calls these numbers are free, vote at the end of the program, we will tally up the results. voting, i would like to introduce today's first guest, serhiy kryvonos, reserve major general, first deputy commander of the sso in 2016-19, deputy secretary of the nsdc in 2019-20. mr. general, i welcome you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. general, let's start our conversation with the ukrainian attack. of the defense forces at the military airfield in dzhankoy on the night of april 17 in the temporarily occupied crimea, explosions rang out, three s-400 launchers and a radar were destroyed, according to preliminary data, 22 occupiers went missing, a point for receiving and repairing

military equipment was also damaged, according to preliminary data according to information, the strike was carried out by two tactical ballistic missiles. atakams so, mr. general, what do these blows mean? in ukraine, there are more opportunities to strike on the territory of the occupied crimea, or is this, so to speak, planned work to destroy the occupiers on the peninsula? we understand that every missile that we currently have in our stockpile, in our arsenals, is quite valuable and expensive. therefore, choose from a huge number of goals that we have. task number one is to make the most efficient use of these missiles, so that we don't forget the nails with a microscope, that's why this is planned work, it's a very wonderful work, we wanted it to continue not only on the territory of the occupied crimea, but also the destruction of a huge number of objects on the territory of the russian federation. this is task number

one, we still have a window of opportunity, the more factories we destroy that manufacture weapons against...ukraine, the less the russians will be able to strike at our territories, as was the case today directly with the example of chernihiv. yes, very much a tragic story with iskanders who flew around the city and killed civilians. but i would like this information that we see on ukrainian television, uh, today, during the day and tomorrow, to be on all world channels. this is what we need to talk about, unfortunately, the lack of normal strategic communication with our western partners leads to the fact that israel reacts brightly, clearly and quickly to any threats, shows the consequences of these threats, shows how they work, and support, we we see how powerful the support is the same israel our government does not like it when the actions of the israeli government are now compared with the actions

of the ukrainian government, because against the background... our israeli politicians look simple, you know, like schoolchildren, and that is why we have what we have, we must raise the level of awareness of our partners about the realities of this war, that not only military personnel die in this war, a huge number of civilians, and the realities of this war must be conveyed to every citizen of those countries that support us, without any doubt, since we are talking about terror. and this one terror is undisguised, it is open and brazen, well, at least what happened today in chernihiv can definitely be defined as a terrorist act carried out by a terrorist state, and there is no doubt about it. at the same time, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, sirskyi, says that the russians want to capture chasiv yar by may 7, and on may 7

the inauguration of this should take place, not least to president putin, and obviously some kind of gift. the russian occupiers want to do to him, how likely is the deployment of such positions that will allow to take time and then go to those positions that are critically important for the armed forces of ukraine? the russians have the capabilities, and we clearly understand that the capture of the time gap is not only a purely political nuance under... the inauguration of the pseudo-president of the russian federation, it is primarily a threat to us for the further advance of the enemy in the direction of konstantinivka, kramatursk. slavyansk, from the time of oyar to kramatorsk, there are almost four villages and there will be kramatorsk, so this is enough,

you know, a threatening situation, and the russians will put in their best efforts, we too we are making every effort to prevent this from happening, but it should not be taken away from the attention of other areas of the front, because the russians can accumulate. after hearing the resources and due to the rapid transfer and probing of weak points in our defense, it is enough to react quickly in other areas. we see how threatening the situation is now in the zaporozhye direction in the rabotino area, and other directions should not be rejected, so the task for our intelligence is to effectively, quickly and with a large, huge margin detect possible enemy advances on others areas, so you should not forget about other areas, looking only at the time of the eu. mr. general, both zelensky and general budanov say that at the end

of may, at the beginning of june , a larger offensive should be expected, now the russians are advancing, but this offensive should be much larger, as they say, and this is due to the fact that new, human resources will come to the russian army, and that they will deploy their capabilities not only to the eastern and southern, as i understand it, fronts, how do you assess the capabilities of the russians throughout may, the end may, early june to deploy and deploy a larger territory for combat operations in ukraine, well, they already have more than enough offensive capacity in various areas, if you mean the territory that... connects with russia from the sumy and chernihiv sides oblast, there is also such a threat, and they may want to repeat the option that they justified

in february, march of the 22nd year, but taking into account the mistakes they made, and i think that they will do their best to it didn't happen again, that's why it's a question for us number one is not what the russians will do, for me the more interesting question is what... is our government doing to strengthen our defense capabilities in terms of preparing reserves, in terms of transferring the economy to the rails of functioning in wartime conditions , and the third - fortification equipment localities, these are probably the three main ones, and maybe even the fourth, that we see that the government in certain positions is failing, people do not understand what to do and do not... perceive a threat and do not know how to solve them, then the creation of everything of the national government rescue can greatly improve the situation than

