who has always worked. an increase in excise taxes on fuel is unacceptable, said the people's deputies of ukraine from the european solidarity faction. on them. in my opinion, such a semi-secret decision of the government will lead to a negative effect on the economy and people's living standards. they advised the authorities to find additional resources in the budget from the gambling business and the illegal cigarette market, because currently more than 32 billion hryvnias can be obtained from excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. now, even in the negotiation process about joining the european union, we have a home. hope that ukraine will approach the minimum european rate in much wider steps, that is, we will take this installment for tens of years, because we are poor in our country, our economy is suffering the most now, the cost of fuel, the cost

of energy, there is no way to avoid it, and today and in the price of food, and... the first to be affected by the increase in prices will be the enterprises of the agrarian industry, then this will definitely cause a sharp increase in all food products. they prevented a missile attack strike on theses in dnipro. the security service of ukraine detained a russian agent who wanted to correct an attack on the city's critical infrastructure. the attacker fixed for the occupier. the location of the thermal power plant and the technical condition of the object. another potential target of the enemy was the military hospital in dnipro. the figure scout scouted the number of ukrainian defenders undergoing treatment, monitored medical transport. the 22-year-old traitor was arrested red-handed near the hospital.

if you are sitting in front of the tv and watching us on tv, pick up your smart phone or phone and vote if you think accountability for wartime corruption should be strengthened 0800 211 381 no 0800 211-382, all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, we are on the phone... we have our first guest, this is roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, colonel of the security service of ukraine, secretary committee of the verkhovna rada on national security, defense and intelligence. mr. colonel, i congratulate you and thank you for joining our broadcast. good evening. mr. colonel, let 's start with the situation in kharkiv, as we see how the enemy is trying to hit the city en masse. today, the russians struck kharkiv with air-guided bombs, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the local authorities report one dead and 19

wounded, among them children, which, mr. colonel, has to do with the fact that the russian the occupiers are now actively trying to attack kharkiv, they are preparing to march on kharkiv oblast, they are making every effort to make people flee the city. that is, what is their logic, if you can explain? well, i would not get attached only to kharkiv, of course, the russians still have an appetite for kharkiv, and they consider the fact that they did not capture it as another of their defeats, especially since the kharkiv operation knocked them out of kharkiv in general region, and this is also a big defeat for them, but the russians, they are striking now along the entire front, and avdiivska, in particular. which for the first time, for the first time in the entire war, i believe, showed

that russia prevails in the air, due to the lack of anti-aircraft fire in our country, or because of its incorrect placement, because the time has changed a little there, and we saw such a fall they added, and the enemy, seeing now that he could create an advantage in the air, using, among other things , deadly bombs kap, began to use them en masse, this one on... such, they use this advantage, then, of course, it is necessary to understand that this may be followed by some kind of operation, i am not saying that tomorrow they will attack kharkiv, but the fact that they are using air bombs and planes now shows that they are, let's say, preparing for itself

as a bridgehead, therefore it is necessary to understand that we must do everything to remove this advantage... of the enemy, and this is only the presence of a larger number of anti-aircraft defenses. mr. colonel, russian medusa writes that russian so-called political elites do not rule out that russia and its ruler putin will try to take over kharkiv and gradually finish the so-called svo, or he is ready to go to the victorious one, even to kyiv. however, the ministry of defense of great britain insists that the plans of the russian federation to create two new armies already this year. will face a lack of new equipment and problems with infrastructure, to what extent the problems that the british are talking about can interfere with these plans of putin? look, we don't see that putin will stop, we see that they are developing their defense-industrial complex, at some stage it may reach its peak, let's say

of development and will simply generate what he can at his peak, but putin is developing it, this is not a show... that putin is going to stop there somewhere on the borders that he is at, and just wage a positional war . we see that the defense-industrial complex is being developed, we see that new armies are being formed, even new districts, and if you ask my opinion, i will say that i think that putin is at least targeting the entire south, the donetsk region, luhansk and same borders, and i do not exclude kharkiv, so i think... that this is a minimum program for putin - this is a fact, and they will prepare their economy and prepare their allies for this, in addition to their defense industrial complex, we see that they are fueled by their allies, who, unfortunately, are sometimes more decisive in the supply of weapons and their nomenclature, it's iran, the same, it's

