[000:00:00;00] we are thinking, this is called a long-term foreign business trip , that is, this person did not just go on a permanent residence or stay somewhere on a visa, this is a business trip from the state of ukraine, he is paid a salary in hryvnias in euros, and there are daily and representative ones that will be in the currency , which means that certain things are compensated for there, so to be honest, it's difficult for me, i'm not a lawyer, will it be taken into account as if it wasn't there? for a long time and will this pose any obstacles for his participation in political processes, well, in the elections, here, but indeed, well, we cannot have presidential elections in the near future, since the war is not over, and it is clear that we will say so, both from a legal point of view and from a practical point of view, there is probably no sense in this, and frankly, neither , nor his

closest entourage never signaled. that he has such plans, it is clear that potentially, he is a powerful candidate, there is a lot of trust in him, i don't know, probably more than in the president, because he actually, in his face, we see the armed forces of ukraine and that what they did starting, well, at least from the 22nd year, and then, and even earlier, that's why the speculations, these speculations, i don't think, to be honest, well, that it can somehow interfere, because it's a special . it is a pity that no former diplomat was nominated for the presidency, and we did not actually have such a precedent. roman, roman petrovich is immortal, well, he was nominated before, that is, i mean that he should be an ambassador, and then come from the ambassadorial post and let's go i take part there in deputies or presidents, well, levko was once there too hryhorych lukyanko, i think he was also an ambassador, i don't remember, he was an ambassador somewhere for a

while, but oh well. in any case, we understand that the hard-working man gets to the financial and political capital of the world, you can say that, well , at least key interests, key people, political, influential people will be there, and he has a large field for activity, plus of course, we have, we know , that he also has excellent relations with the military leadership, there with radikin, in particular in britain, so i think that it will be fruitful cooperation and very, very active cooperation, and here is another information that i wanted you to... clarify, translate it in plain language with language from a language so diplomatic to a greater extent india has filed charges, launched an investigation into the fact that in india the russians were trying to recruit local residents or those who were going abroad to russia , hindus for the war in ukraine, and in this way india allegedly sends a signal to the world that we are distancing ourselves, we are not sending anyone to russia, we are not

supplying... soldiers to russia, no, absolutely, it is the activity of some people there, we are trying fight with it, does it show the fact that india is really distancing itself from russia shows that we do not want to support it either economically, politically, or resource-wise in any way, but india is a huge country and has a huge influence, at least there in indo-china, whatever please, no, this does not mean that india will turn its back on russia, well, the first and most important thing is that in any normal, civilized country in the world , ... normal, is not a democratic legal state, and this is the first moment, and it is clear that we cannot tolerate when such things happen on the territory of your state without your permission that these mercenaries are recruited and do something, because you know, it can be militants first to kill ukrainians, and then this there may be some terrorist organizations, that is, of course, that all this is illegal, illegal and it

should be... well, in fact , those people who are engaged in this are investigated and convicted, from the point of view of whether india will turn away from russia, no, it will not, she takes a stand, let's say yes, it is in the middle , it does not interfere at all, yes, it helps us, there are certain positions in which they help us in terms of security, it does not help the russian federation in terms of security, but it buys large volumes of oil from russia, but also other goods, this... has existed since soviet times, when india was a non-aligned country that actually did not want to participate in all the confrontations between communism and the free world, and even now, the indian armed forces are extremely dependent on russian weapons, primarily land forces, but also the naval forces, because , for example, the same power plants on nuclear submarines, they were

designed from soviet, from russian feces. therefore, of course, it is necessary, and the hindus need time and money in order to transfer their armed forces to something else. thank god that last year there were whole cavalcades of visitors, from europe, then there was a very good visit of prime minister modi to washington, he was received there as a luminary of democracy, and a large number of good documents were signed from the technical point of view, technological cooperation and military-technical cooperation as well , that is, we will see further, india will be less dependent on russia, but this is a very distant prospect, so far they are playing this game, that is, we are not joining , this is not the time for warriors, as the prime minister said . modi, but to do something serious to punish russia, or to deprive it of the opportunity to earn money and wage war, they will definitely not do, well, china is at least trying to do something, at least there are visits, well

