simulation in the office at the computer, anyone can go through training, we believe that today it should be popularized as much as possible, because it is quite a good, cool and promising profession not only in .. in the mysian direction, as well as in industry, the agricultural sector, and so on. on the course , instructors teach how to fly a drone, determine the coordinates of objects, work in the conditions of electronic warfare and perform tasks with various types of drones. free courses are held by the public organization for victory, together with the lev educational and training center. our course lasts two weeks, first students learn to fly on simulators, some of them. has already dealt with such simulators and, accordingly , it is much easier for them to learn in the future, then we look at more capable students and start giving them such small toys, on which they can fly, understand the dynamics of the canvases, similarly, the glasses are so specific, as you get disoriented in

space, and therefore you need to get used to it. petro finished the uav operator course six months ago, so he decided to prepare for the army. says the boy. in general, i was interested in this half for quite a long time, so i started flying at home, and then there was such an opportunity to take courses, it's free, and the more you know, the better off you will be, no one knows where a year will take you , in two, maybe mobilization, so i decided to improve my skills. in addition to conducting courses, volunteers purchase drones and electronic warfare equipment from lviv manufacturers. the most... usually they fly in one direction, here we make different specifications, exactly what is needed at the front, we also make

eights, it's just a bigger frame, usually by one inch, there is no difference anymore, we do where. recently, a public organization for victory handed over a hundred drones for two brigades in the kharkiv direction, volunteers are preparing for another trip to the front, plan to bring 150 drones to the zaporizhzhia and kherson directions. kateryna oliynyk, andriy polikovskyi, espresso tv channel. turn on well - it's when everything is as you want. click and now you're in control of the game, bird and you're on a tv show, oh my gosh! megogo, turn on hundreds of channels, thousands of movies and sports. exclusively on the air of our channel. congratulations,

andriy pionkovskyi, a political scientist based in washington. the legendary american general wesley clark, ex-commander of the contingent of the euro-atlantic alliance on the european continent, will now be on the espresso tv channel. greetings , dear mr. general clark, and thank you for the opportunity and honor of speaking with you. the key story is the script. of the subsequent war, we in ukraine experienced extremely unpleasant, not just disturbing, literally unpleasant feelings, when several months were given for putin, when we are talking about supply of large-scale american aid, for six months we in ukraine felt that everything could end badly for us, but now there is a feeling that the war is taking on new additional dimensions. i would like to ask you to describe them now. it is very good that ukraine is finally getting weapons from the west, and i am very happy about the support from the united states.

despite the six-month delay and misunderstanding in the congress. however, it is very important that ukraine defines its concept of victory. and she used this concept in order to be guided by it in her demands. not it is necessary to do it in public, but there must be a clear plan for what this weapon is needed for. without a plan, people will say, well, the front has stabilized, there is nothing left but to defend and despair, but this cannot be allowed. in 1940 , british troops were pushed out of the european continent. it took them four years, with american help , to cross the english channel, enter france, and liberate it. important geostrategic initiatives do not happen in a couple of months. it's not easy. then the question of two more batteries or not battalions of artillery, or hundreds of thousands more

155 mm shells, although all are necessary for defense, you need a concept of victory, without which it will be difficult for your supporters in the west to formulate requirements for forces, supplies and reinforcements, so the point is to develop a concept of victory. dear mr. general, we understand that the concept of our victory, the formula of our victory... and the scenario of further war depends on resources, and resources depend on specific political will, including president joseph biden, and we understand that some things in the white house were put on hold only because putin threatened, maybe the use of tactical nuclear weapons, maybe putin threatened something else, but we see that putin is inadequate, that is, the very beginning of the war demonstrated putin's inadequacy and all the atrocities that accompanied this lash. when we talk in particular about the shelling of our peaceful cities, well, accordingly, do you have

a feeling when we talk about, for example, tactical aviation, yes the f-16s that are supposed to arrive this summer, that there will be enough of them numbers, and how the united states will behave if putin really dares to use tactical nuclear weapons, because this is all very, very serious. you asked two questions, the first about it is related to the following question: how many f-16 can be considered a sufficient number? do you need 15, 50 or 500 of these fighters? it depends on your concept of winning. what 's missing, at least in the public dialogue, though i don't know what's being said behind the scenes, are concepts of victory. what it is? this concept forms the basis for solving problems adequacy or inadequacy. military supplies you receive. as for the united states, you have very strong

popular support, reflecting both your determination to fight for your independence and democracy, and the willingness of americans to support those who fight for freedom. this strong sympathy spans both political parties. if putin decides to use nuclear weapons, the united states will have to respond. properly, although i don't know what that answer will be, i hope the us has a suitable military package as well response measures. end this war. when putin realizes that he cannot win and cannot hold the parts of ukraine that he claims are part of russia. this is how this war should end: we often hear that it should end with a diplomatic settlement, because all wars usually end with some kind of written agreement, but the question is what will

