the enemy already this spring, we have nothing to do, mr. viktor, you and i have repeatedly assumed a high probability of mobilization by the enemy after the end of the so-called elections in the russian federation, but now we do not see this, does this mean that the existing models of personnel replenishment composition at the expense of a lot of money there or the transfer of these human resources from conscripts who are completing their service to... e contractees will be enough for this enemy, or should we still expect such more reactive actions from the enemy regarding the increase in numbers, which goes to the formation of new units and compensation for losses? now the system of manning the armed forces of the russian federation covers losses, but does not allow the deployment of operational and strategic reserves. there is some concern that the dismissal. 150,000 conscripts

will give the enemy 150,000 contract workers at once, this will not happen, although we should not rule out the possibility that most of this contingent may be forced to be on the front line, because someone signed the contracts retroactively with their left hand behind their legs, without mobilizing the enemy to form strategic reserves will not work. it seems that the russian minister of defense spoke about the size of these reserves a month ago, announcing the deployment of a new army of several divisions, without the simultaneous replenishment of a huge amount of weapons, combat equipment and appropriately trained personnel, well, all this is about nothing says, so i think that until... the end of spring

, the usual recruitment procedures will continue, the search for all kinds of volunteers who will be supplied to units to the front, but mobilization still cannot be avoided, the only question is when and how many people the enemy will call up. mr. victor, will the enemy use this effect of the terrorist attack in crocus for promotion. of internal mobilization or inciting passions, so that it was much easier to shave, relatively speaking, the army? tyract in crocus is a game of the russian special services, all this is aimed at increasing the unity of russian society in the face of some threat, and this threat, the united states, nato, ukraine, personally mr. budanov, there is someone else there, for the enemy.

it does not matter, he absolutely does not need any special reasons to announce and hold a mobilization, we are dealing with a dictatorship that does not consider it necessary to explain anything to its citizens, therefore one step will remain, there will still be 5-10 of them, there is no way to mobilize will not be reflected, and then i cannot ask about our realities, because some influential foreign experts, including mile kofman, who is well known to all of us, says that if ukraine does not solve personnel problems in its army, the coming months, then in the second half of the 24th year there are serious threats of the risks of a russian breakthrough there, he says that this is the first regular problem of the ukrainian army, then ammunition and fortifications, how do you assess such risks, do we have time and opportunities to deal with these threats?

mr. kofman, a senior researcher at the center for naval analysis, is primarily an expert on the russian armed forces, respectively, on post-soviet equipment systems, he is knowledgeable and understands well how it functions. statement about the lack of personnel in the defense forces is, in my opinion, absolutely correct. we are repeating the mistake of the struggle for the independence of the ukrainian people's republic at the beginning of the 20s of the last century. stability of defense, stand. the defense of ukraine is threatened by two shortages: a shortage of personnel and a shortage of ammunition, we have the opportunity to overcome both shortages, but nothing can be done without restarting the mobilization process. recruiting centers that are starting to open, gentle mobilization, audit of the armed forces, will not solve problems of a sharp increase in the number of troops. the state avoids hard coercion, having in its own. order, the only

effective tool is coercion, so , unfortunately, if this view is not changed, we will have a very big... problem in the event that the enemy starts large-scale military operations in the second half of this year. what time window of opportunity do we have to make the mobilization work more effectively. this should have been done at the end of last year. we hoped that the law would be quick adopted, but the norms prescribed in this law are not radically changed. absolutely nothing, so let’s adopt it in some new format, will we get another 45 amendments, now there is a system of mobilization, there is a regulatory legal framework that prevents implementation and putting

at least 300,00 people under arms, i honestly don’t understand, i think that this is not someone's desire, drop the rating and win. unpopularity with an unpopular step, but if by the end of spring we do not mobilize and begin the stage of training units, we will have a very big problems mr. viktor, thank you very much for these comments, for these clear accents about our reality, and i will remind our viewers that this was viktor kevlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies. these were the main emphasis of the military. bags of the day, more international and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to espresso channel. thanks to serhiy zgorets, thanks to his

