to do is the main means, the means of countering assaults, the russian assault remains fpv drones, this is clearly not enough, we do not need to come out, if we were to come to parity with russia in artillery, it would already be a huge relief for the ukrainian troops, well, we are talking about it, of course about the same atakamsya and f-16, of course, which should neutralize the russian dominance in the air, if these are the three elements we have. there will be, and one more plus, of course, one could say about anti-tank weapons, so that to really already guarantee the destruction of any armored vehicles that appear in the field of view of ukrainian soldiers, it would be generally good, now in all the mentioned areas we are very far from parity, we have a huge deficit, i hope that after all the adoption of the political adoption of the decision by the united states, it gave the necessary impetus, but even at the meeting with...

said that the decision was adopted, but the process of supplying serious weapons, it will be delayed, why this is happening, it is difficult to say, but you can imagine, well, for example , if indeed in the absence of budgeting by the decision of the congress, then budgeting by the administration, in the united states department of defense, for example, the necessary processes were not started not only for production, which in principle is a long process. but also the preparation of such weapons from the arsenals, the armed forces of the united states, because obviously this requires appropriate decisions, including financial ones, and this, of course, created such a gap, again a gap that is now beginning to be filled, but again these weapons are delivered from across the ocean and, of course, you cannot deliver the same ammunition quickly, unless you use the arsenals of the european union. of the united states. mr.

mykhailo, a few days ago the minister of defense of germany, boris pistorius, stated that there are signs that the russian federation is not only covering the needs it currently has, but is beginning to produce much more weapons and is trying to move these weapons to warehouses. what that means is that our western partners are not keeping up. behind russia, that is, in russia, this military-industrial complex is deployed much faster under the time of war, and we see that they are making more weapons, trying to stockpile these weapons , is it still a misleading impression that russia still uses not only its own weapons, but also north korean ballistic missiles, iranian drones and obviously there some dual -use products come from china and... and it's just an illusion

that russia is such a big, arms-building monster that tries to do much more than it needs, and in order to simply include the whole world in an arms race, as the united states of america once included soviet union, and as a result the soviet union collapsed. well, i will say right away that russia and the axis of evil are competing, if we exclude china and western countries from there, and... what, because the economic potential of the west, the great west, let's say, the wide west, is much greater, and there is nothing to talk about here, it’s just that russia is moving its economy much faster on military lines, unlike our partners, our partners were under the impression that if together, if the congress did not decide on aid, then the united the states would, for example, be excluded altogether. from

the process of supporting ukraine, and this would lead to very, very negative consequences, but if we talk specifically about the information of the minister of defense of germany, then of course he speaks, obviously relying on the reports of german intelligence, and it is possible that they have such information, for example, i do not saw such information, of course, in public access, that the russians began to store something in warehouses, well, for example, with armored vehicles, they definitely continue to, let's say, clean out their storage bases armed and military equipment, have been there since soviet times, this is proven by satellite images, that they choose all possible equipment, cannibalize it, collect three out of 10 tanks, armored personnel carriers and bmp as well and try to replenish their units and units with equipment, subdivisions, but in fact... they don't always

manage even that, they don't keep up with this pace, it's not for nothing that golf carts, motorcycles and other improvised means, loaves of bread, and urals appear. covered with iron and so on, that is, all this indicates that they do not have armored vehicles enough, so we can conclude that they are not stockpiling it somewhere, the same is true with ammunition, they have north korea working for them, so it is true, and this allows them to hold the lead compared to ukraine in this segment, but i would like to emphasize that if you count all the programs launched in the european union, the czech initiative, plus the united states, then you can... say that in the 24th year, somewhere in the second half of the year, ukraine can, if we are not talking about parity, again, will be left to depend on how much north korea is in will be handed over to russia this year, but ukraine will have around 2.5 million munitions, this is a very good

level, which will nevertheless allow to neutralize the threat or such a radical advantage of russian artillery, that is, with artillery, with ammunition, with artillery, i will not say what.. . somewhere they are already starting to gather at the same storage bases and somewhere they are already preparing for new attacks on europe or, for example, with munitions, in the same way, with missiles, that is, i do not have such information to confirm the words of the minister of defense of the federal republic of germany, but he perhaps he meant that, after all, europe needs to quickly switch to a military economy and prepare for difficult times, not to think that now the war will end quickly and you can do nothing. i think that perhaps this meaning was put into his words by the minister of defense of germany. mr. mikhail, at the very end of our conversation, i would like to ask you about the shelling of odessa, because yesterday the russians hit with an iskander missile, which, according to experts,

