vitaliy portnikov's saturday program is on the air on the espresso tv channel. this time we will talk about the situation at the front at the very beginning, then we will touch on the issue of international politics, in particular, the prospects of providing us with help from the united states. and, of course , about what is happening as close as possible in the east, as well as in the muslim world in general. in the second part of our conversation, as always, a dialogue with vitaly. portnikov, and now we are happy to welcome our guest, now we will wait until they connect us, before that, of course, it is very important to talk about what is basically happening now with this whole process, because we have a veteran of the foreign intelligence service , general vasyl bohdan in touch, congratulations, mr. vasyl, hello, congratulations, glory to ukraine, congratulations to you, glory to the heroes, so let's talk first about what is happening with news from russia, why do you think

the russian special services are so stubbornly trying to accuse ukraine of involvement in a terrorist act, when there is absolutely no, so to speak, even the slightest proof that there should be a trace of kyiv here. there are many versions, conversations, and assessments about this. assumptions , but in view of how the events developed on the eve of the alarm and how they are assessed now by various parties, and what are the consequences of this situation, and what, in our opinion, was invested by the putin regime in this terrorist act, it is clear and obvious, in my opinion, and not just. despite all those warnings from great britain and the united states of america,

the russian side about the possibility and probability of committing relevant terrorist actions, and moreover, in relevant places such as entertainment centers, mass gatherings of people and so on and so forth, the means of ensuring public safety and state security were not and were not determined to introduce in moscow and other leading cities of the russian federation, the appropriate security regime, passport regime and everything else, and especially in the places where these ee events are held, to strengthen physical, technical and... other security in order to prevent what was expected,

as we see, nothing of the kind was done, therefore, in my opinion, the version has the right to live and that if the so-called idil planned such an action and apparently carried it out, then the inaction of the kremlin and the special services and police structures of the russian federation gives grounds to claim that the kremlin used this situation deliberately in order to intimidate russian society once, strengthen mobilization resource in russia itself, and secondly, to accuse the ukrainian side that this terrorist act was carried out on its initiative, with its intentions and plans in order to turn the situation upside down: to make the aggressor the victim, and the victim to make the aggressor, and as we observe now, this situation

continues, and in the statement of the head of the fsb, bortnik... and there is this mustachioed margin piskov, well, putin himself said somewhere after the election campaign that, well, the tracks lead there, because they seemed to be moving there these terrorists unequivocally, both the leading countries of the world and the ukrainian side declared that we have absolutely nothing to do with this, and all these actions were smeared. and carried out by the kremlin for what i said above, well, now there are signals that not only this group of people were there, but also some other suspicious people who shot, then they disappeared, then there already somewhere on videos revealed fsb employees and so on and so on, all this

gives full grounds for blaming first of all the kremlin and... putin's regime for what he allowed, intentionally allowed such human sacrifices in this entertainment crocus, and certainly the vast majority of people who suffered were not responsible for anything, and in this regard , we can definitely express our condolences to those russians who lost their relatives, relatives, acquaintances and everything else, that's why they are talking about this topic. but they will continue, but i am somehow sure that this wave is already subsiding, because there was information that putin's close entourage is constantly telling him that ukraine there is no connection, but you need to know putin, his stubbornness, his kgb, fsb,

attitude to the fact that if it is determined that this is an enemy, then he... will be an enemy to the end and everything must be done so that in the information, yes so to speak, they constantly talked about it in the domestic and international spheres. mr. vasyl, in your opinion, what did the head of the foreign intelligence service of the russian federation, serhiy naryshkin, forget or do for 3 days in north korea, what could he discuss with the minister of state security of the dprk, lee chande. about what amplification is possible. on can we talk about cooperation between moscow and pyongyang? well, we know with you about the existence of such a kremlin axis of evil, which includes the russian federation, iran, north korea, and now we can talk about the very slippery and uncertain position of china, including

china, well, i do not say already for syria and everything else, so definitely. that regardless of any statements that russia has begun to release such and such aerial bombs there, there are 150 and more, 1500 kg, and 300 kg and so on and so on, there is information that gives reasons to assert that the russian federation has problems with artillery ammunition, there are problems with the corresponding... er category of missiles, which they do have, but those large-scale plans that the kremlin is carrying out regarding the impression of the relevant objects of the critical infrastructure of ukraine , they cannot be realized only at the expense of their own capabilities, i.e. the capabilities of the defense-industrial complex

of the russian federation, therefore definitely naryshkin's mission, it consists in that through... first, through the channels of the special services and the russian federation and north korea to coordinate the delivery channels of these weapons and military equipment, because you know, certain sanctions are already in place, including around the same north korea, and in the maritime space, and in the ocean and all the rest, well and definitely agree shares. regarding the strengthening of the informational component regarding ukraine, regarding the fact that through the capabilities of the same, the same north korea. to strengthen the supply of these weapons, and to use the opportunities that korea has through china and through some other autocratic regimes