guest, these were the military results of the day, we continue, the second hour of the great ether, a lot of interesting and important information ahead, now we start with the most important news at this hour, the occupation. fired at the residential sector of kupyansk, a large-scale fire broke out on the spot, a large-scale fire broke out on the spot , the state emergency service was notified , the flames covered almost 300 km, one of the buildings was completely on fire. the rescuers managed to eliminate the fire, fortunately there were no victims or victims in this situation. three-hour and maximum specific meeting on drones, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi. communicated with military and government officials on the provision of the defense-industrial complex of ukraine, discussed the simplification of the procedure for importing and purchasing drone shells and detailed the production plan for the current year, also analyzed the project for the construction of a complex complex radio electronic

warfare system, which is currently being tested in certain areas of the front, also stopped at to make our defense industry flexible, because the needs of the front are constantly changing, - noted the head of the ukrainian state, and our manufacturers must respond to all changes in a timely manner. officially from authorities of the special services of russia intensified the collection of personal data of captured and missing ukrainians. to do this , they create telegram channels where they promise to find military personnel and extract all information from relatives, inform the coordination headquarters about the treatment of prisoners of war. in order not to harm loved ones, the headquarters urges. do not give strangers phone numbers, addresses, information about political views, profiles in social networks and the location of the unit. ukrainian communities have grown significantly

sustainable thanks to the decentralization reform, however, it is not yet complete and needs constant improvement. the biggest challenge today is the financial capacity of the budget in ukraine. communities is filled thanks to local taxes, no more than 25%. in the countries of the european union, this indicator reaches 40%, by involving self-government bodies in the administration of local taxes, communities will be able to better cope with the difficult post-war situation. we have communities, i'm sorry, if someone disagrees with me here, i think they haven't learned yet good sense and legal sense for... money, many have learned in other ways, but from the point of view of the very understanding that you are not just a mayor, not just a political figure, but you run the community itself, and you have to see it completely literally as a business case that should work for the benefit of residents, it is not

everywhere, and these skills, these are specific tools, i also do not get tired of telling partners who do not believe when i say that we would have local taxes. but no one sees them. the fate of the traitor in the temporarily occupied a car with a collaborator was blown up in starobilska, luhansk region. previously, it was the so-called deputy head of the service center. educational organizations of the pseudo-republic, actually a terrorist organization of the lpr, valery chaika. according to russian media, an improvised explosive device detonated in the car, and the collaborator died on the spot. eight, eight dead and two injured in russia, in the yaroslavl region , a regular bus collided with a high-speed train, it just happened at a railway crossing, the local authorities reported previous the cause of the accident was that the bus broke down and stopped on its wheels, its driver and all passengers were killed, and the driver was also injured. and again

something is on fire in russia, the multidisciplinary electrical engineering company elektroizolit is on fire in the suburbs of moscow. according to the russian ministry of emergency situations, the fire covered 150 m2 , four people have already been evacuated from the building, the consequences of the fire are currently being determined. the ukrainian flag was raised over the positions of the russian occupiers, border guards from the phoenix unit raised a blue-yellow flag with the help of a drone near bakhmut, the state border service of ukraine reported. they prepared for the operation for almost two days, the water tower between kurdyumivka and ozaryanivka serves as a yard. this is the flag of our unit, we decided to mark it somehow. a section in the enemy's territory, they chose a time just as the enemy was the least alert, brought it in, set it for them, it is

a high object, they are visible both from our positions and from the enemy's stylistic positions, it is visible from afar, and our neighbors can see it, the enemy is now very surprised, now they are looking for how it happened, went to italy and took uah 5 million, ex the wife of a military serviceman receives monthly payments from the state for raising a common child, and according to the defender's mother, the woman has not been providing for her minor son for a long time, which turned into two years of litigation by the family of the fallen hero from lviv region, kateryna oliynyk will tell. he dreams of becoming a soldier and practices boxing. 15-year-old oleksandr sherban lives in the old city of sambir in the lviv region. the teenager's father, serhii shcherban, died in march 2020. the second year , during a combat mission, the president of ukraine posthumously awarded the