, let's say, lihui arrived yesterday by train to kyiv to continue the second round of the shuttle diplomacy regarding the search for a political settlement of the ukrainian crisis, he has already been to russia, he has been to the european union, so how do you comment on this next one? was something important brought, or just come , as they say, to probe the soil and understand, and what is kyiv ready for, what is the situation at the front, what are the prospects, and well, it is important for china in the sense that the chinese economy is also not wants to suffer from this war for a long time, and they probably also think, well, how long can it be endured for sure, and then negotiate somehow and are you willing to negotiate, please, and well, i think that... they could just read the situation in ukraine and, let's say, what is happening in the united states, as being favorable for zandaj, because we did not get already there how many 5-6 months of aid from the united states, it

led to not very positive results, including the withdrawal of the ukrainian defense forces from avdiyivka, and of course the prospect of trump's arrival, it can, well, according to the chinese, i think they think so. that can push ukrainians, while they are in a better position, to start talking about something with the russians, but it is clear that the so-called peace plan, or the plan for settling the ukrainian crisis, as the chinese call it, it is definitely not what we can, what we can agree on , because first of all, they do not condemn the armed aggression of the russian federation, despite the fact that, in fact , all of russia's actions fall under resolution 3314 of 1974 on recognition. aggression, then they do not demand that russia withdraw its armed forces from the territory of ukraine, they even they do not say whether the newly occupied annexed territories or the old occupied ones, that is , it is not about this, well, the chinese constantly repeat that

it is necessary to somehow take into account, as they call, the legitimate security interests of the russian federation, this means that ukraine must be a non-aligned state, they do not likes nato in europe, as the americans create or strengthen alliances. to restrain china, so this is an attempt of the layer, let's say this, it is an attempt to see what the temperature is, what they are capable of, what they agree to in ukraine and europe, in russia, i'm sure they said, we are ready for negotiations if ukraine recognizes the new territorial realities, that is, that we have lost everything that was illegally annexed and occupied, well, by and large, china is not our ally, it is an ally of the russian federation. de yura and de facto , this war is not profitable for them, of course, because they suffer a little, but on the other hand, they buy, if anything, the same oil and other resources of the russian federation, sell the same

electric cars, they are on the first place now in by sales in the world, and it suits them quite well that russia is weak, it is not failing, it is not collapsing, but it is weak and of course they can extract anything they want from russia. on the other hand, they can't help russia because it would mean a deterioration of relations with both the european union and the united states, and it would hit the technology that the chinese want to have, and investment, so trade is bilateral, so they are trying everyone should sit on two chairs and get a maximum of positivity and at the same time look like peacekeepers for the so-called global cock , i have one more question very briefly, it's just to clarify. you know, on the one hand, this is how you can support russia, expect something, despite the fact that your ports are empty, or you do not want to buy oil, because we understand that the chinese economy is not almighty, just like any other economy of any country in the world, but for six months of the counteroffensive, russia was throwing

mad forces, ukraine had a shortage of ammunition, the failure of the mobilization by tens of thousands, there were many problems , and gara mish was happy, russia captured azhdiivka, and so surely in china they may think that you will be three more years... attack, that you will take berdychi, well then the prospect of war, so you can fight endlessly with the prospect of capturing berdychi and the karlov reservoir, well , i think they look a little differently, well, first of all... they look at the asymmetry in our potential, both demographically and from the point of view of the iron that we can produce, or that our partners can give us, and russia, of course, is increasing the production of drones and missiles , and of course they are helped, china helps with chips and goods dual purpose, north korea and iran are direct weapons, then they look at it in perspective and look at it from the point of view of what... let's put it this way, well, everyone says, well,

look, there is a dead end, there are forces on the ground in ukraine and russia exhausted all that they could do, although to be honest, well, you know, you can't look at this war so one-sidedly, because look at the black sea, and last year there were quite big successes, we opened up our trade, we actually destroyed from 25 to a third of the russian black sea fleet, and of course that a... most likely it will cease to exist, by the way, i came up with such a meme, this is a monument to a sunken ship in sevastopol, then it will be necessary to build a symmetrical one just like it in honor of those ships that we have already sunk, and god forbid that we will destroy in the near future , we have 20 seconds, mr. oleksandr, simply, that is , the chinese, they are looking in a wider context and trying there is a possibility of this peacekeeping so-called mission in quotation marks, thank you very much for the comments, oleksandr khara, the diplomat