global rooster, therefore it is certain that the action is clearly of a military nature, this action also has the character of coordination of some intelligence operations with the aim of achieving a common goal, coordination. certain actions, reconnaissance of these countries in order to solve those issues that concern putin himself, well, what too , ugh, but tell me, please, mr. vasyl, you know that now the heads of the russian special services are threatening the heads of the ukrainian ones, as far as we can tell now that we are aware of the seriousness of these threats to heads of the country's political and intelligence community. well, you know, one of our politicians spoke out to the effect that if there are such threats, there are violations of criminal proceedings and so on, then

this is an award for our leaders of special services, it means they have found the enemy, it means they are acting correctly and so on. as for the threats, they have existed for a long time since the 14th year, from the time when... crimea was annexed, then the hostilities in donbas, we know that there are victims from the number and the leadership, including ee military intelligence and the security service of ukraine, and there was information that individual terrorist actions against the head of military intelligence and... the head of our state were stopped, and that the special services of the russian federation have such intentions, and these intentions

are produced, of course, by the kremlin, that that such a threat, such risks exist, this is clear, and definitely, in connection with this , security measures must be strengthened in the very structures of all intelligence agencies and special agencies. of ukraine, i mean here the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, and sbu, and er, special development of special operations forces, because these are objects of priority agent penetration with the aim of obtaining reliable objective information about the plans and intentions of our state in the course of repelling large-scale armed aggression of the russian federation, therefore... yes , this is the case, yes, the russian special services have such plans, and yes, our respective structures must take appropriate measures,

regarding their own safety, and regarding the safety of relevant political and government figures who are also in the field of view russian special services. mr. vasyl, please tell me, now there is a lot of information and international... in particular, analysts wrote about it in the economist the times, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said about it in an interview with cbs, and everything indicates that russia can preparing for a large, broad offensive, in the near future, do we have any objective data from your point of view, in particular, that would indicate such preparations right now, you know, i'll... i'll allow myself to express myself in this regard, that in fact , this is an interview, to the publication that you are now

announced, president zelensky conducted a fairly successful and powerful information operation, aimed firstly at disinforming and deterring russia, and secondly, at powerfully motivating our partners to mobilize en masse. comprehensive, military , financial, economic and political-diplomatic support of ukraine, at this time when ukraine is in difficult conditions at the front, restrains the front with all its might, destabilizes it to some extent and does not allow the enemy to deploy what he wants, this first of all, war is war, and it is clear that each side is planning something she... also wants the fact that there were expected offensive actions of the enemy in the winter and spring period, this was also predicted and

appropriate measures were taken. measures, the question is how effective they were, but in this regard it is necessary to talk about effectiveness in the context of how much we got what we needed and how quickly, concretely and substantively our partners acted on the issues that ukraine voiced in the process of these partnership negotiations, therefore it is certain that there are such... plans in russia, and the question is to another, to what extent russia is able to implement them, because here it is not just about ukraine, there are already conversations about where putin will go next, how much he can threaten the baltic republics, the same poland, europe as a whole, and the world in general, and in this regard, i say that

putin has great opportunities. to launch a large-scale offensive in the spring-summer or summer-autumn period, he does not have such opportunities yet, and it is unlikely that he will be able to prepare them within three or four months, that contingent is somewhere over 400 tysia, which is in ukraine, is occupied, although it works in the vast majority, but there are problems with armored vehicles. there are certain problems with combat and morale-psychological constants , they are ending as soon as their offensive was actually stopped in the east, our military and our politicians are talking about it, the question of how quickly they will be able to restore it, mr. vasyl, i cannot help but ask, and please answer briefly, we have seen a number of

personnel rotations in our country. this week , the head of the foreign intelligence service, mr lytvynenko becomes the secretary of the national security council, his place in the szr is replaced by a person with hurivsky's past. mr. ivashchenko, how do you evaluate these personnel rotations? short. you know, i would n't spread any conspiracy theories about this, solving personnel issues of this level is within the competence. president and he is also the commander-in-chief, as far as the foreign intelligence service of ukraine is concerned, i can only say that those people who know ivashchenko characterize him very positively, he is a staff military intelligence officer, and this is a universal position, i will tell you, if a person works in military intelligence, he knows

forms and methods and yes. techniques of intelligence activity, which are commensurate and similar to the same forms, methods and tactical techniques of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine. as you know, there is a joint law on the intelligence agencies of ukraine, which specifically refers to the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, military intelligence, the intelligence department of the border state service, and intelligence. special development of special operations forces, so i do not see in this any actions aimed at weakening the issues that concern state national security, but of course time will tell how timely, effective and useful these personnel decisions were, thank you, vasyl bohdan, veteran of the foreign intelligence service, lieutenant general was in touch with us, we have a short break,
