at the airfields of the voronezh, kursk, and bryansk regions, how the offensive of the ukrainian army in kurshchyna is taking place now in the current conditions, and of course we will talk about crimea and about the prospects of how and when the peninsula will be liberated, throughout our in the first hour of the broadcast, we will have three guests, two people's deputies of ukraine, akhtem cheygos and valentina alevachenko, and a former minister. of foreign affairs of ukraine pavlo klimkin. in the second part of our program, which will start in exactly one hour, we will have two political experts, volodymyr fesenko and oleksiy koshel. however, before starting our big conversation today, i suggest you watch the video of the consequences of the air defense strikes on russian airfields that took place during the last night, and the russian resources claim that the shield was shot down. 117

drones in eight regions of russia, but many drones still achieved their goals, military airfields in voronezh, kursk, savasleyka and borisoglebsk were affected. let's watch this video. come on guys. now the sound will die down, glory will come to the defense forces of ukraine and death to the russian occupiers. friends, we conduct polls throughout our broadcast. today we ask you. about this, will the

servant of the people party support the banning of the russian orthodox church in ukraine? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have a separate opinion, please write it in comments under this video. if you're watching us on tv, you'll now see the phone numbers you can vote on on the screen. 0800 211 381, if you believe that the servant of the people party supports the ban of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, if you don't, 0800 211 382. i would like to introduce today's first guest, it is... valentyn nalyvaichenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the parliamentary committee on of ukraine's integration with the eu, head of the security service of ukraine, twice in 2006, 10, 2014, 2015, mr. valentin, i congratulate you, thank you for your evening, glad to see you, well, let's start with the attack of the defense forces on airfields, military airfields, and one of these airfields is savasliyka, from where these mig-31k planes take off quite often, either armed

with daggers, or we suspect that there are daggers and declare endless air alarms, here is what russia says about 117 downed drones. this means that we have more opportunities to attack military airfields, this is somehow connected with the events in kurshchyna, that is, we have gone deeper into russia and from there we can inflict these strikes, this is due to the fact that our armed forces of ukraine really have more opportunities, since these are drones, this is guidance, this is special equipment, but also the second, i think, even more important, is that our servicemen, our defenders have mastered such modern equipment and are able to now consider striking the enemy on his own territory 650 km to savasleika to this most dangerous military airfield for us , from which you absolutely rightly mentioned the mig 31 together with daggers and together with

this threat, because every alarm during working day, for example, it is usually 90% connected with the evils of migu on the 31st, and with savasli. i think that, in principle, today's attack is so serious, and with the guidance of all, or even in nine regions of the russian federation, from the armed forces of ukraine, it demonstrated first of all to the enemy, as well as to the whole world, that our military knows military goals, our the armed forces know how to get there, it 's just a question that we leave for ourselves in the work, i mean here more work with international partners, which i do. it still is receive more long-range weapons, including missiles, not only drones, and permits, quite rightly, serhiy, permits for the use of those missiles that are already at the disposal of the armed forces of ukraine, because we have clearly just returned from negotiations,

it is no secret that more than one american delegation in europe quite often, but now we have been working with american partners these days, the main argument for them, from me, is in russian missiles... there are your spare parts, components, even chips are sometimes found, there are, well, that’s nothing hide what they are enter illegally, through third countries, we hope the sanctions will be tougher, this is good, but not enough, it will be enough for us, give permission to use long-range missiles legally obtained from you, mastered by the armed forces of ukraine, because as soon as our servicemen mastered them, it is already our weapon, it is already our decision, it is already... legally on the basis of bilateral international agreements, the means of defense of the country and protection of citizens have been obtained, the main argument for our international partners that we want to use and we will use long-range weapons, first of all, missiles to protect the civilian

population, energy, foreign embassies, by the way, in kyiv and everything that needs to be protected during the war. the so -called kursk breakthrough, that is, force, has been going on for 7 days. defense forces have entered the territory of the russian federation and are pushing the enemy deep into russia, is this a sufficient argument for our western partners to allow the use of other equipment and other weapons already on the territory of russia? now , dear tv viewers, the main argument i gave is this the main argument is the protection of peaceful cities and towns of ukraine, it is the protection of the civilian population, hospitals, schools, this is the main argument, and the operation which... is now successfully carried out by the armed forces of ukraine as an offensive, as a counteroffensive in the kurdish direction, it has more, if you want, from me, what the whole world now recognizes, has more political and international, international-political consequences and