north korea, and other countries that secretly. are putting, if not weapons, then very important components for it, with the help of which the russians make, including missiles, and what is there , let's say, is reported by some special bodies, that their rocket production even exceeded the pre-war level, this is a fact , and we have to reckon with it, i am not saying now that we will lose there or something, now everything depends on, now we are at the moment, i consider parity in intercept us. in most directions the initiative is behind the enemy, but this is not the initiative where they have broken through the front and are advancing in wide columns, the issue is that somewhere they are superior in artillery, in the number of shells, somewhere they are conducting more active actions, so i believe that if europe now will give us the amount of ammunition and increase the barrels, the united states will still

stop playing politics and give us - ammunition, help, let's say so. for the amount we need, then we can equalize, really, uh, take away the initiative from them, or at least create parity. mr. colonel, the german newspaper dievelt published an article and the germans predict that the war in ukraine may end this year . first, hostilities will probably freeze, second, without consent pauses. neither the russian federation nor ukraine will have an advantage on the battlefield. third, the armed forces have no prospects of returning the lost lands in the 24th year, on the contrary, we should expect new russian offensives and losses of ukrainian territory. the russian fifth, the russian federation is trying to break through the first line of defense of the armed forces in 18 places, but the second and third lines are much weaker, so

the risk of the enemy advancing deep into the country is great. sixth, the event was not underestimated. the potential of the russian federation, there are enough resources to fight a few more years, and seventh, a critical phase awaits ukraine until september, if the west does not promptly transfer more weapons, as far as it is available, mr. colonel, this presentation is fair and the main conclusions are from those data and those facts that the germans cite, look, well, i think they took all possible options, to say that some option is unrealistic. and i can't say, all the options can happen, but certain events have to happen, yes, if our partners don't give us weapons, anything can happen, because yes, the enemy can break through first line if we don't have any weapons, the question on which front will it break through, we can show an example to the work, but we also broke through the first line of defense, for example, at a width

of 9 km and a depth of 9, what did this give us, nothing, we entered, the enemy on the heights does not allow us to advance further, and we will now have a decision, it has been made for a long time, it's just that no one wants to accept it, or to expand this, let's say, the far line of the breakthrough or to issue reports. troops, because further actions are needed, serious ones are needed reserves until a decision is made , and here the question, when we talk about the breakthrough of russia , how will it break through on a front of 100 km, 20 km, or 9 km, this is already a question, and each point , of course, it has the right to be, but conditions must be created for this, this is a question, if they give us all the weapons that are promised, we are financed as promised, europe understands further what needs to be done and not said, this is one story, there are many... negative options can be excluded , if of course everyone turns away from us, blocks our borders, and the neighboring state calmly looks at this,

we have a failed mobilization there, other problems , of course we can expect negative consequences, but now the task of the state, the task of everyone, is to do everything so that we do not have these negative consequences, we have everything it's going well, last year we won back , i think, to our advantage, because... we knocked down the enemy's high potential, now the main thing is to prevent the enemy from further dominating the air, for this we need to strengthen air defense, and intercept the artillery initiative, everyone other actions will come out, will we be able to do it, seize the initiative without seizing the initiative, it is difficult to predict any active actions at all. a few days ago, mr. colonel, a russian missile flew for 39 seconds into... the territory of the polish state, the pentagon has already announced that the united states of america is ready to fulfill its obligations to protect nato, including those related to russian missile attacks , which may

threaten poland. at the same time, deputy minister of foreign affairs of poland andrzej shayna said in an interview with radio rmf fm that nato is considering the option of shooting down russian missiles when they fly towards the territories of the north atlantic alliance. let's listen to what he said. sheina, so, nato is analyzing different concepts, in particular, that such missiles should be shot down when they are already very close to the nato border, but this should happen with the consent of the ukrainian side and taking into account the international consequences, then nato missiles would hit russian missiles behind within the scope of the agreement. mr. colonel, how likely is it that the air defense, which stands in poland and which is part of... the north atlantic alliance will work in favor of ukraine, including protecting part of the western region of the ukrainian state? this is taking into account the fact that the poles block

