of ukraine, former minister of infrastructure of ukraine. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, mr. sergey, i am also very glad to be your guest. well, first of all, let's start with the situation in the kursk region, because during the last week there was a lot of information about what is happening there, how everything is happening there. at first it was more information coming from russian propaganda channels. today, volodymyr zelenskyi and oleksandr syrskyi speak directly about the fact that the armed forces forces of ukraine are conducting an offensive on enemy territory from... zelenskyi believes that the course operation of the armed forces of ukraine will be a disaster for putin's war against ukraine. let's listen to what and how the president of ukraine says? we see how russia is actually moving under putin. 24 years ago there was the kursk disaster, the symbolic beginning of his

reign, and now it is clear that kursk is also the end for him. the disaster of his war, as always happens with those who despise people and any rules. russia brought war to others, now it's coming home. ukraine i always wanted only peace, and we will definitely provide peace. mr. volodymyr, do you think that the kurdish operation will be a disaster for putin's war in ukraine. as a military man, i have no right to comment on the details of this operation. russia, but nevertheless, it has definitely become a shock, and this can be seen from the reaction of the kremlin, it can be seen, by the way, from the reactions of our allies, and once again the issue of the russian-ukrainian war became top news in the western media and, by the way, in asian ones as well, necessary, necessary to the planning of this

operation, and frankly speaking. glavkomma syrsky, because he took into account previous mistakes, having very limited resources, believe us, we feel this very well at the front in other areas, and it is very difficult for us, but nevertheless, he found these resources in order to make an absolutely lightning-fast, unexpected strike on russian territory. the war was moved to the territory of russia, this is probably the key meaning, we showed the worthlessness of the plow. of the kremlin regime have shown that we can easily seize russian territory and continue to do so, because if glavkom yesterday reported about 100 km, today the list of settlements has increased, and i understand that we also take into account russian mistakes, because our logistics are not stretched, but are connected to

the ukrainian border as much as possible, and we will not have problems with providing of our troops who are there on condition without unconditional support of the western allies, but the west also spread its wings, they are enthusiastic about this operation, we saw it both from the side of the americans who arrived in kyiv yesterday, as well as from the side of the western press, the german high factors consider nothing, have no problem, that the german leopards are now repeating the path of a century ago, and here we have unity in principle. on this issue, and we must not remember that we cannot have too much euphoria, this is a war, this is a very complex operation, it can then proceed in different ways, and we must be ready for any moments, but no less, what happened is definitely positive. against the background of the ukrainian offensive, mr. volodymyr,

the dictator putin declared that negotiations with ukraine cannot be held now, but keep in mind that putin... tried to explain that any efforts of the ukrainian side, the ukrainian army to attack kurshchyna, will not change their decision and their actions, let's listen to what putin said. it is now clear that it is now clear why the kyiv regime refuses our proposals to return to the peaceful settlement plan, as well as the proposals. interested and neutral mediators. apparently, the enemy wants to improve its negotiating position in the future. mr. volodymyr, that. what putin offered to ukraine was an ultimatum, in fact, it was a capitulation plan, to surrender three or four oblasts, plus crimea, to withdraw

the armed forces of ukraine from the donetsk, luhansk, kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, now it is said that, well, you see that ukraine does not want to accept our proposals , and consider our proposals, ukraine is now advancing to kursk. region will obviously deploy troops in the belgorod region, what does putin want? you know, it's hard to say unequivocally, but let's start from what putin has. putin clearly has problems with reserves. when they always emphasized that russia is infinite, both in terms of human potential and military potential, it was a bluff. we see that even a breakthrough in the kurdish region, they have nothing to cover. and are forced not to transfer new brigades, divisions, armies there, to bake them from other areas of the front, and they, frankly,

are not in the best condition, secondly, the russian economy is bursting at the seams, this is already stated by high factors of the russian federation, absolutely publicly and frankly, that things are going so well that soon everyone it will get worse, and... the third factor is that despite putin's attempts to cement russia from within, he succeeded through terror and intimidation and bribery. nevertheless, the situation when hundreds of russian, so-called conscripts are captured, is capable of undermining the consensus of the russian nation regarding the support of this war, because it is one thing when those who signed the contract are sent to the front voluntarily with absolutely it's another thing when young people suffer there to a point from the point of view of a russian citizen, and definitely