scout sniper with the order for courage of the third degree. we always sat on that couch playing playstation, the two of us played there, fooled around, talked, and something else. dad was always on the job, my grandmother was with me most of the time, and i always know how old i am. olga krakalo, sashka's grandmother, talks about her son's funeral with tears in her eyes, says that she still hasn't come to terms with his death. often goes to the grave to talk to him: my sister still calls me, my sincere condolences to my sister, i fall on the floor, scream, my grandson too, i understand what happened irreparable, i lost the most valuable thing, it turns out that my child died on the 17th, when he was no longer in touch, as evidenced by the documents. when sashkov was a little over a year old, his mother, that is, serhiy's ex-wife, left the family and moved abroad with another man.

the boy spent his entire childhood with his grandmother and father. however , immediately after the funeral , sashka's mother returned to ukraine to receive compensation from the state and a survivor's pension, - says olga krakavo. she writes to her grandson, that she took a house on credit, she took furniture on credit, the car has not yet been paid off, and here you have freebies, money, but you don't have that money. and the payments for the child of the deceased hero do not go to sashka . out of uah 5 million, the boy did not receive a single penny, and from uah 180,00, the mother transferred only uah 50,000 to her son’s bank card, and she can drop a couple of uah 100-200 there from time to time, i do not support the no ties. olga krakalo decided to fight for her grandson's future, so that the child would have a separate card, so that he would have a pension and paternity benefits, because then it is not my mother's merit, and no one

should dispose of that money, so that it would be as if he were provided for, because i am not eternal. in april 2022, mrs. olga turned to the body of guardianship and care of the starosambir city council, there they checked the situation and established that the mother really did not take care of her son for many years in order to get rid of him. the woman's parental rights to sashka, the grandmother sued, even on such elementary issues, there the mother did not know about the child's vaccinations, no, who took him to the first grade, she did not know about class teachers, well, i wasn't interested, that 's all, it was all discussed and discussed at the commission meeting. in june 2023 , the sambir city and district court refused to deprive sashko's mother of parental rights. in four months, the lviv court of appeal overturned the previous decision and deprived the mother of her rights to the child. however, the grandmother did not have time

to formalize guardianship, as the supreme court annulled the decision of the court of appeal. the case was considered only. based on written evidence. the decision of the court of cassation was upheld effective from february 7, 2024 is final and not subject to appeal. that is, the mother is currently the legal representative of her minor son. we tried to contact oleksandr's mother, but the woman did not respond to messages and calls. meanwhile, young oleksandr is received by his grandmother for her small pension. the family is looking for caring law enforcement officers. or activists who can help in this fight. kateryna oliynyk, volodymyr studenny, espresso tv channel. for more interesting and up-to-date information, visit the espresso tv website and on our social networks, and also look for espresso on youtube and be sure to subscribe, because there are live broadcasts of ateru, all program releases and special projects that you can only see

military personnel in shansy on the territory of ukraine, they will not participate in hostilities. about it in the interview. estonian defense minister hanno pevkor told the german news agency die presse that this is how he commented on french president emmanuel macron's statement a month ago that one should not rule out the possibility that soldiers from western countries will appear in ukraine at some point. at the same time , the head of the estonian defense ministry said that some categories of western servicemen are already present in our country, but he explained what he meant - hanno pevkor's quote is real. such that each a nato member country already has military personnel in ukraine, such as military attachés, or people who travel to ukraine from time to time. well, let me remind you that two weeks ago the prime minister of estonia, kaia kalas , said: "well, we should not rule out the possibility that at some point in time

western military personnel may appear on the territory of ukraine. and by the way , and in finland the same way..." believe the prime minister of finland, alina valtonen , also said in an interview with the financial times that she does not rule out that this could happen, that they not just will be, but also, meaning western military personnel, but can also take part in hostilities, according to her, now there is no need for this and it is not even worth talking about it, but in the long term, says minister kavalyn, such should not be excluded. i'm just putting it here, you know, it's really very good that there are intelligent people who say things that many people in europe don't like, that's why you 're right, i remember the comment of the minister, the prime minister of poland, who spoke with the prime minister of spain, who said that in spain really does not want to hear the word war, because it is some kind of threat, well, we have to talk about it, ukraine is resource-wise, unfortunately, much smaller than russia, it may happen that foreign troops

