a matter of honor and security for the united states, it shows the drama of the struggle that is taking place in the united states on this issue. indeed, for six months , the draft law on the provision of military aid to ukraine worth 64 billion has been thrashing in congress. in particular, i want to tell about two visits to kyiv. on tuesday, there was a so-called friend of ukraine linzi graham, a senator, a republican. he already came to... kyiv at the age of ten was always considered a friend of ukraine and said some nonsense, that he spoke with trump, that trump said there is no need to pass a law on aid to ukraine. he told the ukrainian audience that trump cares about ukraine, what he thinks about ukraine, proposes a new law that ukraine will receive money only as a loan, which, sorry, we don't care if it's a debt or something else, we need weapons, debt is not scary , because... that if there were weapons that are necessary

for victory, after the victory, grateful humanity will pay ukraine's debts dozens of times, that's not the point, all these maneuvers of trump in order to prolong the situation, for six months the republicans lied that they were in favor of helping ukraine, but a border law is needed. when the border bill was agreed upon, trump ordered republicans loyal to him to block it. now new chatter, about the fact that they will give a loan. congress is going on vacation again for two weeks, the issue is postponed for another two months, probably the americans have already understood, biden understood the disgrace of this situation. yesterday was an unexpected visit of salvan to kyiv. salvan, as we know, is not the greatest friend of ukraine, he is a person who always advocated for ukraine not to be defeated. he never talked about winning of ukraine. it seems that biden sent him in order to convince ukrainians that now...

ukraine's victory. he said that ukraine can win, and america will fully support it. and he also said other important words, because this is not only a question of the security of ukraine, but also a question of the security of the united states. these are all good words, but action is needed. sullivan said at the press conference that he understood. and he emphasized once again, this is a matter of our own security. we will see how it will be resolved, but it seems that the position of europe prompted biden's attempt to take such decisive action. macron proposes the so-called the macron doctrine. this is not just a throw-in at a press conference. he develops the concept

that we have to defeat russia. he uses the word defeat for russia for the first time. he states that on the eve of the possible victory of trump, who will simply stop helping ukraine, which is an enemy of nato. europe will be defenseless. we wasted 30 years talking about the european army. and now we have only one european army. this is the army of ukraine, which is fighting and restraining this whole eastern horde, which is ready to go to europe, and we must to strengthen this european army by all means, up to the participation of its own armed forces. we understand very well, zelenskyi said this a few days ago at a press conference, that neither france nor europe currently has ready-made infantry divisions that could take a place on the front line. there is a feeling

, so to speak, that such things do not happen just like that, because it is not just self-preservation, they realized that they are exposed, europe remains completely defenseless against putin, if trump withdraws not only the protection of ukraine, but withdraws the protection europe, they realized that they have no protection, i will repeat an important thesis once again. macron that the only european army now, the one fighting in ukraine, needs to be strengthened with weapons. and its wording is very important, no red lines. i do not rule out anything, including sending french soldiers and soldiers from other countries. and it is very important for macron that he emphasized: our servicemen are already participating in the war in ukraine. he emphasized that british and french experts in the field.

"look, no political obstacles there is no supply of planes, the americans removed them, and there are no economic issues, there are issues of logistics. the fact is that the victory of ukraine can be ensured by an operation in crimea, expulsion, use of the weak point of the russian military machine in crimea. even now, without fleet aviation, ukraine threw the black sea fleet out of crimea." it 's not about one pilot, for every pilot there are five more service people, including airfields. macron's concept is to direct the aviation of nato countries. this can

solve the issue war. they understand that churchill was not worried about stalin's attack on london. cannot give up ukraine now, because they perfectly understand that they are next , and that no trump will protect them, and no one will protect them, except for the ukrainian army, but provided with the supply of modern western weapons, this is what macron's concept is, in my opinion. andriy andriyevich, if we talk about the scenario, the putin scenario, the kremlin scenario after putin's reappointment to the post. he is now taking russia to the military, to military rails and beyond he is getting ready to go. your vision of putin's trajectory after his reappointment. i will return again to the macron doctrine. in fact, without providing weapons yet, macron has already