we see the reaction of china, which is also extremely concerned about the fact of striking a nuclear state, china's de facto ally, both de jure and de facto, and there is no answer, well... none, it was obvious that putin never nuclear weapons will not be used, but the fact that there was no reaction during the week, that is , in fact, it reminds me of such a paralysis, of the second world war, its next part from the 41st year, when stalin closed in himself and did not interfere at all in military operations during the attack of germany , so there was the same one here a situation where putin and the kremlin did not know how to react and what to do, they still... still hoped that it was just random drgs there, who came for a week or two to run around the russian territory, as it was last year, we see talk about the russian liberation army, or the red army, as it is called,

but the matter here is serious, we really, i see , are determined to transfer the war to the territory of the russian federation, and putin now has a very difficult history, but we also have a difficult history, we must do not forget that despite the fact that we captured 100 km of russian... territory, as was stated yesterday, today it is already more obvious, the russians have captured more than 100 km of ukrainian territory, therefore, knowing the russians, there will be no need to talk about some kind of equal exchange, the war will continue, but in russia there are fewer and fewer resources, when they say that they are ready to fight to the end, they are bluffing, another interesting reaction, mr. volodymyr, from our western partners. senators of the united states of america, richard blumenthal and lynsey graham, during their visit to kyiv, called the breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine in kursk region. let's hear what

the senators of the united states of america said. it's a massive breakthrough, it's good news, it's big news that promises even more potential breakthroughs. now the russians will retreat, they will take troops from other directions. they will use resources on this front that has been created, but the main news is that ukraine is now on russian territory. what i think about kursk, bold, bright, beautiful, keep it up. putin started it, and we should also help with weapons, so that the ukrainian military has weapons, necessary to win a war they cannot afford to lose. mr. volodymyr, will the position of our western partners change regarding the possibility of using western weapons on the territory

of the russian federation. because if ukraine has shown courage and skill in entering the territory of the russian federation, it means that the ukrainian army can go forward, but it needs weapons, western weapons, which will allow to consolidate successes, well, at least in the korsk region? well, any army can advance if it has enough to do so number of resources and prepared personally. composition, including the team, but when we talk about this situation, there are several aspects that should be focused on: first of all, over the last year, we again started to bring good news, and in particular from the battlefield, unfortunately, before that news there were not many such good ones, we were either bogged down in a positional war, and since the beginning of this year we have been constantly

retreating little by little. plus problems with corruption, problems with many other things, with the economy, with reforms that clearly stalled, they all created a negative background regarding ukraine for our allies, and sometimes it seemed that it was easier to just somehow look in some other direction, and not at ukraine. now the situation has changed, we see that ukraine is being taken over again, thanks to the situation with this operation in the kurdish direction. we see that the americans and europeans finally stop being afraid of putin and the kremlin, they understand that it is possible to strike on russian territory, to be on russian territory, it remains that it is still this nuance of the use of atakams and long-range german missiles, which it’s enough and they can’t convey it in any way, but german tanks can safely drive around the kursk region and there are many other weapons

of the west and... reaffirmed his commitment to democracy and his vision of reforming the american state, when he left the election, he messed up all the cards for trump, and we see camila gaining momentum and once again becoming the likely, likely winner of this presidential race, and it is shocking russian because all their plans and strategies, which were planned to reach by any means until november, and there we will somehow agree, can now be completely destroyed, in fact, i really hope that this wave raised by the armed forces of ukraine will now push our allies before they give us more weapons, because we need a lot of quality weapons in order to successfully attack, deploy them and hold on captured positions,

and secondly... we will finally see american veterans released from the ranks of the armed forces the united states, germany, other countries that will sit behind ukrainian f-16s, and there will be not dozens, but hundreds of them, and let's put an end to this war, it can all be done quickly, for this we need a lot of support from the west and a lot of dedication from the ukrainian authorities, so the course that they, about which they constantly talk, not in words, but... to show that we not only have the best armed forces in the world, but we have the best ukrainian government in the world and we have the best ukrainian reformers in the world, so that ukrainians took an example in everything, and not only in war. by the way, you mentioned corruption, the fact that our western partners are looking at what is happening in the ukrainian government, literally against the background of this successful course breakthrough, we saw how

delay... malin khabari, deputy minister of energy oleksandr hale, 500,000 dollars for solving issues related to the transfer of equipment from the east of ukraine to volyn, and three, uh, accomplices pass there, and the higher anti-corruption court chose preventive measures, as for this hale himself, and his accomplices, uh he is accused of receiving a bribe of... in the amount of 500 thousand dollars, well, it seems to me that somewhere around how much he has there, and they are asking as a bail alternative to bail instead of a pre-trial detention center, that is such corruption at such a high level, although they are talking about what the sbu says about the fact that the scheme was revealed with the help of the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko, which sounds a little strange, frankly speaking, that he has a deputy, and his boss reveals it. this bribery scheme.