will be, well, that is, just like the us troops landed in normandy, at the beginning of the war, i think, well, no one in europe thought about it, and yes... it happened, well, there were objective reasons for this, therefore 100%, it is necessary to talk about it and not to be silent and not necessary to talk about the fact that it is somewhere far away and generally for us spaniards or us portuguese does not threaten at all, nothing is known about russia, who can be threatened. china can and should influence russia in order to quickly end its war of aggression in ukraine, french foreign minister stephane seshournet said. during a joint press conference with his chinese counterpart wang, and for this, says the main french diplomat, official beijing must send clear signals to moscow, according to mr. sejourne, there will be no peace in europe if there is no peace in ukraine, well then quote from the french minister of foreign affairs. we are convinced that there will be no lasting peace if it is not discussed with ukrainians, there will be no

security for europeans if there is no peaceful settlement in accordance with international law. well, let's listen to the minister directly, as france offers china to influence russia. i would also like to express surbo. france in connection with north korea's supply of ballistic missiles to russia and identical accusations against iran. this indicates a significant escalation of the conflict. on the full sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine is at stake, as i said, the stability of the international order is also at risk. well, will this train finally move? speaker of the house of representatives of the united states of america mike. johnson will vote on the draft law on the allocation of additional aid to ukraine at the meeting on april 9. he said this on the air of

the sunday night in america with trey cordy program on the fox news channel. according to him, the vote will take place immediately after as american lawmakers get back to work after the easter break. mr. speaker reiterated that there must be a bipartisan consensus to... to make a decision, but mr. johnson added that the bill he is going to put to the vote will include quote: some possible innovations. well, vasyl and i will talk about these possible innovations and much more with a guest who joins us on the air, whom i am always glad to welcome here, this is oleksandr krayev, an expert of the ukrainian foreign policy council prism. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, mr. oleksandr, maybe you know what some of these innovations are? if we refer to what johnson previously said and what

his team said, then most likely the same project of johnson mccall, which was previously announced as the so-called compromise republican option of sponsoring ukraine, is meant. in fact, it is an interest-free open-ended loan with elements of a loan lease, that is, when johnson. announced it beforehand there was no certainty, because he did not flirt with the topic, which was said by lynsey graham, that ukraine will have to pay only for what ukraine wants to leave, but he also said directly what trump had repeated before, that that it will still be a loan, but it will be without a clear payment period , and it will be interest-free, so ukraine will be able to pay it systematically and as it is convenient for it, that is, having confused us at the very beginning, johnson does not provide much clarity yet . but it is obvious that he wants to appropriate, relatively speaking, for himself and for his party , he authored this aid package for ukraine, departing from the initial option

proposed by joseph biden. well, mr. oleksandr, please tell me, and before that , for example, if it will be an interest-free loan, can others, for example, groups in the american congress tie up still frozen russian assets and say: okay, we agree to your offer, but let's ukraine. will pay with these, first with interest on these frozen assets, and then with frozen assets? in fact, such a topic was also discussed, but a part of the democratic party said that it would be too strong a departure from the previous strategy, because the previous strategy was that this money would go to the reconstruction of ukraine, that is, aid with weapons is something that we do not have, they say democrats, to submit as a loan, but in the plan of restoration, in the plan of restoration of ukraine, these should be investments for which we should receive funds. for which we should receive some benefits, and therefore we should aim for the fact that the russian frozen assets will go precisely to to help ukraine recover from

this war, although no one has yet rejected the idea that indeed these funds can be used not only for reconstruction, but also for weapons, so as you can see, here as in the johnson situation, these options remain on the table , and in the end, which of them will be used, it is difficult to say. the only thing we can say for sure right now is that... this process has really moved, at least we're seeing a bipartisan interest in seeing this finally resolved somehow, and now it's just a question of what the end of it really is. there will be a procedure, it is obvious that it will be rather a republican scenario, i.e. either lendlis, or a loan, or some other format, and with regard to russian money, there is no certainty here, but clearly no one rejects the fact that at least interest is what is earned on these russian assets, because they still continue to work, it can be directed. to pay for this so-called loan, well, i understand from your comment that they will still vote if he puts it to a vote, i mean speaker mike johnson, but