and do not give us the opportunity even for our defense complex to sometimes import goods that are very valuable to us. we are very much disappointed by our, let’s say, neighbors who started off so well during the war, yes... but they started, and now we see what we are talking about, that rockets are already flying into their territory, yes, they say, well, it's not ours, it's ukraine's, so we can wait, of course, this is a bad story and a story that does not add, let's say respect from our side, to these expressions and statements, and this, as i said, is feeding the crocodile , in the hope that he will make you the last one, and so he is afraid to compromise. russia, when they already launch their missiles, we remember that the moves flew into the territory of romania, if i am not mistaken, now the missiles, there was a gap , several missiles have already actually arrived, but

the decisions have not been made, i will say that it was b right now, it is a good reason for our partners, for the poles, it is not that, well, first of all, to put along the border, there are patriots, because unlike us, they have much more of them, and as i said before. that this could be a reason to place their divisions on the territory of ukraine in general and under the pretext that they protect the ukrainian skies from strikes on civilian infrastructure and their own european, nato skies, this is their right, and they have the right to do so, i say , that just their divisions, let them have an algorithm there, how they use them, but it can be done, so of course they don't make these decisions now, but i think it's time to talk about it. mr. colonel, yesterday the russian security forces talked a lot about the heads of our special services and about malyuk and about budanov, about the fact that they are involved there for

theirs. with the allegation of so-called terrorist activity, a criminal case was opened against malyuk, and there was already some kind of arrest. to kill him, how do you predict that the anti-ukrainian hysteria that has been going on for the last few days surrounding the terrorist attack in... do you think it will have its consequences for the development of events on the territory of the ukrainian state, or the idol who took responsibility for it , will continue to confirm his involvement in a different way on the territory of the russian state and in such a way that the russian security forces simply will not have time to react to it all by focusing on ukrainian issues, well, for the kid... for

budanov, this is another recognition, i think that what did malyuk do to putin, a gift on his birthday, to putin, uh, i think, if you take for putin, this terrorist attack in crocus, which he is trying to turn, including on our special services, and the bridge, which is just, let's put it this way, it is considered his brainchild, which he tried to create as a monument to himself, i think that he would have been ready for a baby for that. to announce and let's say to announce the desire for him, that's why these officers and generals have already proven everything, and i think, just like budanov and malyuk, it's normal during the war legitimate targets for the russian federation, just like patrushev and other representatives of the special services are our legitimate targets, and i think our special services are also working in this direction and they, i, the kid

, can meet somewhere on the street more often than i think, and the same budanov , than i think somewhere in russia there are representatives of their special services sitting in a bunker, so this is what concerns our heads of special services, what concerns the terrorist attack directly in krokos, i think that the russians, regardless of who did this terrorist attack, there and deal, this is the fsb, putin, announcing someone as a terrorist should remember how he and patrush blew up houses in order to unleash the chechen... campaign of the next friend, if i'm not mistaken, it was just that they buried themselves under the rubble of their own citizens, and they will definitely use it, whoever did it , they will use it against ukraine, they have already done it, they are now shouting to the whole world that it was a terrorist attack, demanding sympathy for themselves, on the same day, russian missile launchers hit civilian homes in

ukraine, that's why putin... will be a terrorist to be responsible for these terrorist acts that he is doing, it is our job to protect our country and do more than, let's say, burn bridges, sink the fleet and burn oil refineries and anything and everything that works for the war in russia against us. another putin ally, the self-proclaimed president of belarus, oleksandr lukashenko, during his stay at the border area, where the combat readiness of the troops is being checked. ordered not to deal with border violators and destroy them, let's listen to what lukashenko said. they understood that it was impossible to enter belarus, because in the first minutes, as russia transferred the regions to the enhanced security regime, so did we. in the first minutes, the head of the kgb reported to me that he is engaged in anti-terrorist measures. that's it, we have

prepared our units for the combat situation. that's why they couldn't enter belarus, they saw it, so they turned away and went to the ukrainian-russian section of the border. well , we gave it a little wrong timing, but he said that i will publicly say that any provocation must be stopped by armed means, there is nothing to do with them to joke, they violated the state border to the point of destruction, no one should have a ceremony with anyone, we will do it anyway, because... if we live snots, then they know what will happen, so any violation of the state border to destruction, they understand only force, so who, to whom is lukashenko addressing in general, that is, he believes that the republic of belarus is threatened by something? i think he seems to me that he's talking to himself, he 's convincing himself that, well, if he's talking to the baltic countries that are members nato, i think belarus is not the same.