won a political victory over putin. he turned the board over, saying that the french troops were already there, and that he was not betting. no restrictions, immediately putin reacted to this initiative, and this is the best illustration of his plans in his fifth presidency. on the first day, he said, this was his first reaction: "we can hit the french territory, we have not only conventional weapons." macron immediately replied: france also has nuclear weapons, and with this putin's threats were immediately nullified. look at the discussion that has unfolded now on all russian patriotic channels. this z cattle indignantly says: basically macron declared war on putin against russia, said that we are for the defeat of russia, and our armed forces, our specialists are already participating in hostilities, so why have we not yet struck france, russian patriots ask, well, not immediately with nuclear weapons,

well we already have a great convention, so no inflicted, which they perfectly understand if they strike france, germany, poland and any other country... and on the other hand, andrii andriyovych, i do not have insiders from the kremlin, but laling deger,

the language of war is extremely eloquent for of any analytical community, a fact, and accordingly, i follow how medvedev's rhetoric changes, that is, for two years. that's why he was a little calmer, and now he just threw the table away, you know, that's it, the bar has fallen, he has plans, yes, but i repeat, regarding nuclear ones, macron has zeroed him out immediately, just as the americans nullified it with their warnings back in october 22, as soon as you reach for nuclear weapons, you will simply be killed by a retaliatory blow, and likewise what are the plans, that's why they ask, you ask the same. .. why haven't we hit france yet? and that's why they didn't realize that france also has nuclear weapons. as for conventional weapons, the first strike against france will direct the full force of nato's long-range missiles and aircraft against you, which will make your

situation very difficult. pay attention to one more very important point. the first thing putin did - activated his fifth column in paris. and on the very first day, all the left parties, the main one - pensha, all spoke about the fact that macron is pushing us to a world war, that this is adventurism and so on, but two days ago, lepensha appeared on the screen again and unexpectedly declared that macron is right putin is an aggressor, he has broken all the laws, now he is a threat to europe, and therefore he must be stopped by all means, she was well dealt with, documents probably showed her funding by the putin regime, her presidential campaign, and macron secured domestic political rear. putin has one argument left for france. i am sure he will apply it. putin has many sleeper cells of islamic terrorists in france. islamic

terrorist acts stopped in france, and every time they happened before, one of the participants was a chechen with a russian passport, that is, these cells were controlled by moscow, well , at one time, spain was pulled out of the war as a tool of islamic terrorism, remember ... .. to whom, yes, well, this is this tool works, and it can work in the case of france. putin is preparing to use this tool inside the country. you have noticed the hysteria of diplomats in moscow. they all said that there will be terrorist acts in russia soon. patrushev did not invent new tricks, how they came to power, blowing up houses in ryazan, and he is going to do the same now. on the eve of the elections, the fsb allegedly exposed something islamic. group in kaluga, which was preparing the explosion of a synagogue in moscow. at a meeting at the fsb, putin warned that

a terrorist act is being prepared and they have to expose it. i am sure that there will be revelations, and putin will use them to introduce martial law in the country, conduct a new wave of mobilization, severely crack down on any critics, by the way, not only opponents of the war, but also those who will ask him preschool questions, why they still haven't destroyed france, which... declared war on us. finally, to andrii andriovych, i wanted to ask you about the prospects of the so-called geneva swiss format. this is how we understand that a big summit is coming up, where the peace formula will be discussed. yes, and the chinese send their emissaries there as observers. and the behavior of the chinese is very important. the prospect of the summit depends in part on the political will of the west, the political will of europe, which macron is currently demonstrating. and the revival of washington's political will, for which yesterday's visit by sullivan gives us hope,

but hope needs to be backed up by deeds, because china is watching everything closely. you and i discussed when, after october 7, biden gave a wonderful speech that the forces of terror declared war on the free world. putin wants to destroy ukraine, iran wants to destroy israel, but we will not allow it, and backed it up with deeds, he directed two aircraft carrier groups, in which he stands for... the bill that has been thrashing in congress for six months, china understood, saw the determination and wavered, after that xi rushed to san francisco and declared that in the historical perspective he sees reunification with taiwan only by peaceful means and asked the americans to return american investments and american technologies, without which the economy china has been collapsing in the last two years, but the hesitation that began after the indecision of the biden administration for the next six months prompted china to think again. then china, certain that it had received a signal of us determination, backed off somewhat from its support behind the backs

