this is not a fantasy, these are still old soviet tu-22s, well, tu-22s are, you know , any system, modern air defense systems destroy at a distance, and we need such systems, the armed forces of ukraine simply do not have enough of them, or there are almost none, it is closer to the front line, so they should appear there, we are deciding now, and this is my main opinion, specific issues, the defense of ukraine, the destruction of aggressor terrorist missiles and bombs. and preserving a maximum of our defenders, questions about negotiation opportunities or lost opportunities, these questions are more theoretical, well i, for example, do not deal with them, so i think that discussing them is a waste of time, but look, another statement came from the mouth of the former federal chancellor of the federal republic of germany herhard schröder, who , by the way, was once involved in gazprom, he is there , it seems, was the chairman of the supervisory board, and it is relevant. went to gazprom, what does he say? he

says that he could negotiate peace with putin. he said this in an interview with the german dpa agency. what he says: we have had good cooperation for many years with putin in mind, maybe it can still help find a solution at the negotiating table. i don't see any other way. france and germany should take the initiative in this matter. it is obvious that the war cannot end with the total defeat of any of the parties - said schroeder. what shroeder says obviously plays into the hands of vladimir putin, but on the other hand, considering the terrorist nature of the regime headed by vladimir putin, should we even talk about the fact that we will come to an agreement with him, maybe he wants peace, and he was not understood, and neither were we we can let him lose, so we will negotiate with him, why is the world not talking about putin as the number one terrorist in the world?

my first comment about the words or statements of mr. schroeder, everything is much more serious, but also simple: the war putin introduced, prepared and will wage as long as the world will allow him to earn from energy carriers, as long as they buy russian oil, as long as they buy other energy carriers from russia, there is putin has money for war, and he will use it for war, and shjodr knows this very well, look now, as only gazprom (remember there was such a gas super super monopolist with huge revenues of billions and that the europeans, our partners, began to buy less russian gas and imposed a lot of sanctions and so on and so on and on a weekly basis russian gazprom now loses 5.6 billion rubles a week does not earn loses works works they should do the same for oil, and believe me, then it won't be just negotiations, then it will be white. flag in moscow and they will ask

for everything, just buy something again, because in fact the entire regime of putin, as well as his army terrorist depends on oil dollars and gas dollars, i.e. on the fact that, including large western countries, still buy energy carriers from the russian federation, and there is no need to look for some big conspiracy, war is always a war of resources, russia has the only resource left, it's a trade. energy carriers in the world. thank you, mr. valentin, it was valentin nalyvaichenko, people's deputy of ukraine, former head of the security service of ukraine. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube platforms and facebook. for those who are currently watching us on tv and youtube. we are conducting a survey today and ask you the following: are you satisfied with danilov's work as secretary of the national security and defense council. yes, no, it's quite simple on youtube if you have your own personal opinion. or

a special opinion, please write a comment under this video, if you watch us on tv, vote by phone numbers, if you are satisfied with danilov's work as the secretary of the nsdc 0800 211 381, no 0800 211 382, all calls to these numbers are free, call, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, then we will be in touch with volodymyr tsibulko, political analyst, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth district of... mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you, that you are with us today, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. volodymyr, let's start with volodymyr zelenskyi's statement, which sounded in an interview with the cbs news channel, that the ukrainian president says that the ukrainian military managed to restrain the advance of the russian occupiers in winter, at the same time he admitted that the armed forces of ukraine are not ready for a major russian offensive, which can take place either in may or in... in june, what does this

statement by zelenskyi mean, and this statement is directed at the west or at the domestic consumer , in your opinion. well, strangely enough, this is a certain admission of, i would say, the dysfunctionality of the authorities, because when the authorities begin to admit that they are not ready to resist the enemy, it means that they are not working. let's see today, well, the other day the results of the work were made public of the accounting chamber of the ministry of defense, 60 billion hryvnias of non-targeted expenses, this is evidence that the authorities are not finalizing it, it is obvious that zelensky was counting on such a confession, after all, to persuade western partners to take pity on his team, not

to pressure the authorities , on the subject of anti-corruption activity, and silently help with weapons. unfortunately, for our western partners, because they are accountable to their constituents, handing over any resources to a government that is less than willing to fight corruption is risky. matter of fact, because sooner or later the voter will ask, and to whom do you give our money and resources, by the way, experts of the american institute for the study of war say that the russian army has captured 505 km since the beginning of... fire operations in october 23 the territory of ukraine, in particular, in the period from january 1 to march 28, 2024, the troops captured almost 100 km more territory than in the last 3 months of 23. such rates