results, and with this you can and should congratulate the armed forces of ukraine. in short, there are already two international results, they are on surface kadyrivtsi reported today. in the morning , oleksandr syrskyi, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, reported to zelensky that the court was under the control of the armed forces of the russian federation and said that the city judge in the korsk region was under full control of the armed forces. let's listen to what syrsky said. groups of defense forces will continue to conduct an offensive operation on the territory of the kuzsk region, at the beginning of the current day, troops will be deployed in separate directions. from one to 2 km, search and destruction completed of the enemy in the settlement of suja, at the beginning of the day, more than 100 enemy servicemen were taken prisoner, by the way, about these prisoners that syrskyi mentioned,

more than 100 servicemen were taken in just one day, but zelenskyi said that hundreds of russian servicemen appear in kurdish. direction, we will also listen to the supreme commander, we are increasing the territory of active operations, the chief reported that our forces control 74. four settlements in the kurt region, thank you to every soldier, to every commander who ensures this, thank you again and to all our guys who replenish the exchange fund, this is very important for our country, already hundreds of russian soldiers have surrendered and they all receive humane treatment, they are treated like this even in their own russian army they didn't have, oh... the special operation of ukraine, it was a surprise for the russians, apparently, and there were a lot of prisoners, including

how, mr. valentin, the ukrainians managed to ensure secrecy, secrecy, and whether in this situation russian spies , maybe did not report to the supreme commander-in-chief about what was happening in the sumy region. i think that the most important thing is that the armed forces of ukraine really worked professionally, a secret. the military kept up even when the operation was in fact ongoing and the counteroffensive in the kurdish direction began, this is the first time, secondly, i believe that this is very correct, and we should have banned all kinds of politicians and pseudo-experts, you know, from commenting, pointing and pointing at our defenders a long time ago the enemy with you know, as in order to hype or to promote and create a picture that supposedly someone knows something, should know, and it is true, knows now what is happening. this is the commander-in-chief, if you ask me, i believe commander-in-chief syrskyi and i know that he

says what, in fact, what combat work is currently being performed by the armed forces of ukraine, but in addition to military secrecy, professionally, since nato troops are fighting, this time the armed forces they also showed two more things, this is maneuverability and mobility, this is already a modern army, our armed forces carry out this attack, counterattack and the whole operation is extraordinary. mobile and maneuverable, these are the signs of such a, you know, already professional, well -trained army, and using modern means of warfare, because modern means are not just a drone, it's not just one took off, looked, no, it was it was planned, there were whole swarms of drones working before the mobile groups came in, then a maneuver, then the drones are working again, well, we will not reveal a military secret, but with... in terms of the content and form of the work of the armed forces in the territory on the

in the kurdish direction, i authoritatively declare that this is a modern army with modern methods of conducting combat operations, as for one of the results that is really very important, it is that russian soldiers are surrendering en masse, this is true, that is, it is an absolutely unmotivated army, this myth was destroyed by the armed forces of ukraine about the alleged power of the russian army, about their motivation. and so on, those who do not receive millions and are not mercenaries in the armed forces of russia surrender and surrender en masse in the armed forces forces of ukraine. this, by the way, is one of the military results that the armed forces of ukraine have already achieved. that is, putin, having brought his army to ukraine, and after 2.5 years of the great war, got a negative result, that is, he actually destroyed the myth of the second army of the world, that russia. a super power, he is a super authoritative person in the world who can influence

any events, well that is how, how would you characterize the result that russia got as a result of this, forgive me and let's say it like it is, in fact, no simply the armed forces destroyed the power of the russian army, not only conscripts and not only surrendered, and, by the way , almost a thousand of them, even more fell, but i think that the general staff will announce the numbers then... niches, they mean captured servicemen of russia, but the most important thing, from the international political result, is that all countries, especially countries neighboring russia, saw that there are no borders, nor this army, with which putin and his regime intimidated all neighboring countries and the whole world, the most important thing disappeared, the fear of the neighbors disappeared, especially countries in front of russia, which... first of all, conquered many territories, starting from finland and ending with japan, this is if

you take the contour of the perimeter of all the borders of russia, so from japan, mongolia, china and further all the way to europe, everyone saw that the policy of intimidation and occupation of the territory of putin and putin's russia is over, but remember, neither putin nor his regime will ever again succeed in intimidating the world and other countries and... destroyed this myth, the armed forces of ukraine, there is no doubt, mr. valentin, throughout the last ones two years ago and putin and medvedev quite often repeated that they have, in accordance with their nuclear doctrine and... security doctrine, they use these weapons in case there is a threat to their territorial integrity or a part of the territory, and judging by the fact that that a week has passed, they still haven't decided whether to defend themselves with nuclear weapons against ukrainians or not, they introduced the regime of the so-called counterterrorist operation, what does that mean, they don't want to declare a regime