of iran and russia, and now, if the west continues to show weakness, china will once again return to an aggressive policy. it now depends on the political will of the west whether biden and his administration can stand up to trump's treasonous activities, which blocks the law, everything depends on how successfully and consistently macron's initiative will develop. peace - the only real solution - is the victory of the european united army, the core of which is the ukrainian armed forces, over russia on the battlefield in ukraine. thank you andrii andriyovych for this extremely interesting conversation, i wish you good health, i want to remind our tv viewers that andrii piontkovskyi, a famous political expert, was working for them in washington. thank you, see you next time. the time of our program has run out, leave it with the tv channel espresso. my colleagues you. will inform about all the most important events of this day , take care of yourself and your loved ones,

know. the enemy must have heard how we wallowed here, shouted, because it was such joy, and then i woke up there. there has never been a single time that someone did not hit the first time, after that all the other starters that... left en masse, only us practiced on tanks, and we at psu watched how these two helicopters fell, you just rewatch the video of your work and like, well, you get a kick out of it. in recent months , fpv drones have been increasingly impacting the battlefield,

hitting the majority of the battlefield, from armored vehicles to infantry. this is donbas-reality and this time we decided to find out whether bp will be able to. kamikaze at the price of several hundred dollars to dislodge from the battlefield anti-tank missiles for several tens of thousands of dollars. how has the role of the javelins changed since 2022 and how are the armed forces holding back russian armored columns on the front calculation of drones. equipment for several flights at once. oleksandr, evgeny and vitaliy, they hide their faces for safety's sake, in five months of flying they have already become a professional calculation. for one day, they have more than a dozen sets of drones with ammunition. well , it turns out, if the pilot doesn't fly, i'm to blame, if it doesn't crash,

the pyrotechnics are to blame. our suppliers are so conscientious. that is, they do their job as well as possible, basically all that remains is to collect and fly. to begin with work, then there were five of us, three to five drones went to work, for us it seemed that work, now 15 drones per day, is normal, the norm, the main thing is goals, goals are there, we find and produce them. the fighters themselves call their group comanche, they serve in the 40th artillery brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, and as a rule, they look for targets in the body. in less than two months of this year, oleksandr has already lost count of the equipment he managed to hit. 3.4 sau, tank, bmp, it's as i remember it, eight or 10 pieces from the 1930s, there are a couple of cars,

well, there are. let's just say i just don't remember that is, well, for the beginning, when we were counting, well, when there was something to count, well, that is , it was not enough, you remember everything, and then when you already, when everyone has already developed and the work has started, then it's just you lose count. first, they check the known position of the artillery, but during the night the cannon is gone, it’s empty, i’ll look again right now and... they’ll just drag her in, because she is, you think, there one by one, with this drone they harvest the dugout, on... oh, the fighters don’t restrain emotions, another

hit on the target, this self-propelled artillery acacia, it is just covered with logs for protection, hats run away, it's a pity there is no lighting, do you want a joke? my friend, right at her, i didn’t record the video, the re-entry was already under the supervision of the uav, another hit, and the gap, but it doesn’t smoke, there must be a kalashov somewhere on you, there were even emotions for us at the beginning, when we started working in the field of fpv, we even fell to the target there three... 3 m 5 m for us it was the result that we flew to the area of ​​the target, we were satisfied with everything, well , damn, such emotions were cool, then already

when they started to hit, oh, i wish they could put a cannon there, they are such serious targets, sao is always a priority target, because sao is moving, it is a self-propelled artillery installation, you, it is here now, and in half an hour it will not be there , and that is, it is not even discussed, it is... our priority goal. the calculation focused its strikes on artillery, in particular, due to the fact that there are no active russian assaults, ukrainian positions with the involvement of armored vehicles in this direction, and after several months of flights it gives a tangible result. therefore, for today, a little allowed to land. on the one hand, this is good, on the other hand, it is bad, because our work is a little slow, but it is more good than bad. in principle, if there is a target that is good with infantry, then it is possible. large, well, that is , destroying them is not a question, artillery, because it is active and the enemy shoots quite well, let's say so. fighters receive