what we have now, because now the actions of the authorities remind me of pulling a blanket, a short blanket, pulled over the head, the legs are dying, pulled over the legs, and the head freezes, so this is the father, considering that , that a fairly short period remains before... that big offensive, as they say, again, both president zelenskyi and general budanov, or whether there are still, still these opportunities, when the ukrainian authorities can manage to make this the attack was not so painful, in that including for the north-eastern part of ukraine, you mentioned chernihiv and sumy regions, and also for kharkiv region, because blumbergot writes that russia generally wants to isolate kharkiv and make it unfit for... life and that they are bombing so that people from there left, and since they cannot take this city, they just want to turn it into a desolation, as for the desolation,

even with the resources that the russians have, as for kharkov, it will be difficult enough, kharkov is not a small city, it is 350 km, this 23 thousand houses, a huge number of industrial buildings. and with the correct organization of the defense of kharkov, it is possible to prevent not only an assault, even a blockade of kharkov, but certain measures must be taken. unfortunately, for the past five months, we have been fed and diverted our attention from the government's inaction by the process of considering the law, and then adopting a law on a new version of the law on mobilization, but even, you know, such a tragedy. the situation is that it will work only in a month, then we will have to wait another month, and the authorities will say: so we did everything we could, the deputies did, the president signed what

you want from us, but it does not work by itself, and the huge problem is that the authorities are absolutely not looking for new ways to solve problems , which have been standing for a long time, but are again engaged in the process of creating a powerful imitation of movement, but still we are marching, unfortunately, still in place. today it became known that a meeting of the ukraine-nato council will be held on april 19, this was announced by the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance stoltenberg, president zelenskyi says that kyiv will make a... request for convening, and actually this convocation has already taken place this meeting and will ask for help countering russian missiles, let's listen to what zelensky said. during these two days, we have heard nothing but about different conflicts here in europe and in the middle east, different levels of threats, different airspace, although the threats are the same.

ballistics, about various threats of escalation, but aren't human lives different, aren't people different in dignity, no, we value every life equally, we must value it, we must protect it on one level, from terror, ukraine will make a request to convene a meeting of the ukraine-nato council, regarding the protection of the sky, the supply of air defense, relevant systems and missiles. mr. general, in your opinion, what is holding back our western partners from transferring a sufficient number of air defense systems to at least cover the cities of millions? well, first of all, in the previous speech of citizen zelensky, there is such an interesting moment that there should be, you know, a key phrase, but why was it not and why is the huge number of dead people responsible for the inaction of the authorities on certain stages of the last five years of the history

of ukraine. as for why, well, at least because, in order to be helped, you have to do a lot yourself, and when there are a huge number of examples of powerful scandals and powerful examples of unprofessionalism, each country will always think about its own guarantees, about its own security system, which means that somewhere our politicians, our diplomats are not working hard enough and... we need to find those arguments that would be more important, and what we have repeatedly said that when practically no ukrainian journalist talks about the ukrainian-russian war on the channels of europe and the united states, in good english or in other languages, so there is an understanding of getting used to it and ukraine is simply quietly forgotten. again, the same example with israel, but israel clearly conducts its

information policy and in a brutal way. form reminds and forces people, forces politicians to help. we are like deaf and dumb people who do not hear us and do not see us, and the russians in the russian, in the resources of these regions, about which we are talking, have powerful positions and quite often cite examples of the same corrupt, permanent components of scandals that arise in our government, and they also play on this, so if you want to be heard, you need to talk about it, if you want to be given something, you need to bring it. those arguments that would allow asking rub's question. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg, whom i already mentioned , called on the member states of the alliance to give priority to greater military aid to ukraine, rather than spending on their own defense. let's listen to what stoltenberg said. ukraine needs even more, so if before

allies will appear in... between their own weapons and providing more support to ukraine, my call will be clear: send more to ukraine. denmark is a strong example of how to provide all of its artillery to the ukrainians, but they also have a specific plan to replenish their own stockpiles of weapons. mr. general, you rightly said that the ukrainian authorities should also demonstrate their aspirations and efforts to our western partners. in order to provide its own army, including its own weapons, of its own production munitions, and to do everything so that the west understands that ukraine is doing its best, you have already mentioned the changes to the mobilization law, and this is probably one of those cases when our american partners also talked about streamlining the mobilization system, or make it more

clear, why so... how long do you think these changes to the resolution take?
