because you're right, after all you can't end a war without both sides participating. mr. volodymyr, under what conditions, in your opinion, can russia be a participant in the negotiations? well, under the condition of signing an agreement on, or rather, an act of surrender, i honestly do not see any other reasonable conditions, well, because let's hear, or rather... we know what russian officials of the highest level are saying, that ukraine should recognize new territorial realities, which translated from moscow means that we must, er, agree to annexation of our lands, and the second, key thing that the kremlin is saying is that ukraine should actually become a semi-colony

of russia, e. from the chinese direction, then russian demands are written there and somewhat sprinkled with other pretensions of one or another country, that is, there is no ukrainian interest there. therefore, what kind of negotiations can be conducted on such a basis, to be honest, i have no idea, uh, therefore, well by the way, in minister kuleba's statement, i honestly did not hear the imperative there, it was said that maybe something will happen after this conference, maybe there will be some contacts, maybe there will be some eh... not

necessarily direct meetings and so on, that is, i think that talking now about negotiations with russia is simply pointless, because there is no subject for negotiations, and what can this summit do, it can be useful politically, because yes, there 80 or 90 or 100 countries that will gather, they will accept an important is a document, some statement, some declaration, the right words will be said, it really will not have any practical impact on russia, because more than once, more than one year, the un has adopted relevant resolutions with all the right words, but the only thing that russia did not respond to them, and is not responding, that is why, in fact , it will also be in geneva, in switzerland, excuse me, after this conference, and... but the main argument

that will make russia think about how it should be concluded war, this is our success armed forces on the battlefield, there is no other option in the conversation with russia, that is exactly when russia will understand that it will lose, and exactly when russia will understand that its military industry and its refineries and what it is sitting on will destroyed in the morning, that's when. and the people around putin will say, dear comrade putin, it's time for you to go gaga, and we 'll figure it out somehow without you, that's actually what the possibility of final negotiations with russia means, otherwise we get the same beast only after a certain period of time, which will then destroy ukraine to the ground. mr. volodymyr, more one topic that will be during this month, for sure, is the topic that the russian federation is trying to pump through... its

media and disinformation, in particular in the west, this is the topic of the alleged illegitimacy of president zelensky. may 20 will be 5 years since zelensky's inauguration. lavrov already said that, well, we will see what is recognized there, we will not recognize, we will not, for example, zelensky will no longer be a legitimate president. it is clear that for us. it is quite clear that president zelensky was and remains the legitimate president until the next election, whether it will be clear to the western audience that the president's powers will be extended, this is one thing, and secondly, whether counter-propaganda regarding putin's legitimacy or illegitimacy could be effective in this situation, because he was elected temporarily.

occupied territories of the ukrainian state, and this is a violation of all international rules, conventions, and a reason for, starting from the resolution. to tell the european parliament that putin is illegitimate and with the corresponding consequences, so you know mr. serhiy, it just seems to me that lavrov needs to think better about his pseudo-president and how he will move around the world, having an arrest warrant, even more so after these pseudo-elections, so you know, the so-called illegitimacy of ukraine. which authorities, it has already been launched for a long time, it is already working, and now until the end of the month, i think there will just be a scream of all these russian propagandists and so on, but i think that we should look at this completely calmly, understanding that we

will not hear anything else from this russian propaganda nothing, but it’s easy with our western partners... to carry out the work so that those pseudo-arguments that will definitely be launched and are already launched on the western information market, so that they do not make any impression there, it is necessary to make appropriate clear and unambiguous statements, statements of a legal nature, i hope that this will be done before this date, in order to put an end, to put an end to all these... insinuations, because the most important and important thing for muscovy is not only some tactical advance on the battlefield, but the split ukrainian society, and for this they will do everything, everything depends on them. mr. volodymyr, at the end, a very short

question, regarding this resolution of the european parliament, regarding the illegitimacy of putin, to what extent this resolution, which is usually of a recommendatory nature, to what extent it can be... adapted or to what extent, referring to it, other countries can say: "we are not we recognize putin's powers". well, you are right, mr. sergey, it is suggestive, it is political, but it creates an atmosphere accordingly, and therefore, i think that its meaning is not average, then everything depends on the political will of each country. if it is, then you can relax. to refer to this resolution and make the appropriate decision, if it is not there, then no resolution will help. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation, this was volodymyr gryzko, politician, diplomat, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2007-9. well, one more small topic at the very end of our