was in touch with us, well and now i want to say that we have military results of the week and serhii zgrec, next to me. greetings serhiy. i congratulate you vasyl, i congratulate our viewers. today, we will talk about what happened during the week on the front line, about the readiness of european countries to increase military aid to ukraine, and about how our air force and naval forces put the enemy in a stupor both in the air and at sea. about that with... a moment. yes, well, here we go. i'm just reading the comments, it's to answer the question. i asked if will be able to run for office. i will digress here, because it is important. to the president, if he was abroad as an ambassador, and people write here that, well, as if we are stupid, we don't know that the ukrainian embassy in london is the territory of ukraine. will not live in the embassy, ​​he is not arrested there, he will

move around london, and all of london is not the territory of ukraine, so don't think that we are such idiots, we just don't know, thanks for the tip, of course, but we are well, we know, thank you, yes, and he will still fly there, and that also outside the borders of ukraine, well, london does not begin with leaving the president's office, yes, aviation trends, the absence of a50s at the front, i read today the information that despite everything, the a50s still do not return to the azov sea, they are afraid, or do you understand that they may not protect him somewhere, well, really, when we talk about the struggle of our air forces with the enemy in the air, this week was really revealing, because after the destruction of the second a50 plane, the situation with the guidance of the enemy on the use of his bombers, she worsened, and this affected the effectiveness of the use of russian aviation, plus we have to remember that a total of

15... planes were shot down there, these are a50s, there are also su-34s, su-35s, and these downed planes, well, they really affected the ability of the russian aviation to carry out combat operations, but the a50 is really the highlight of the combat operations of the air forces, because it was shot down at a considerable distance, probably with the use of the ukrainian long-range air defense system, and now the enemy is afraid to renew the... against planes in the area that he considered safe. now we see a situation where planes do not take off, and even air force commander alashchuk literally said today that our systems were used against the enemy at a distance of 150 km. he did not say which system was used, but we can see that control and influence on the enemy is carried out using air defense systems, and that's exactly right. a positive trend this week and i think that it will simply

scale up for further periods as well, well, yes of course, i didn't want the russians to come up with something, but i think that we are also thinking about something, and even more so, we have our partners who provide us with intelligence information and a lot of other information, technological means that many of which we don't know about, i think, well, maybe we know , we just don't know that it works, if it doesn't work, then it's good, they already say, well, that's how we communicate with colleagues, everyone already has acquaintances , friends at the front say that ... ammunition has appeared, well, it's not just what friends they know there say, we can see it from the events as well on the front, here is the appearance of ammunition, can we talk about the end of the ammunition famine as a fact, or can we talk... only about some such point injection, as they say, which gives the opportunity now to this large military body of the ukrainian army to continue functioning, well, does it function in the sense of giving an adequate rebuff to the enemy? well, this is actually not a simple question, because we understand that we were promised european

ammunition, ukraine itself bought about 350,000 ammunition with its own funds, we are implementing a number of contracts with other countries, but... when we talk about ammunition, we understand that at one time we had a significant shortage of ammunition, and we were using up to 300 rounds of ammunition per day, and that is the minimum amount that we need to carry out defensive operations. recently, in many directions, we have heard from our friends that, in particular, in the pakhmud direction , there are units that use artillery there near ivanivskyi. have a much larger amount of ammunition than they have had before, and in fact, i think it is the first of its kind a significant step to improve the situation along the entire front line, as far as it will be systemic, i hope systemic, because we remember the initiative of the czech republic, which announced that there are 800 thousand ammunitions that need to

be bought, and literally yesterday i was there made a material where he referred to bloomberg that funds were found for all 800,000, that is within 1.5 billion dollars. just a couple of hours ago, the president of the czech republic peter pavel said that there are funds for 300,000, they will be delivered in the near future, and the rest will determined in the near future, so relatively speaking, these 15 countries that have now found funds to buy ammunition from various countries, they ensure the continued supply of ammunition for the armed forces and our... the average need is somewhere in the range of 200,000 per month, this is what allows for more active defensive actions with hints of counter-offensive actions. if we 're talking about 200,000 munitions per month, that's right in the range of over 2 million per year, which is

what we need for effective defense with the possibility of counteroffensive actions. i read about the french today, well, we 'll get to them later, but for now, that's it in a nutshell. projectiles that france wants to take to the countries of this persian gulf, i think it went there, well , the arabian peninsula, it was about, according to me , saudi arabia, and the weapons, saudi arabia, so the weapons that it handed over to them, well , it was about and with the fact that, in the long term, not to sell anything to them, but to sell everything to ukraine, well, then, if we remember this story, france has really changed the situation even in terms of ammunition, because firstly, she supported the decision that this peace fund, which was created by european countries for the purchase of ammunition , ammunition can be purchased from these funds outside the european union, because france was against such a decision until a certain time , and now macron is showing a lot of changes in his approaches, and when we talk about ammunition, it was said that france,