was filled with shrapnel to give the impression of live force, so far five people have died, more than 30 people were injured, four are in serious condition. two children, aged 16 and 5, as well as a pregnant woman were injured in the accident. how often do the russians use this weapon and what kind of weapon is it, i.e. it's some kind of cassette blocks for iskander, this shrapnel in what form? that is, there is an ordinary iskander, well, missiles that are launched by iskander, and there are filled with shrapnel, that is, it is some other modification that simply has a very... large radius of impact and living, living people, if, if they fall into the epicenter? well, yes, this is an iskander, just an iskander with a combat, cassette combat unit, this is basically a full-time combat unit, there is a unitary unit, there is a cassette unit, and as a rule

, it is really used to increase the area of ​​damage to both the enemy's manpower and armored vehicles, that is, it can destroy. these elements can also destroy armored vehicles, but here the fact is that it is an open war crime when a country uses a ballistic missile with a cluster warhead, it is generally prohibited, in fact, of course, it is generally prohibited to hit civilian objects, but when you you also use a cluster warhead in a ballistic missile, well, this is generally something beyond understanding, and frankly, i have not yet ... seen statements from the european union, the united nations, the osce or other organizations that would simply, well, not that they condemned, but started talking about the opening of another criminal case regarding the use of such weapons against the city of millionaire, just a peaceful city,

a millionaire, against him, why is this ballistic missile being used, and it was clear that this missile was specifically aimed at... this area, it's hard to say where exactly, or in this castle, so-called, or maybe it was somewhere in, i don’t know, in another district, but a cluster combat unit was aiming for this district somewhere, that is, it was not a specific target, but for a large area, and here no military units are definitely located, they may come, i don't know, there are those who like to talk things out, accuse ukraine of some kind of excessive forces and so on. but let the international organizations come and look at what russia is doing, i think that only for this case putin can be to bring to the international court, because a direct attack is just in broad daylight on

a civilian city of a million people in europe, i think that it is already beyond the limit of general understanding, well, i understand there, if they hit the iskander on the railway junction, it is possible. to say that it's okay, it's a war, there's railway transportation of the military, there's something to be pulled by the ears, but here it's already concretely simple, it seems to me that putin is specifically mocking the international. society and simply demonstrates that he can do anything but sanctions do not act, in parallel i was simply struck by this in general, in parallel with this event in the united states, an order is issued to remove sanctions from russia's largest banks related to energy, that is, the biden administration obviously does not want them to have a price tag for gasoline before the elections, as the americans say, it grew due to the fact that some russian banks there... will not be able to transfer funds or trade in oil, i do not know what exactly the americans mean when

they remove sanctions from these russian banks related to energy, it is clearly written there, it is oil, gas and so on, but it looks very cynical, that is, against the background of this strike , sanctions are lifted, uranium is traded, business as usual continues, while they say that ukraine cannot strike on the refinery, well, it's just beyond the limit of understanding, and i'm sorry to explain here. it is very difficult, although in fact only for this it is possible to prosecute putin personally, because he is the supreme commander, and for this strike he can clearly be prosecuted as a war criminal. thank you, mr. mykhailo, for the conversation, it was mykhailo samus, a military expert. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us on these platforms, please subscribe to our pages. and take part in our vote. today we ask you the following: do you support the activities of

a public broadcaster independent of the authorities? yes, no, everything is quite simple, there are actually only two options in youtube, and you can leave more comments if you have your own opinion that goes beyond these two definite answers. if you watch us on tv, take your expensive smartphone or phone and vote if you support the activities of an independent from. authorities of the public broadcaster 0800 211 381 no 0800 211382 all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next, we are in touch with volodymyr tsybulko, political analyst, writer and people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. mr. volodymyr, let's start our conversation with... the law that changes the order of mobilization and registration

of conscripts, it enters into force on may 18, and we can see what kind of resonance we already have, in particular among those ukrainians who are abroad, to whom consular service in countries outside of ukraine was stopped and they say that they have to update their data in the tsc. of course, the electronic cabinet, which should be counted on by ukrainians who are outside the borders, is not working yet in ukraine, snappy lives and does not work, that is , it is impossible not to update this data, how do you evaluate this entire mobilization company, how, as a result of this, does the government communicate, or does it somehow try to communicate and explain, tell. all men from 18 to 60 years old, which is a constitutional norm, has