program, this is the use of artificial intelligence in the ministry of foreign affairs, created by the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine using techno. artificial intelligence digital person by name victoria shi, who will officially comment on consular information for the media. in her congratulatory video message, the virtual spokeswoman of the ministry of foreign affairs explained the essence of her work. let's listen. first of all, i will inform the public, convey operational and verified information of the consular service of the mfa of ukraine. i will inform journalists about the work of consuls in protecting the rights and interests of ukrainian citizens for. i will also talk about the response of the ministry of foreign affairs to incidents or emergency situations abroad and inform about other important consular question. this lady was created on the basis of a real person, that is, artificial intelligence

created from a real person, she is the ukrainian singer rusely nombre, to be honest, i do not know such a singer, well, at least in the message it is said that it is... nombre and the question here is quite simple: is the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine lacking experienced diplomats, international experts who can comment on consular issues and be real spokespeople for the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine, why is it necessary to resort to to artificial intelligence, to the shi avatar, which will comment on consular information, and the question arises quite simply, why... the ukrainian government is gradually turning into a kind of hologram, that is, if a living, living person, a real person comes out and starts commenting on consular issues, which now, of course, quite actively, there is a need for these

questions from ukrainians abroad, some of whom do not currently receive consular services, because they have to update their data at the central committee there, or? does this avatar cause any believe it or not, that's an open question for me, because i'd like to see a real person with a real name, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry, to comment. all consular questions, not some other avatar, artificial intelligence trying to explain something to ukrainians. it seems to me that during the war this is a completely unsuccessful idea, especially since this avatar, this victoria shi, speaks in such a state language that it is very difficult to understand what she is talking about, it seems that they wrote and wrote some circulars there speech this inaugural address these to this shi avatar, well... let's see how they will use this shi avatar. friends, i would like to remind you that during this broadcast we conducted

i am olga lentse, war chronicles, congratulations. in hellish battles continue in the donetsk operational zone, in general, the battles along the entire front line are quite heavy and... while the situation does not improve, the rollback of the front on the donetsk sector also continues, in principle we can say that the situation now is quite difficult for... us, therefore that the enemy is trying to take advantage of that, you know, the opportunity created for him by the lack of sufficient ammunition, the lack of a sufficient number of men, and in fact, as long as this lack makes itself felt, until then the enemy will practically advance, and in this

in this situation, i remind you about our collection, which is very important, espresso and the public organization. the base of the resistance is called to support the collection for fpv drones, which actually have to compensate for this lack of shells, the lack of ammunition, collection for the 93rd kholodny yar brigade and the 72nd brigade of black zaporozhets, who are constantly in the combat zone without rest, our contributions will help to establish own production, testing, variations for the needs of defenders. we can do all this and provide it together by collecting 2 million hryvnias. er, most of us have already collected, and let's finish and finally make this entire collection, so we really hope for you, well, look at the account number, you can go to monobank in private, everything will also be

broadcast on youtube, you will see, please join any input is very... important, well now let's see what's been happening on the front for the last few days on the battle map . map of military operations for the period of april 24, may 1, the loss of the reeds created a threat to toretsk and kostyantynivka. the russians are in a hurry to seize as much of donetsk as possible, while the armed forces lack ammunition, and help is still on the way. the armed forces were under much greater pressure. and manpower and artillery and aviation, and therefore we have to retreat in those places where there is nothing and no one to hold on to. on the other hand, even with this advantage, the armed forces of the russian federation cannot develop a rapid offensive. the postavdiyiv front is reaching new horizons. during the week, the russians managed to push through our defenses

on almost all areas of this front. they captured half of it from the southern edge the small village of netaylovo. and created a threat of advancing to karlivka and exiting the road leading to yasnobrodivka and umansky, where our defensive positions are located. in the area of ​​these villages, the front line did not change, and the assaults of the occupiers were insignificant. however, the situation here may worsen sharply, taking into account the events that took place in other areas in the area of ​​orlivka, berdychiv. along the entire length of the front, from orlivka to berdychi, the rechists crossed the durna river and captured it. the village of semenivka and berdychi. the armed forces of ukraine restored the defensive line near novopokrovsky. taking into account the fact that the third assault brigade retreated from semenivka , it becomes clear how difficult the operational situation was. however , events developed most dynamically around ocheretyny, taking the dominant heights where the village is located, which until recently was the main defense center on this part of the front, the russians