of advancement may be connected with a combination of lack of equipment in ukraine and more favorable weather conditions, analysts note. well, it is clear that in... in this situation, there are a lot of questions for the congress of the united states of america and the help that we have been waiting for four months, i.e. 61 billion dollars for kona, and actually the americans cannot decide to open up to us this is funding, the lack of this money or this help, let's say this, not even money, what does this mean and how much does it affect... the mood of the russians to go on the offensive in may-june this year? well , look, let's start with the resignation of general zaluzhnyi first, and then 16 more generals, isn't this the encouragement of the russians

to the fact that ukraine is weakening, serious problems have appeared in ukraine, and at the moment when there is a rotation of the management troops, it is precisely the time for... offensive, next, let's see, with the united states, this a strange story in general, because, for example, more than 50%, even 60% of americans, supporters of both main american parties, support the struggle of ukraine. let's see, the latest poll shows that ukraine, the americans call ukraine their second ally in the world in case. attack on the united states, they believe that it is ukraine that will stand next to the united states, which means that the politicians in the white house, or rather, not in the white house, in the congress, are well aware of the sentiments of the americans in support of ukraine, but when they do not

vote and when they organize such maneuvers, they do not everything can be attributed only to the pre-election struggle, they still show... a certain certain skepticism about the managerial qualities of the ukrainian authorities, didn't we watch how, before the new year , the verkhovna rada dispatched a campaign landing party to the united states, at the very moment when there were no american politicians in the constituencies, and to be honest, the selection of characters who were supposed to convince american politicians that ukraine should be supported caused... well, not a certain skepticism and surprise, so not everything can be written off, not all the blame can be placed on the american congress, which is delaying aid, because along with the delaying

of aid by the american congress, european countries have now increased aid to ukraine to such an extent that they should try, well, not to introduce... the mana of at least european partners to work honestly, but when we look, for example, at the draft laws introduced, carried by some representatives of the authorities, it causes... simply, well , surprise, because these legislative initiatives create the image of ukraine as somewhat of a, well, i would say too young democracy. mr. volodymyr, and actually, you mentioned zaluzhnyi, for the first time in the last one and a half months , syrsky gave an interview to the ukrainian media, general syrsky in an interview with ukrinform, he said. that 500,000 people

were going to be mobilized in 2024, that such the number of people is not needed , he cannot name the exact number, but he literally says the following, i quote: after reviewing our internal resources and clarifying the combat composition of the armed forces, this number has been significantly reduced, we expect that we will have enough people capable of defending. homeland, it is not only about the mobilized, but also about volunteers. in the same interview, syrsky said that he and zaluzhny were and remain, were part of the team, and he does not discuss zelenskyi's decision, because he is a military man, the commander-in-chief made a decision on the release of the volunteer, and he accepted it, but this is a story about mobilization, about 500,000 ukrainians, well, a test of volunteerism. i never mentioned this number, that is , zelenskyy mentioned this number publicly, he said that

the military wants 500,000 ukrainians to be mobilized, but i am against it, given the history that is currently taking place around the mobilization law, why your opinion, zelensky does not assume a decisive role, because his words, his positions, his a speech... before the verkhovna rada would probably be enough for the verkhovna rada to make the right and timely decisions and not drag out this bill for four months, like the congress of the united states of america. well, in general, the story is very strange, because the behavior itself is, well, i would say fronderian on the part of the servant of the people party, fronderian in the direction of the bank, and so on. such active self-removal from contact with the verkhovna rada on

the part of zelenskyi creates a strange situation when neither the servant of the people party nor zelenskyi count on each other, in the event of the end of the war and a new election campaign. the impression is that zelensky does not see support for himself in this party, if he... is going to be elected for a second term, then it is unlikely that he will build headquarters on the basis of this party apparatus, the party itself does not count on zelensky now, therefore who perfectly understands that zelensky's popularity is not as high as even er, well, in an indirect way, they try to impose an opinion about er through the level of trust. avoiding direct electoral rating, because it is essentially impossible

to establish it now, but the game is being played to determine who will be more important at the finish line, because now there is a question about this, the case of may 20, further on, the council itself, which because of that , that she cannot... hold re-elections, the council suddenly removed itself, and it looks very strange, because in fact, the stay, well, for five and a half years of the supreme ninth convocation, it projects an equally low the functional capacity of the bank, the bank was also sewn up, and impressions such that we have an administrative collapse, more that in a situation where we really need western help, after all, western partners