form the basis of that agreement? the basis for it should be the results of the ukrainian concept. and the displacement of the russians, the demands that this concept generates, and the determination to fulfill them in the process implementation of the plan, as soon as it starts to happen, i think that putin can be overcome, and i am sure that he will definitely not resort to a nuclear scenario. i ask you about this for a reason, because at one time you restrained not only serbian aggression in the balkans, you also restrained russian aggression in the balkans, you were among those people who... were not afraid to bring the situation to the level of either, or, yes, we remember this case very well in ukraine, yes, and you managed to stop the crimes of serbian fascists who were under milosevic's gun, but on the other hand, there were no nuclear weapons involved, if we 're talking about the seriousness of putin's intentions,

how far do you think things can go and do you feel the readiness of the euro-atlantic community to... fulfill its responsibilities if, for example, putin starts this or that a form of aggression against a nato member state. will it be estonia, will it be lithuania, will it be poland. conflicts can be ended in two ways, one of them is to achieve a dominant escalation. when your opponent recognizes the hopelessness of his position, and it seems that this is how we fought with the serbs in 1999. milosevic was a rational man, but he was also somewhat exhausted by five years of war. his resources also went to zero after he faced multiple pressures. milosevic made the mistake of trying to end kosovo. he hoped that nato's position

would be influenced by the fact that kosovo was part of serbia. however, having assumed specific obligations, the alliance could no longer... retreat. milosevic misinterpreted the political calculation at the highest level in nato. we then started with airstrikes, which could turn into an invasion of ground troops into kosovo and possibly into serbia. as soon as milosevic realized this, he compromised and withdrew his troops. the situation in ukraine has a nuclear component, but not only russia has this trump card in its hands. after all, the usa, france and great britain also have nuclear weapons. while brandishing the nuclear card, putin must recognize the nuclear potential of the other side. if he declares that he wants to go to the end, then he should remember what happened to adolf hitler. let's not we will be satisfied

with putin's fantastic idea that he is ready to go to vabank, sacrificing his mother russia. putin. like every leader who leads a war, he wants to win and is willing to sacrifice his forces, but only to a certain extent. even hitler in 1945 was looking for a way out, hoping to save germany. he was not ready to fight to the end until that end became a reality for him. so putin must understand that there is no reason to continue this war. they weren't there from the beginning. ukraine never was a military threat to russia. the people of ukraine simply wanted to be able to choose their own path. if putin had a clear head and understood the schedule of the 21st century, ukraine and russia would be partners today.

instead, he chose a false path based on false history and the allure of russian imperialism. which has no place in the 21st century. nato leaders understand this well, and that is why they are meeting this year on the 75th anniversary of the alliance. democratic countries have never been in a hurry to intervene, even in kosovo, the conflict lasted for years. before nato began to act. in the case of ukraine, a full-scale war has been going on for more than two years, and... the west continues to watch the action, but that is no reason for putin to think that the west is tired. the heroism of the ukrainian people, their incredible technology. cause the admiration of the whole world

and the west. however, the burden of navigating the path to success rests primarily on the shoulders of ukraine. this means that ukraine needs a concept of victory, we are talking about both a military concept and a political concept that would determine. certain requirements. this concept must be approved and supported by western partners, in order to ensure the fulfillment of these requirements. dear mr. general clark, we understand that this war is not just a war. putin describes it as an existential war. yes, literally a couple of weeks ago, when putin had the opportunity to remain silent, no, he issued a public ultimatum when he said that there could be no talks about anything and began to demand withdrawal. of our ukrainian troops from our ukrainian territories, this is putin's position, and we understand that they are warming up to this here is the concept of an existential war, and we understand

that putin is ready to pay his price, at the same time, on the other hand, we understand that the russian army has not shown anything except the readiness to sacrifice its soldiers, that is , they have not offered anything particularly new on the battlefield, and when we say about the peace formula, i completely agree with you... a clear position of the west must be confirmed with resources, and if we talk about military goals, what do you think putin would like to achieve, because it was not for nothing that he met with the north korean dictator kimchenino, so putin begins hysterically looking for countries where he can add gasoline to the fire. by addressing north korea, china and iran, putin is making a huge mistake. this coalition will only push the west away even more, and will also internationalize ukraine's struggle to repel russian aggression, stimulating western countries to provide