continued their offensive in the northwest direction on novooleksandrivka. part of the enemy troops. continues to advance along the railway track in the direction of the village of progress. such tactics are connected with the fact that this territory difficult to replace. on the other hand, the armed forces of the russian federation are quite vulnerable to artillery, advancing practically on open territory. at the same time, the occupiers are expanding their flanks to protect themselves from a counterattack by the armed forces. in this way, they captured novo bakhmutivka and solovyovy and began an attack on the village of sokil. on the left flank there is a ridge. managed to drive a wedge between the two brigades and occupy the village of novokalynovy keramik, our troops retreated to arkhangelsk. after the enemy took his turn, he went to the commanding heights and managed to expand his flanks, he had the opportunity to choose the direction of his main offensive, or move west towards pokrovsk or north to kostiantynivka. despite the exact

distance of 30 km between both cities, the attack on pokrovsk is more problematic because. logistical problems that will inevitably arise if the front line is extended only in one section. the offensive on kostyantynivka looks more promising, because it is simultaneously being pressed by other troops from the side of the time gap. in addition, it will allow bypassing the defenses of toretsk and new york, where the front line is not changed since 2014. therefore, the occupiers intensified their attack on the liberation of klishchiivka and andriivka in the summer, which, like a bone, stand in opposition to their zaharnytsia plans. despite the difficult situation. under the time gap, the front line has not changed, the forces will continue to receive a part of ivanovsky, without the occupation of which a full-fledged attack on the city is impossible. in summary, it is worth paying attention to... the fact that 2.5 months have passed since the occupation of avdiyivka, and during this time, despite all efforts, the russians did not manage to break through the front, and their advance was 12-13 km to the west and to the

north, and only diagonally in the direction of ocheretiny, they traveled 22 km. at the same time, the armed forces demonstrated the flexibility of the defense and the availability of resources that can be thrown into battle, having the necessary ammunition. battle for krasnohorivka. a week after the russians almost broke through to the central areas of the city, the situation here has changed dramatically. the defense forces managed to repel the rashists not only from the central regions, but also from the eastern ones. currently, the enemy is entrenched only in a small part of the southern districts of the city. fierce battles continue in all other areas. the offensive on kupyansk: this week, the rashists broke through our positions in the kislivka area and almost captured this village, which is 22 km from kupyansk. this is an attempt to continue the offensive on kupinsk through the route that runs. from svatovoy. back in january, the russians managed to capture the villages of krokhmalnyi and bayivka, but the last zsu was repulsed. then the invaders occupied 8 km

of the strategically important road, but could not develop success, in particular thanks to the defense in kislivka and nearby kotlyarivka. now , after the occupation of kislivka, our soldiers in kotlyarivka found themselves under threat from the encirclement, and therefore, they will be forced to move to other positions. in addition, the russians activated their assaults near si. berestov and novoselivske, but the defense forces pushed them back. southern prospects of a counteroffensive. while heavy fighting continues in donetsk region, the ukrainian armed forces direct their atakams and drones in the southern direction. after the destruction of the anti-aircraft defense system near jenko, new missiles flew to the tarkhankutu area, where they took out all four s-300 and s-400 air defense systems. in addition, the other day numerous explosions occurred in simferopol, gvardiysky and again in dzhankoya. about the results of bavovna. will be known later. in addition, in the krasnodar region of the russian federation, a massive strike by drones once again stopped the refineries in slovyansk and ilsky. in addition, the strike on

the airfield in kushchivsk was well-timed. about fifty sorties of su-34 and su-35 fighters, which carry guided aerial bombs, are carried out from there to ukraine during the day. as a result of the strike , a part of warehouses with aerial bombs was definitely destroyed, and also some of the planes were probably damaged. this strike shows vulnerability. airfields strategically important for the russian federation, which will force the russians to disperse aircraft and move air defense systems. well, in addition to what was said, here is literally the news of the last day, the ukrainian troops managed to launch an attack and restore positions east of yampolivka in the kupyansk direction, with the forces of the 23rd brigade and the 63rd brigade. such a defeat of the enemy position was carried out with a subsequent assault, and it was unexpected for the enemy, and it is not bad, but our guest has already joined us, vladyslav seleznyov, military

expert, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, spokesman of the general staff, i congratulate you, mr. vladyslav, ms. olga, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and here, well, let's start with the most difficult one. that is , the advance continues in the pokrovsky direction, the ceramics, novokalynovye was captured, it is advancing further to arkhangelsk, and this advance cannot be stopped at the moment, that is , it is advancing along this railway offensive, it’s just that this is the impression along the avenue, why so, well, actually, why is it impossible even on the flanks somehow squeeze them. that is, in fact, now, well, some such situation rolls, rolls, rolls the loss of cheretin was unexpected for many, because there was a rotation, and