or a state, a state of war and a state of war with ukraine. tv viewers, why does putin act like this and this conclusion is one more and he will explain to the honorable alcoholic medvedev and others regarding the counter-terrorist operations in the three regions that have already been announced, namely kursk, bryansk. and belgrade, and because they announce kto, because they cannot protect their own citizens inside the country, they cannot, and it was all, you know, a bluff and a lie to apply something more than they had, but the most important thing is that in case of recognition and military introduction of martial law, putin will be forced

to announce mobilization, he cannot cannot announce, even mobilize. already on specific professional matters, look at how many conscripts immediately surrendered, this is only at the border, imagine, if we give such conditional figures even, 200,000 will be mobilized in the event that putin or his military-political leadership recognizes that this is martial law, how many of them will immediately surrender, i say at once, at least 10%, can you imagine the scale of the catastrophe to which putin led, led, led all these years of war against ukraine, russia, and he continues to lead it there. and sergey, if you are me if you ask, then they have no good scenarios left, no matter what they do now, only worse, worse and worse, and leads to the disintegration and collapse of russia itself. therefore, my main conclusion is that it is putin, his decisions and his war against ukraine that are destroying russia itself. look even at the so-called evacuation, or rather, at its absence in

the russian federation, even in the kursk region. why wasn't the civilian population evacuated? why did they make it up and really, you are right, for several days they did not know what to say, then voluntary evacuation, then none at all no evacuation, now they figured out how to hide the residents of the kursk region, sending them all the way to us in the zaporozhye region, so that they would not tell other relatives in russia, who were abandoned by the government, abandoned by the military, abandoned by everyone, and they were left without any protection at all , despite the fact that putin's regime feeds all this with its... propaganda that we will protect you, you obey us here, we are the government, we guarantee you everything that they guarantee, they guarantee that everyone broke up and abandoned their own citizens, and now the ukrainian military guarantees and they are doing humanitarian law correctly, observing humanitarian corridors, so in those territories where the armed forces are now for the residents of the kursk region, please, a humanitarian

corridor, if you want to leave in that direction, if you want to leave for ukraine, leave, well, regarding the humanitarian... corridor and how ukrainian servicemen should administer these territories, which are currently under the control of the armed forces, zelenskyi also spoke today, he spoke with the shoemaker, with the government about what to do with the head of the armed forces of ukraine, what should be created military commanders who will administer and ensure order on the territory of the kursk region, which is under our control, the creation of such commanders, what does this mean, that is... does this mean that temporarily the power in these territories will come under the control of ukraine? i think that it should be left to the decision of our military, the general staff, the armed forces of ukraine, what and where to create, because now our defenders are performing much more difficult combat tasks, and it is necessary, i believe, to worry about their lives, about the success of the operation, about their support

is daily, because it is already the ninth day, in fact, of the counteroffensive of the armed forces. in the kurdish direction, and look at the other directions, there is also very active combat work going on, and we need to support the armed forces more than ever now, this is what i call on everyone who is watching us now, and by the way, let's note that the kurdish direction and the kurdish the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine raised so many donations from the citizens of ukraine, raised the morale even higher in the armed forces, these are also two results that we can only be proud of, but returning to the international humanitarian issue... in fact, as a professional lawyer, i tell you that this is correct, and the ukrainian armed forces have been following the principle even on the territory of the kursk region from the very first day. half of international humanitarian law, well, there are several conventions, including the geneva convention, but most importantly, the main postulate is that civilians are not targets,

civilians, full respect for movement, residence and so on, that is, the armed forces of ukraine perform exclusively combat missions and destroy exclusively military targets of the country the aggressor, defending ukraine, that is, we , the armed forces, did not just go there, you know, because there was nothing to do, but you told me before the broadcast that you yourself were born in the sumy region, how many schools, roads, and people were killed there by the aggressor. people, just, you know, yes, in an animalistic way, because they could bring artillery and mortars under the border, and they didn’t just bring them, but they fired at the peaceful cities of ukraine in the sumy region for 2.5 years, that’s why the armed forces defending ukraine, in the armory the forces of ukraine fought back and continue to fight back, squeeze out the enemy away from our borders, this is what the meaning is for international law and for you and me, yes, unfortunately, my native school, where i studied, was also affected, so unfortunately, but

i hope that we will rebuild and repair it , another topic, mr. valentyna, is the redeployment of troops by the russians, and this is what the minister of defense of lithuania, laurinas kaschunas, is talking about, he says that the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region forces the russian... ministry of defense to redeploy the troops that are in kaliningrad to kenissbergi. let's listen to what the defense minister of lithuania said. we now see how they are redeploying their troops from kaliningrad to kursk, and i say to the lithuanian people, you look at how ukrainians are fighting for you, because because of their struggle, they need to withdraw their troops from kaliningrad, and we even call it.. putin is trying to solve something and is transferring