even more aid to ukraine, this is a big mistake on his part. ukraine must do what it must. when british troops were pushed out of france in 1940, prime minister churchill. did incredible statement, he said: we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them on the farms. we will never, never, never surrender, that was british determination. churchill did not have an american ally at the time, as america was not yet at war, these were scary times for britain. the country was bombed, and its... fighter jets were not enough to prevent airstrikes. many historical parallels can be drawn. this is a historic moment for the truth of the ukrainian

state. this is a test of weapons, and this struggle can make ukraine powerful and a leading state on the world stage. dear mr. general, we understand that the current situation can change rapidly in the fall. there will be an election in the united states, and we don't even know. to ukraine, to be honest, what should we expect from donald trump, we don't know what to expect from his team either, but in any case, he gives very different signals, and these signals sometimes scare me because they are too primitive , that is, if you believe the former advisers of trump, yes, who spoke today about how trump would conduct one or another negotiations with kiev and moscow, this is really worrying, we understand that putin is also in the kremlin, putin analysts... are counting on one or another events this fall, and we in ukraine are extremely worried about this. before turning

to the political situation in the united states, i want to say something to the ukrainian soldiers and their families. many of us in the west are watching what is happening in ukraine, and our hearts are with you. we greatly admire your courage and what you are doing. we we understand what it's like to be in the dark, the cold. dirt, we have been through this too, not in your circumstances and not in these realities, but we know how hard it is for you, our hearts beat in time with yours, we admire your dedication, patriotism and sacrifice, i also want to say, that those of us in the west who closely follow the course of the war admire the flexibility and speed of response to the invasion in the kharkov area, which was demonstrated by general syrskyi and the leadership of ukraine. russia hoped that it would be able to break through and capture kharkiv, but it happened in a flash responsiveness, strong leadership, and the self -sacrifice of soldiers prevented this from happening,

winning a war on... requires good leadership at the highest level, and strong will and determination at all levels. in my opinion, the flexibility demonstrated in the response to the invasions in kharkiv and sumy shows good top leadership. as for the us presidential election, we cannot predict what the outcome will be. the fight will be fierce, because everything depends on how many americans vote. it is important that the issue of foreign policy during the election campaign on... is not given much attention, usually the focus is on domestic issues such as the price of petrol, inflation, cost, food and unemployment, so there is a lot of talk about everyday things, not about complex matter of foreign policy. when trump talks about what he's going to do in ukraine, i think he's expecting support from putin. he wants more help from russia

to win elections. however, mine friends from the republican party strongly support ukraine and have no intention of abandoning their position if trump is elected president, so you should not worry about his statements, you just need to understand who he is addressing when he delivers his speeches. in 2016, during a debate with hillary clinton or during one of his speeches, trump said: russia, if you hear me, he knows that russia played your... role in him becoming president, and so he wants to again get her support. actually, the skill and character of ukraine will determine the further development of events. if president zelenskyi and others say that they are not going to negotiate or give up their territory, then it will be so. there is no way trump will be able to force you to do this. that's why i wouldn't

worry so much about our election. instead, focus as much as possible on building up your strength, preparing for next winter, restoring power, and working on the concept of victory. just so you understand, the concept of victory is not just a few soldiers standing near the board with the map. it requires sincere devotion to its people, but i believe that there is a way to win, and i believe that ukraine can do it. mr. general clarkin. lastly, i would like to ask for your advice, perhaps we could address it to one of the ukrainian generals, perhaps to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, perhaps to colonel-general oleksandr syrsky, what in your opinion should be done, what should be paid attention to? oh, i can't answer that question, that is, i can't give that advice, especially in public. being the supreme commander that general syrsky is

is an extremely important mission. you get advice, information and pressure from everywhere, you can't imagine what it's like to be in his place, it's up to him to make all the important decisions and do everything right, only time will tell if he acts correctly, often you have to wait for more than a day for the results , not two or even a month. this is in the vicinity of kharkiv, we have seen an immediate result, and in general it is a long-term struggle, which, unfortunately, will not end in one, two or three months. so it was the same with great britain. there were hopes that the war would end within weeks of dunkirk in 1940, or when the allies crossed the english channel in 1944, but it did not. because wars don't end quickly. that is why you should tighten your belts, roll up your sleeves, recognize that this is an existential struggle and move forward only to

victory. and why do you think putin did not open the northern bridgehead when we are talking about the republic of belarus, yes, because it is an extremely serious threat, but there is a feeling that putin is afraid of it. putin determined to leave a deep mark on history, and therefore he can be relentless. however, the forces that will determine the result come from the heart. the heart of the ukrainian people pulsates more and more strongly, after centuries of struggle. after the disappointments of 1918, after the problems of the 20th century, revolutions, the loss of crimea in 2014. all this is part of the evolutionary process of the struggle for its formation. success comes to those who persevere. this is the challenge ukraine is currently facing. unfortunately, i have to end our conversation with ours tv viewers