information: an enemy tank is in range, a drone is sent to it, but there is no tank at the specified coordinates at the time of approach. here, he was here for a while, here is this tree. he was here. exactly the same itself. look, the picture is on the ground, look, just look. in these shots, you can see how another russian tank did not manage to escape, it was knocked out a little earlier and it burns after being hit by alexander's drone. mavik gave the coordinates that the tank had left and it was working, the guys ran to find their way, prepared the drone, took off, immediately he didn't have time to leave and from the very first he said goodbye, did he leave for direct fire or was he pounding on our infantry. we were shouting here, i don't know, the enemy probably heard how we were rolling here, shouting, because it was such joy, and then in the morning, and you go to bed, you lie like this, but

we screwed up the dance, well, like we wanted it, then you wake up in the morning, that she broke the dance, it burned down at our place, you just watch the video of your work and like, well, you get a kick out of it , garvata for the ukrainian military, due to a significant shortage of fpv art ammunition, drones have become almost the main means of defeat both on the front line and in the depth several kilometers from it. there are so many fpvons now that they even hit infantry, although they focus mainly on armored vehicles. the point is that fpv drone is the cheapest nlos means of hitting targets. enlos, i.e. beyond line of sight. this is a highly accurate means of defeat, because the operator can choose the zone. defeat , i.e. do not hit, for example, a tank in the frontal combat part, attack the motor-transmission compartment, which will disable it, and this is a means that again attacks from above in the least protected area

of ​​​​any tank, so in such a quick factor , i.e. cheapness, mass, mobility, enlos mode, currently fpi drones have no competitors, at the beginning of 2022 fpv drones as a means of defeat did not yet exist, in the first months the ukrainian... the tactics of stretching the russian forces were primarily based on artillery and anti-tank missile complexes. the influence of the latter was so noticeable that even the meme sein tavalin saint javelin appeared, an image of the american peter with religious motifs. in the early stages of the war, the russians attacked in separate columns, in loose formation, and during the offensive they did not have to...

they killed, for example, the first and last vehicle in the column, which allowed the artillery to destroy all car inside. such weapons were used as reinforcements to support artillery. if we consider the classic anti-tank defense even before the appearance of pronrons, then such a system was mined in the zsu, there in the 22nd year, then at the beginning it works, for example, peterka stugna, it is up to 5 km, but here the aspect is that it would still be necessary find such direct visibility of the battlefield. but well, the first first finish line is 5 km, after that it can work, for example, javelin or karsar 2.5 km, at a short distance when, which is measured in hundreds of meters above, they start to work anti-tank grenade launchers, directly, to which we add anti-tank mines, anti-tank fortifications, embankments, anti-tank ditches. and at the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, atgm operators

constantly struck russian armored vehicles, including twice shooting down k-52 helicopters with the help of the ukrainian stugna p complex. denys saw how they fell, he himself destroyed 20 whole at that time. we then have launches in one day. at that time, we had launches in one day. they stood from the left edge of the forest, and we from right only we practiced on tanks and we at pdtu watched as these two helicopters fell. we have a month. in our country , each operator produced 10 pieces of equipment in a month. and so... they were slowly caught in the cesspools, or when they tried to start infantry. here are the results of new assaults by russian troops near bilogorivka in the luhansk region a few weeks ago, russian armored vehicles were burned in different areas of the field. it started on february 4, because on the third i drove into the position, and on the fourth theta the whole thing started. they they climbed from all sides, from one side there

jumped out three, from the other side five. i wasn't impressed, but this is already being done by the second dudes who saw it all, we immediately launched the cover, because this work is very risky, well, the last time there were three tanks, the previous time a tank and bnt. andriy and rasim alone have nine destroyed tanks and armored vehicles, almost all targets were hit in recent weeks, before that russian troops

did not use armored vehicles in their direction. each of these operators was trained by denis. they are mostly taught to play corsairs and bassoons there. their they mostly teach corsairs and bassoons there, but when they come here, strings and javelins are something new for them. well, we have simulators and documentation. yes, in principle, and during execution you can learn, try. there has never been a time when someone didn't hit it the first time. the first launch was such an adventure, but in the first launch i had a hit, i destroyed the run. well, mandrake , of course, strongly.