a constitutional duty, and all citizens must fulfill this duty to protect ukraine during the war, why do people have such a reaction to such a decision, well, considering that now is the hot phase of the war, we understand that obviously the mobilization will affect many men, well, 90%. so exactly, well, in general , the government operates in the mode of patching holes and putting out constant fires, which itself provokes, if you take into account the style with which i will introduce, well , in general, the government approached the writing of the bill on mobilization, and then the implementation of this bill in the council, as it was all arranged, one gets the feeling that... the government is the main destroyer in the country, because with such an approach, in fact,

there is no improvement in defense capability, and nervousness in society is stirred up to to such a level that people, especially those abroad, are already thinking about renouncing ukrainian citizenship altogether, because even in a situation where the law has been voted, this freedom... will regarding consular services, it has put ukrainians in a very strange position, when the home state refuses to protect the interests of its citizens for. border, although it itself demands respect for itself and the fulfillment of the duty, in particular, the duty to defend one's country, by the citizens of ukraine, but it must be remembered that hundreds of thousands of ukrainians found themselves already after the start of hostilities for border, because of the government's schematism, because how many

representatives of the ruling servant of the people party are involved in customs clearance. abroad, let's recall at least the story of a deputy from ternopil who threw away a wad of 500 dollars, a bribe for customs clearance, for the fence of her building, and she, by the way, still walks around the parliament, it seems that she even voted for this law , that is, in essence, what is called the power of the first ticket. there is such a household term for a part of its population and sent it abroad, and now it will try to return it, arranging it again, well , it's an absolute mockery, the law has not yet entered into force, and ukrainians are deprived of the right to obtain passports, where the law on

mobilization stipulates the refusal of the state to issue passports abroad, this is... well , this is some confusion, which is designed to simply leave a part of the active ukrainian population firmly abroad, people anyway ela libanova spoke earlier about the fact that 30% of ukrainian displaced persons abroad will not return to ukraine, i now think that thanks to such by the efforts of the authorities, well, half of the men... will not return, but how and in what way the men will return is still unclear, because germany has said that even if the ukrainians do not get their passports extended, they will issue them temporary passports, which will mean, well, in fact , the passport of a ukrainian in germany or in the countries

of the european union, at the same time the president of... lithuania gitanas nauseda and the prime minister ingrid šemonite supported the idea of ​​returning to ukraine men of draft age who live abroad, they stated that during the debate on radio lrt. let's hear what they said. ukraine, ukraine must have the means and tools to invite its young men to serve their homeland. we must cooperate with ukraine. in every sense. we could probably look for some ways to make sure that a person has fulfilled his mobilization duty, or is exempt from it, when we consider the issue of extending a temporary residence permit. but we need to work not only with the ukrainian authorities, but also more broadly, because the so-called temporary

protection for ukrainians is currently in effect in the eu. you see, mr. volodymyr. that the countries that are part of the european union, they say that there is legislation that guarantees people who fled the war, in what way they fled there, and there is a part of people who did not flee, but left early, live for the border, that they guarantee them temporary protection, but mr. serhiy, there is another interesting mechanism if ukrainians do not trust, and part of ukrainians do not trust the ukrainian authorities, the authorities of zelensky, because of... who sees how inconsistent and destructive this government is, i think it would be an interesting experiment if the countries in which ukrainian men, ukrainian refugees, are resettled would offer service to ukrainians on the terms of these countries, under guarantees social institutions of these countries,

ukrainians could come after... to ukraine and would have a chance to return to their country of residence after the end of the war, the contract with which they concluded, once, because the ukrainian authorities themselves brought the situation to such, well, distortion, such disproportions, to be honest, that people just don't trust the government, that's the first thing, secondly, the government itself hasn't come up with anything better than to transform the troops. of the ukrayaks, but if earlier the authorities had proposed some sort of multivariate system where you could come for three months to fight for a contract and get fired. and then come again after some time, so that there are short contracts, annual contracts and stable contracts for high-class

specialists, because there are military accounting specialties in which you need to train a person, specialist, two years, three years, and maybe four years, and in this sense there are no offers from the assembly centers, that is, if the authorities consider uh... uh, their steps on mobilization as, well, let's say, the involvement of an uncle with a machine gun and a shovel, then this is not the development of the armed forces, this is the development of the militia, and the armed forces are highly qualified specialists in various branches of the military, and very often these specialists have to be trained long and boringly, we are watching, we all dream when in we will appear... such f-16s, and one of the largest language training appears to be a problem, there are a lot of questions, mr. volodymyr, of course, but