would like to see a host with whom they can negotiate, with whom they can talk, here, when the ukrainian authorities swear in their eyes, that she will carry out what, everything, that was agreed upon, then turns around and acts at her discretion, and there is no extreme under these circumstances, it is very, very bad, that is, in essence, we have it... that management dysfunction is total both in the council and in the cabinet of ministers and well , the cabinet of ministers simply gives less voice, he he in the shadow of banking, but this... is also evidence that the constitutional model of state management has been destroyed in the country, and unfortunately, it is unlikely to be possible to restore the constitutional system under the current composition of the verkhovna rada, under the current president. against this background, mr. volodymyr, there was a rotation in the power

unit, another rotation, since this rotation began on february 8 or february 7, well, actually , about... the secretary of the nsdc danilov left for another job, that is, he was fired, oleksandr lytvynenko came in his place , but zelenskyi now says that the work is beginning of the updated national security and defense council, and he named five tasks of the nsdc, the first is to strengthen ukraine's ability to predict and influence the processes on which the national security of the state depends, the second is to continue the implementation of all current tasks and pay particular attention to the sanctions policy. third, dr. work, the clarity of national guidelines and the systematic implementation of them, further cyber security and information , it is necessary to do more to protect against hostile destabilizing operations and the coordination of all state institutions in this sphere, and the work of the rate, projects of decisions, control over the implementation of decisions, the priority is the defense of the state and the protection of society, well

, let's listen to what volodymyr zelensky himself said about this? the nsbu has all the opportunities to combine the analytical potential of ukrainian intelligence and other bodies that function in the field of national security, we need to strengthen ukraine's ability to predict and influence the processes on which the national security of our state depends. well, actually, mr. volodymyr, the nsdc, as a control center, probably such, the largest control center. probably was under the president kuchma, that is , when volodymyr horbuli was in charge of the nsdc, and probably the nsdc during the time of turchynov under poroshenko, that is, are these all the tasks that zelensky is now articulating, or are they the same

as what the national security council should be doing and of defense, especially the secretary of the national security council is the secretary of the chairman of the national security council, and the chairman? the nsdc is president zelenskyi, well, it is worth reminding that the head of the nsdc is the president, so the second secretary deals with the technical function, he organizer, and, by the way, in the system of the state hierarchy, he is somewhat higher than the head of the office, but it seems to me that this replacement, it was made so that the head of the office remained the vice president, secondly, in relation to litvyanenko himself on ... let me remind you that litvenenko, he has been working at the nsdc since its creation, when academician gorbulin brought him along as his assistant. let me remind you that lytvynenko is the co-author of many of horbulin's books, and there was also general bilov, in my opinion, they, in three, created one of the books, horbulin, lytvynenko bilov,

therefore, it can be said that lytvynenko... is not yet a new person, he was even turchynov's deputy for a while, he has been there for a long time, but during this time from academician gurbulin to the current state, the nsdc lost several specialized security institutes that dealt with issues, for example , external, external security, well, that is, these institutes were shortened, in the end all this security work was reduced to only... the national institute of strategic studies, which was also headed by lytvynenko, who for some time, and after in fact, he always prepares annual notes and messages for the president, so we can say that in terms of such an analytical bureaucracy

, lytvynenko will really do the nsdc. a quiet advisory body based on the model of, well, it really could be academician horbulin, only litvyanenko is not the right format, that is, he, he himself is not a visionary like horbulin, and secondly, it seems to me that danilov has closed himself up after all with sanctions equipment, because some sanctioned toys of the national security service of ukraine, they were rather... raiding rather than protection of national interests, when western partners were surprised to discover that a set of sanctions against certain persons'. which were accepted in the united states, in europe, were suddenly ignored in ukraine, that is, ukraine does not reach the level of its western partners in sanctions pressure on

russia in the first place. well, we recall that danilo was one of the actual implementers of pressure on medvedchuk , sanctioning, but at the same time, for example, there were... with the participation of the nsdc , markets were redistributed, in particular, the gaming industry became, in fact, reformatted thanks to the nsdc , and i want to remind you that it is a game the industry did not pay uah 23 billion in taxes to the budget, but the nsdc did not get their hands on this game industry, it turns out that money was laundered because of it. stolen money, including that of the ministry of defense. mr. volodymyr, how do you assess the prospects of mr. danilov's diplomatic future.