the question is different, but will they... vote, taking into account the fact that, well, that is, will mike johnson stay in his chair, in the speaker's chair, until april 9? that 's actually the biggest question, because it's hard to get it off before april 9 because they're on vacation and it's just procedurally impossible to get it out of session, but we've got margery taylor green, who's already worried about filing a motion of no confidence in johnson, and the problem here is procedural, if she puts it as the first item on the agenda, then the entire agenda is nullified and until... until vote of no confidence, essentially nothing else will happen in the house of representatives, and if mike johnson is removed, then until a new speaker is elected, the house of representatives cannot do anything else at all, so the only unknown unit in this equation of ours is that , what is trump's attitude to these johnson initiatives. previously, he was accused of saying that if he compromises with the democrats, then he is not a real trumpist, but on the other hand

, we see that in recent weeks... trump is more favorable to helping ukraine and says that if they say, ukraine got more angry with him, and therefore to clearly understand trump, well, you and i know very well that it is impossible, and that is why it remains an event for us until the 9th. well, look, now let’s combine johnson and trump again, and what violin does johnson play in this orchestra anyway, does he play the double bass there, well, i don’t know, well, what does he play, if you say that trump can't quite even influence johnson or not... understand that johnson walks wants to yes used to be considered absolute argued that johnson is simply trump's speaker, that he is essentially his protege, his puppet, through which trump can run the house of representatives, but as soon as johnson began to come up with his own budget proposals, as soon as it became clear that he was going to internal negotiations with the white house, that in principle he is looking for a certain compromise, even at a time when

trump did not talk about such a compromise. well, he had certain rudiments of an individual policy. it became obvious what he saw in johnson there are certain prospects that he can be removed by his own party members, trumpists themselves are rolling the barrel against him. and therefore, being a more balanced, more prudent politician, he began to look for alternative sources of support. and at the moment, here is the key thesis that sounds around the congressional expert group, and that johnson is looking for the support of the democrats at the expense of a compromise with the white house. which will save him from a vote of no confidence, and therefore, in fact, this is the individual politics of jones, he wants to see in himself the political future is beyond trump, and so he is playing it safe. and tell me, please, if this decision is adopted, can it be estimated that it will add electoral points to biden or not? that is, it can be considered his victory or not? in

an adequate information space. will not give him electoral points, because he supported the ukrainian issue for a long time, he is currently the current president, a decision was made under his administration, the white house became part of this consensus, he conducted negotiations, he made concessions on issues border, he made concessions on the issues of israel to taiwan, that is, he did everything possible to ensure that this decision was made and that this decision was positive for ukraine and positive for the states, so the biden team will obviously write this down, but... in the modern realities of american politics, at the same time, of course, the republicans will say that, you see, biden just wanted to give our money to the ukrainians, and we made it so that it was a loan, a loan lease, anything else, we saved us from such losses and only thanks to the republican party, only thanks to donald trump, this budget was able to be made as profitable and as correct as it is, that is, one way or another, but each side of this compromise will twist this steering wheel

of information policy to their ... side and everyone will try to take credit these merits as quickly as possible. well, again, referring to what you answer, how you comment, that is, it should not be denied that under trump, when he was in the white house, aid to ukraine went, so the question is whether or not too much we are in in ukraine, we are now demonizing trump, expecting that he can win the elections, i mean with reference to helping ukraine. you know, the key problem with trump is not. only and not only his position on ukraine, because it is really changing, we see a completely different trump. the problem is that trump in 2024 is not even trump in 2016. now , against the background of all the lawsuits, against the background of all his very sharp statements about the ministry of justice, and about press censorship, and about changing the supreme court, and about changing the status of the president in general, and regarding in principle the revision of the constitution, the revision of the american social contract.