germany and italy are now actually negotiating with qatar, saudi arabia and the emirates to return the ammunition, which there... were delivered to them so that these ammunitions would be transferred to ukraine, and the minister of defense of france announced today that the capacities of at least three enterprises will be deployed in ukraine in three directions, these are unmanned subjects, repair of armored vehicles and possible production of ammunitions , it is a nexter company, and this is also a significant change in the approaches of the french side, it becomes more active in the context. this is precisely the strengthening of ukraine's defense capabilities. yes, i think that when the motors of these are warmed up of european production, they will move to these rails, well, then it will be difficult to stop, because we perfectly understand that there are resources, and labor force, and technologies, all of this in europe, well, the question there is, of course

, these components for ammunition, well but i think that they will find all the necessary things there , both metal and bail, and everything that needs to be found there for this. now we will talk about the avdiiv front. the offensive of the armed forces of the russian federation with great efforts and, unfortunately, with the blood of the armed forces of ukraine, well, you can say stopped, and i'll start with whether it was really possible to repel the thin one? i read such reports , but i just did not find out, i did not find the first sources of such until the end, but such were very loud headlines, i saw, well, i could not just check it, well, when we talk about the situation on the line front, it really stabilized this week, when we talk about the western... part of the defense line, which comes west of avdiyivka, we know that the ukrainian troops there retreated to the berda line, or semenivka, orlivka, thin and... and so the enemy tried to continue using the potential of that group, which was in the enemy

's accumulated widow, to push through our defense along this line, which actually passes over not entirely convenient terrain, not entirely convenient conditions, because there and avdiivka is higher than this line, which i am talking about now, and now it can be said about these settlements that berdychi is held... quite reliably by the 47th brigade, the enemy is destroyed there on the approaches, if there is an enemy there, then he is that in the eastern huts, and there are literally several of them, yes, when we talk about such settlements as orlivka and tonenka, then until a certain time i believe that at least 40% of orlivka is in the hands of the enemy , in tonenka, i think that there sing... 50 to 50 , but to say this ratio in the conditions of active hostilities, i think that it is still

such, well, a certain exaggeration, it does not quite accurately reflect the situation, both the eagle and the thin one, they are under our control primarily using artillery, our troops operate in the villages, and enemy troops, but it is indicative that during this week there was a significant number of counterattacks both on this part of the front and on... other parts, which indicates that our military has probably strengthened with reserves and artillery, and i think that we will receive this area and in the future , although we understand that the enemy will also use this window of opportunity with an advantage in numbers in order to achieve some success in this area, which has become politically significant for the enemy, and if we talk about the times of yar and novomykhalivka, this is already a different direction, it is already from bakhmut, but there you go. kostiantynka slovianska is in perspective, but it is far away, well , we are now talking about the fact that what the enemy wants to take, for him, is a huge

operational bridgehead such, well, it is not an operational one, but it is an operational shot, we open in order to to move on, and there and to kramatorsk, well, so on, those are the key cities that are there now, and is it really true that the fortifications that were there were improved, and those that were not were quickly built, because what i read, well forever. in fact, work was going on not only here, but also here, in particular, on the construction of effective, most importantly effective fortified districts. well, in fact, when both the media, the expert community, and the political community began to actively talk about fortifications, it became an important impetus for these works to be accelerated. now we see a lot of reports from the ministry of defense about how these fortifications are being created at various frontiers, despite the fact that... we have to understand that in fact there were fortifications in certain directions, and when we are there carefully

we will see on the satellite images that i am going to show the area in front of chasivyar, then in fact there are a number of fairly good fortification lines, which will be used if suddenly the enemy still manages to push through to this direction, but we understand that it has been a long time hostilities are also taking place there in sub. nivka and in ivanivsk itself, where the fighting is quite intense, but they do not lead to the fact that the enemy has such a significant potential to quickly break through our defenses, and we understand that the maintenance of yaro's time is significant an important task for our armed forces and the presence of fortifications and forces in this direction, it seems to me, will allow us to maintain this line of defense, although we understand that... at the time the yar is such a tempting target for the enemy because it really opens up opportunities there is an advance there and to kostyantynivka and to other