today there was information that he could be the ambassador of ukraine to moldova, i don't know how true this is, because a few days ago they said that he would fly to norway. well, in general, the practice of announcement sent, when, even if agriman was not received, it is essentially, well... so to speak, disrespect for the country that should receive the ambassador recommended by ukraine. well, moldova can eat this insult, so to speak. in general, since the first days of zelenskyi's election, kyiv behaved very rudely with moldova several times, although , let me remind you that after being elected , the first capital that she visited was kyiv. that's why moldova. it is very important for us now, because it is a transit country for us, and we, participants in fact, are of such a safe country scenario for moldova, because blocking the border

with transnistria, plus now successful actions at sea, we have actually created circumstances under which moldova will eventually be able to bring its stormy regions to ... standards thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation, it was volodymyr tsybulko, political expert, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us live on youtube, you can take participation in the survey, today we ask you about whether you are satisfied with danilov's work as the secretary of the national security council, yes, no, if you have a personal, special opinion, you can leave it in the comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, take dork smartphone or phone and vote, if you are satisfied with danilov's work 08021381,

no 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, call, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, then we will be in touch with roman tsimbalyuk, my colleague, journalist, ex vaskor unian in... in moscow. mr. roman, i congratulate you. thank you for being with us today. hello, serhiy, congratulations. let me remind you that roman tsympaliuk has a powerful youtube channel. if you are not yet subscribed to this youtube channel, join. roman already has 1,190,000 viewers. i think there will be more. roman, let's start with the orthodox jihad announced by patriarch kirill gundyaev at the so -called, ee. to the universal russian people's council, and there at this council an order was passed, and this order sounds

that the entire territory of modern ukraine should enter to russia's zone of exclusive influence, and russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine has been called a holy war. i will quote this document. from a spiritual and moral point of view, a special military operation is a holy war in which russia... its people, protecting the single spiritual space of holy russia, perform the mission of a deterrent, protecting the world from the onslaught of globalism and the victory of the west, which has fallen into satanism. well, gundyaev himself said that this order is aimed at strengthening and developing the so-called russian peace, at the same time denying it openly and frankly national character. let's hear what he said. the main task of these orders, like the long-term activity of the entire world russian people's council, is to protect and strengthen the russian world, divide and weaken the russian people, and deprive

them of their spirit. century, and let no one frighten us with russian nationalism, russian nationalism does not exist in nature, everyone knows this, but everyone knows that... schism and russian fascism, how do you perceive what gundyaev says and this is the flag of the holy war, we are going to ukraine, because there are those satanists, of the obstacles that must be overcome, the translator must be careful that russian peace must be translated into ukrainian, russian peace, because these are two big differences between the words russian and

русский. because the russian nazis are speculating on this very thing. then i looked very carefully at gundyaev, at this chief moskovskii pope, and especially i looked at him here and there on his shoulders, here and there, and it seemed to me that there, after all, here they finally stepped on those fsb epaulettes. it is clear that these are no longer colonels, but obviously colonel-generals, but in general, we must say to these moscow popes that they are well done, they burned. this office, this once again confirms that there cannot be any moscow popes and their representatives in ukraine, and here is the attention, and what they did, in fact, strangely enough, will benefit us, the fact that they use their comrades in cassocks in the interests of russian intelligence and the russian warrior state, here, well, most of us already understand, but what they did before...

the document and said that war is very cool. now we can to such figures as tucker carlson, who very much likes to reflect on the oppression here on the grounds of faith and so on, to say: look, tucker and friends are friends who were brainwashed by the russians, they are terrorists, they are war criminals, and this story, it has nothing to do with trust . there is no god, and on the other hand , what the moscow pope, kirill , said about the crisis in russia is very good, they should get used to this word, i heard a phrase here today that if you want to find the answer, what awaits us , look into the future, oh, look into the past, well, at the russian federa, v in the russian federation, they have everything one in one, and that is why russian... zm it does exist, only it

is too precisely and involved in all these fascist ideas, so us doing our own thing will not make a big new difference from the moscow priests, i am the only one that we brought this topic up now, i remembered the movie that aired on the tv channel russia-1, don't ask why i watched it, but it talked about papaya. whose husband, that is, the moscow priest was destroyed, killed in ukraine, and among other things the following phrase sounded there, he was from the landing brigade of one of the landing brigades, and, among other things, the following phrase sounded there: " he has been going to donbas since 2014, well, actually , we collected all this and have it now..." and

the general for the general picture, and no one will be able to play the game anymore, and the moscow popes , they are there, but they are not there, they are for god’s sake at all, no, they serve hell, and we have seen this once again, well damn, what can be said here, in principle, and it is difficult to name these people in a different way here, in these clothes. but those who were recently associated with them, and now say that they are independent, are ukrainian the orthodox church, the moscow patriarchate, they say that this statement about the holy war contradicts the basic principles of christian morality and distanced themselves from the ideology of this russian world, that the ukrainian orthodox church does not support what is said in the statement of the ukrainian orthodox church.