here is what the authorities are already saying today through the mouth of the deputy prime minister for european and euro-atlantic integration olga stefanishyna, she says that ukraine will not forcibly return men of conscription age from abroad, and it is only about their registration. that is, we see how in a week the situation practically changes, that is, from the fact that we will not issue documents and they will be forced to return, and now they say that we will not forcibly return men, well, imagine that the western european countries, where the majority of ukrainians will forcibly gather these men and somehow pack them there, and mr. serhiy, it seems to me that the ukrainian authorities. there is no idea about the existence of the european charter on human rights, that is, they first say something, then their thinking is absolutely feudal, i am

the boss, you are called a fool, and that is , everyone who is not the boss is all stupid, and they perceive people as fools, unfortunately, but when some, well, more or less educated people poke they face the fact that there are a lot of rules, in particular in... the ties of the state of ukraine regarding the free trade zone with the eu, european integration, and in a month, somewhere in one and a half, the dialogue on acquiring membership in the european union will begin, and what has it done during this time the government, it took a whole set of anti-european steps, and it is clear why, because, for example, jan stoltenberg came to kyiv, and hinted that ukraine would be on... that, but not in the near future, and zelensky finally happily began to talk, so that during his term of office of ukraine will not be in nato, that's all, he

has fulfilled all his obligations, we can say, although the inconsistency and nervousness with which the ukrainian government approaches the future perspective of nato membership, it is simply terrifying, what to remember at least the visit, the only one so far ... what about zelenskyi's nato summits in vilnius, what damage did this visit do to the state's reputation? well, mr. volodymyr, as a result, what should the state do so that the mobilization in ukraine continues and takes place in such a way that people understand that it is necessary to defend ukraine and that it is not only a constitutional constitutional obligation. and it is also the duty to protect oneself, one's relatives, and in the end not to fall into the occupying russian army, what would you advise

the authorities to do, because it is still communication and this, as ambassador valery challey says, is basically communication - it is not only when you listen, but when you also answer, mr. serhiy, communication is also when the authorities... predicted, the behavior of the authorities is predicted, in our country after somewhere, well, when the covid started, the behavior of the authorities became completely unpredicted, one of the most important the expectations of the military, who were waiting for the law on mobilization, this is the upper limit of staying in the army, 36 months, the opposition insisted on this, well, let's say, like lev petro poroshenko fought for this thesis. but this novel was not passed in the legislation, although there were some signals that the authorities were ready for this, and turning people into serfs, not even...

not providing them with additional financial incentives, very often, even what was, the opposition introduced mandatory surcharge of 70,000 for staying on the front line, the authorities replaced it by the decision of the cabinet of ministers, and let's remember how many times after february 24, the ukrainian authorities changed the rules for payment of labor, for these two surpluses. years of war, it’s just a disaster, because of which this looping is now getting out of hand and with great distrust of the authorities, no matter how much the bank has painted the trust ratings for zelensky, well, zelensky is not trusted and in fact, well, let’s say this way, this format of managing the country has exhausted itself a long time ago, or the military cabinet, then there will be at least some confidence

in the new government and ukrainians. maybe again will go to the army, you mean reformatting the power system itself under the current conditions, since there will be no elections, i.e. expanding the number of political forces that delegate their representatives and the creation of some kind of coalition, a political coalition, i am not saying only in the verkhovna rada, and in general in power, just briefly, the idea is that we still have a parliamentary-presidential republic, it should be reminded. and the most important institution in our country is the parliament, the parliament has the potential to reform the current, well, monocoalition, which does not exist, but in our country, in the last, in my opinion, 18 months, only four laws were adopted, where more than 200 votes were given by the servant of the people, only more than 200, that is , no laws were adopted individually at all,

therefore.. in this sense, it is a good approach to reformat, create a military cabinet and renew honest relations with the military. thank you, i hope that the authorities will listen to your advice, it was volodymyr tsibulko, a political expert. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who now watching us live. please subscribe to our pages on these platforms and now we will see the results of the interim. in our survey, we ask you: do you support the activities of a public broadcaster independent of the authorities? 92% yes, 8% no - these are the results of an interim survey on tv. there are discounts on dolgit cream and dolgit gel up to 30% in travel bam and oshkad pharmacies. there are 15% discounts on uruleysan in pharmacies plantain bam and. there are discounts on
