the ministry of defense recruiting company. well, they said, they wrote in social networks, i couldn't really check there, up to 150 thousand people submitted applications, yes, that's normal, you understand, but the fact

is that for some reason we have an armed person in the uniform of the armed forces of ukraine, relatively speaking, somewhere in the frankiv region, somewhere in space, this is the enemy, what women, they are probably spies of this tsk, for some reason, they made such a thing because of that single marathon that a person in the uniform of the armed forces can be a t-tsekashnik. that means it is an enemy, it must be defeated, what is it, what state do we live in, what are we fighting for, what are we holding borders for today, that is why i pay attention only to this aspect: as a motivator for us it is fight or die, that's all , there is nothing else, 200 thousand, you literally have only one thesis, he recently went out, he says, what half a million do you need to mobilize, we don't have money for half a million, i understand that it was invented to pay out of fear 15 million for a dead brother, well, they, i’m just clarifying, mr. igor, maybe people don’t know, it was such a story that the russians paid a certain amount there, they wanted more from us, because we’re not russians, but the question in that

there are many... well, i won't go into details, because i, well, i don't have any casualties relatives to 15 million, i saw that it was not paid or paid, so i do not know, from what they say, it is not a difficult story, but in any case we understand that it will continue to be difficult, although, well if you promised , people gave their lives, that's all, they gave the most important thing, they have nothing, and therefore you have to fulfill, please, but no, of course, if you promised, i'll say it again , they think something that they can motivate with populist things , no, those who were ready. fight, they didn't go for money, not for money, they're already there, that's all, you promised you pay, okay, but the motivator for us is not money, for us it is simply a question of survival, this is our biggest ally and motivator, it must be reported, at the same time, what is reported in us, the show of the quarter there, the show there, looking for a woman, a quiet evening with olena kravets, look at what taxpayers' money is spent on,

what money is being spent on... the armed forces of ukraine, because what western partners give us, they give not for the army, but they give just the same for this other, well, no less, well, listen, mr. vasyl, our program is now watched by many more people than are viewed in a day by the english-speaking freedom and so on, well, listen, well , let's be frank, these are the geniuses of communication we have today, no, they not geniuses of communication, because they do not cope with this communication of society, we are the best infantry. the world's infantry has already been put into the ground, today the task is to prepare the second wave, if we do not prepare it, the question, well, the question is we will live then, you are right when you say about the best infantry, because then when you understand that it was the best infantry, you understand why they held the mortar, when it would seem that it was impossible to hold it, but a small piece of land on the way to kyiv , there is a bolon there and so on , how am i not talking about kharkiv oblast, kherson oblast?

also, no one was there, not even chernihiv region, so when there are two tanks against 200, there is this tank regiment, well, that’s me, i understand sumy region is the same, i understand what you are talking about and it is very important that it be prepared, i don’t i know, let's go i already had others there, let's listen to ilya yevlash, he is the spokesman of the operational-strategic group of soldiers, this ilya used to work with us at espresso, so we will listen to him, he talks about the situation in the bakhmut direction, and it is important to hear and have an understanding of what is happening there. the enemy continues to press with his assault groups, using buggies, tries to press both from the flanks and from the front near bohdanivka, ivanovsky. its main purpose is now the time of the yar, since it will be after the temporary yar a bridgehead for the continuation of the offensive on kostyantynivka, in the future from the southern

flank. on the kramatorsk-slavic agglomeration, from the northern flank, the enemy is shifting his troops from synkivka in the direction of yampolivka and terni, and will continue to develop the offensive across the lyman to the kramatorsk-slavic agglomeration, that is , the tactic is not new, the enemy is trying to use all the same tactics will be facilitated by entering on the flanks, but now i want to note that he has no success in the lemano-kupyan direction, there we manages to hold the front, but... heavy battles are currently taking place in the bakhmutsky direction, namely in ivanovsky, where the key goal of the further success of the enemy's offensive is now being decided there. we really have 3 minutes , i won’t give more, because we clearly have to switch to another program after that, so the prospects of the battle during the time of yar, the enemy will, i understand, rush there with all their might, so that there is little left before the elections, but i understand that they want this...