the brigade that entered the position did not actually fall out, did not fulfill the combat order, i hope that there will be an appropriate post-operational analysis at the level of the ministry of defense and the general staff , and the officials who are not responsible carried out the order, they will be prosecuted, because it is obvious that questions about the courage of our soldiers who... tried to hold the enemy's attention on this part of the front are unlikely to arise, so this question is purely organizational, purely unjustified commander's decisions, which destroyed the line of defensive boundaries on this part of the front, the situation is actually very difficult, because the enemy not only has an advance on this part of the front, he ensures this advance at the expense of a multiple superiority in numbers, he has what not less than three times, or even four times the amount of permeate. the number of personnel is seven times greater, and this creates certain opportunities for the enemy army, because more, most likely, the nearest prospect is to push right into the depths, i.e.

west of ocherit. on the enemies will stop, but will begin to expand control of the territory on the flanks, well, it is clear why, in order to maximally secure the advanced assault units of his own army, which operate west of cherefino. undoubtedly, the challenge is very serious, because one after the other , a kind of war begins in the territory where it is quite difficult to organize defensive lines and positions, and this is a serious challenge, in spite of the fact that the ukrainian army still lacks artillery ammunition and... all this trend will be observed at least two and maybe three weeks, until the american ammunition enters the line on the line of battle, the ukrainian army will face such problems, on the one hand, the tempo of the enemy army is several hundred meters per day, but nevertheless the trend is not very great , but again i emphasize that in order to avoid making such mistakes in the future, a thorough post-operative analysis should be carried out here,

that is, it is necessary to... find out because of whose activity, or rather without activity , such a situation occurred the responsible and appropriate responsibility of military officials whose inaction caused such a tragedy. we must also understand the following: the enemy will take advantage of the same window of opportunity created by the ukrainian army's lack of not only artillery, but also an air defense system, of course, our aviation component is not as powerful as... the russians , president volodymyr zelenskyi declares that the ratio of aviation equipment to one ukrainian aircraft is not 30 russian, that is, under such conditions, the enemy, using this window of opportunity, will push wherever possible and to the maximum distances, because the mission that began in february 22, regarding the complete occupation of the entire territory of donetsk and luhansk regions, it must be implemented, and it is precisely for the implementation of this mission that all russian occupiers well, apart from the fact

that there is a certain place for us, well , we need to draw some conclusions at the local level in the brigade, but probably also the staff planning should somehow be a little different . of course, the responsibility should be individual, but it is precisely a combination of certain decisions or decisions made or, on the contrary, not made, led to this extremely difficult situation, most likely the ukrainian defense forces will have to withdraw in some areas. of the front precisely in this part of the b line in order to align the front line, well , of course, i hope that the task of president volodymyr zelenskyi to create a three-level line of defensive structures has been implemented, and therefore our soldiers, who are now forced to leave, will be able to establish themselves on new boundaries and positions that will be built in time, i.e. in advance, properly furnished and equipped with

everything necessary. well, the plan, vladyslav, it’s clear that in the direction of, well, let’s say, behind the line, it’s hard to say whether it’s pokrovsky there or they’re more aimed at konstantinivka, the russians even dragged some two new brigades there, but in the meantime, well, it’s like as such the main direction is looming, but in the meantime we see an aggravation of the fighting in the kupyansk direction, which did not happen for a long time, and their advance in the kupyansk direction, which also did not happen. quite a long time ago, well, actually, in addition, here also the latest news that the occupier managed to advance near novoaleksandrivka and in urozhainy, the fertile area is to the west of the coal mine, that is, there too, this is what you say, they are trying to press in different directions and probe, what is this, i think that vorok is already laying the foundations for the future summer offensive here, because most

likely the enemy will act in two main directions, implementing his alarm plans, and in two auxiliary ones. the two auxiliary ones are, as you rightly note, the kupinsky district there, the enemy concentrated at least 71,000 of his soldiers, who, by the way, are equipped with the largest tank component. we remember that tanks are primarily for attack, and most likely our soldiers, who hold the bridgehead on the left bank of the askilo river, will have a rather difficult time in the future, because they are short-armed to provide the army's fence and , accordingly, a sufficient number. resources creates a lot of challenges for our soldiers, who are currently engaged in fierce combat operations on this part of the front. as for the intensification of hostilities in the south of zaporizhzhia region, this one in the staromayorsky area, this one in the rabotino area, yes, i think that in this way the enemy is trying to stretch our strategic reserves as much as possible, because all these two sections of the front are on diametrically opposite sides.