troops from kaliningrad, and lukashenko suddenly announced that ukraine is threatening belarus and is pulling up here, they announced that they are pulling up tanks, iskanders, as well as anti-aircraft guns that were inside the country closer to the ukrainian border. putin and... in this story, which is now unfolding before our eyes, to create some additional problems for ukraine, on the northern front, after all, we have a 1,100 km border with belarus, the chernihiv region, that is, to what extent is putin capable of doing what created we would have certain problems in kurshchyna, and in the eastern and southern directions. let's completely expose this bluff, including, remember, the csto, putin created, talked about how it is an organization

of the collective security agreement of the former ussr countries, the cis, where russia presides, belarus is included, turkmenistan, kazakhstan, kyrgyzstan, uzbekistan, all are included, armenia, of course, pashinyan quickly understood, you were the first to leave there even before the kurdish offensive, and with the kursk offensive... none of the csto countries is going to defend russia, that is why putin collapsed the csto, as you know, in the second, third year of the war with ukraine. further, as far as belarus is concerned, even belarus, even lukashenko, did not and will not allow his troops to defend or fight in kursk oblast, which is directly stipulated by their alliance agreement. instead, what he does, he does the movement of troops, as usual, to avoid at least any participation. at least in some way in the armed, you know, armed actions against the armed forces of ukraine, so i regard this as the first thing that lukashenko abandons putin and is not

going to use his troops, although this is provided for directly in the agreement, despite the fact that you see how the armed the forces of ukraine are advancing seriously every day, including in various directions, both western and eastern, but my second conclusion is that... an imitation or even the movement of troops is you know how to turn a blind eye, show putin, you see, i’m here on my territory, so i can’t give it, that is, lukashenko is bluffing, bluffing and not giving his thanks, mr. valentin, it was valentin nalyvaichenko, people’s deputy of ukraine, former head of the security service of ukraine. after a short story, friends, we will return to the studio, we will be in touch with akhtem cheygoz, people's deputy of ukraine, and for now, watch the story about how lviv teenagers from school years learn to defend their homeland. teach military affairs and tactical medicine. national and patriotic education was held at the lviv lyceum named after heroes krut. our correspondents talked with the participants. with the national anthem of ukraine

and the military parade , the national-patriotic education at the lviv lyceum named after heroes krut begins, young activists, members of public organizations and youth councils gathered here. we all understand what situation ukraine is in now, we are waging a war, the end of which is not yet in sight, and we must be ready for our whole country, all the people to defend their state. with the fact that the youth also joined the ranks of the armed forces in order to prepare myself, to be able to protect both myself, my relatives and loved ones, and in general our entire nation. the participants were divided into eight groups, for which training was prepared in medical, tactical and military matters. the youth learned how to fly drones, run an obstacle course, play paintball, shoot air and laser weapons, and detect explosive devices. they will now

see for themselves what is happening here. in itself, it will acquire some practical skills for its further use directly in hostilities, if one associates himself with a military cause. the special forces of the omega unit explain to the students how to load different types of grenade launchers and rifles. activist roman vykhopan tests a sample of american-made anti-tank weapons. now military training is the most important. because given today's realities, you need to be always ready for any events and you always need to have a certain amount of knowledge so that any emergency situation does not become fatal. while some students exercises with quadcopters to nearby locations, teenagers listen to instruction in tactical medicine, they are shown how to stop bleeding. about the turnstile.

everyone should know here, i think, because in case of something, some kind of bleeding is strong, a tourniquet will be needed first of all, so i think that medicine is very important for young people. first, we had a small briefing, where we were shown which functions, which buttons are responsible for, how to take off, turn off the drone in general, and so on, and then everyone had the opportunity to play with the drone, try it on their own experience schoolchildren and students are instructed by the lyceums themselves. you can say that we are now helping them how to shoot correctly, showing them so that, well, they don't point a weapon at anyone, well, we have to explain it to them, i don't think that every one of them can know it. the military-patriotic school was organized by the lviv regional council. the teenagers learned how to work in a team, respond to danger and handle weapons. kateryna oliynyk, roman kovalyuk, espresso tv channel. friends, we continue to work live on

, we are witnesses. the deployment of a kurdish special operation with the armed forces of ukraine, zelenskyi says that the events in kurdistan are a disaster for putin's russia, can this disaster be accelerated by putin, the liberation of crimea from the russians, in my opinion, the disaster began when no one knew about this operation on kurdsk, the direction of kurdsk. because before that, everyone was talking in tongues and what was needed and what was not needed, and all this came from the entourage of president zelensky, this really came as a surprise to everyone, and first of all to putin and his gang, god forbid, let there be such a thing in crimea a surprise, because well, sorry.