directions that the enemy is interested in, but in any case, i repeat, this week is such a week of significant counterattacks by our troops in many directions and partial stabilization of the front line, what in particular yesterday, the commander of the ground forces pavlyuk spoke about the fact that we want to mobilize the front line... and we are making efforts for this, this week is just an indicator of this concept. we literally have 3 minutes, so it's very short, let 's counterattack then, did the armed forces of ukraine go on a counteroffensive again, well, on what scale in the robotyny district? well, i would not say about a counteroffensive, we are talking about the fact that the enemy tried to carry out attacks from the west, from the east, rather counterattacks, because relatively speaking, a counteroffensive is more a large-scale action, a counterattack is an action against an enemy attack. at the tactical level, so to speak, during this week

the enemy really tried to carry out attacks in the west and in the east. robot and there were ukrainian counterattacks, which indicates that the defense line around this settlement remains strong, although the enemy jumped into the robots, but remained there, so in any case we are talking about the fact that this section of the front remains under the control of our armed forces, although i repeat this piece of territory, which we have now bitten into the russian defense, in fact it is not easy to hold it there, and the enemy will always try to carry out these flank attacks, but this strategy, tactics... has not led to success on the part of the enemy for a long time, well two minutes, but i will ask, the competition of france and britain in the introduction of leadership in leadership positions, regarding ukraine, france declares to the mouth of vakron that suddenly the enemies will introduce troops to kyiv or odessa, well, that is, neither the corridor to the sea, nor the capital as a sign of statehood , no one does let putin forget already, and britain too, which of them will win,

let them fight for the leadership in aid all the time, well, really we are talking about... that this week was also indicative from the point of view of that european countries on the one hand have recorded higher volumes of military aid when we talk about ammunition, and there have been politically important statements from france in particular, where the french president says that there are no red lines when it comes to the defense of ukraine , and he talks about the possibility of sending french, french specialists to ukraine to create enterprises, i have already mentioned. earlier, so was britain, but today in kyiv, the british defense minister said that britain would do everything to ensure that ukraine wins on the battlefield, i think that this important alliance of both the french and the americans, even if it does not look as an alliance, and there is a strategy of each country towards ukraine, it is quite useful for us, i think that the approach of these countries

to support our armed forces, our states are extremely at this stage, well , it’s granta shaps, if i’m not mistaken, you should see it in kyiv, and france really, already at one time, thanks to napolon bonaparte, well , before that, to the jacobins and everything else, destroyed empires, starting with the monarchy from its , and the empire in general, then went to war not against austria-hungary, russia and britain were defeated there, but in any case, i think that in france it is in the blood, some such unexpected steps, as partos said, i would i fight simply because i fight. well, but kaliager comaleger in the war, as in the war, i believe that by the end of his term, and he is not waiting for the third term, he will finish his mandate with this term of emmanuel macron. maybe he will take the actions that he considers historic, if he goes down in history as someone who helped defeat putin and an aggressive russia, i think he lived for a reason. thank you very much, serhiy, serhiy zurets, director of the defense express agency. thank you vasyl, thank you to our viewers. we hope that next week

will be the basis for good news for ours. well and now i have a plot for your attention, before we move on to the news, please watch the espresso tv channel together with the charity foundation man and the right handed over unique equipment to the ukrainian defenders at the front, what they bought and who will receive it, let's see. together , a large force, more than 1,200 thousand. collected by viewers of the espresso tv channel for the 108th territorial defense brigade, which operates in hot spots in the southern direction. with these funds , the human and right charitable foundation purchased powerful battery stations and solar panels so that ukrainian defenders would have uninterrupted access to electricity. these are very powerful batteries, they are shockproof, sealed

and adapted to difficult weather conditions. and they are very powerful, there are about 10 kw, 5 kw and 2.5 kw, there is no electricity at the front, and of course everything has to be recharged in the trenches, and optics, and drones, and phones, and tablets, the purchased equipment is unique, it works silently and does not attract the attention of the enemy, the stationary solar panels will be transferred to the headquarters, the folding ones will go to the military field locations. this is very important for fighters equipment, but even more, to understand why they are there on the front line, and that here in the rear they are taken care of, they are helped, because we are a single people, and we have a single enemy. i sincerely want to thank
