you see how the third day is burning in rostov oblast. the fire at the rostov oil depot still cannot be extinguished. the fire has already covered more than a dozen fuel tanks. earlier, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine confirmed the attack on the kavkaz plant. oil and oil products were stored there for the occupiers. let's see. what's going on there now, run away, there will be victims, oh-my, wow, that's already bad, it's not scary. now they're all going crazy, let's get out of here, it's hot already, everything,

free, vote, at the end of the program we will summarize it. voting. we have our first guest, roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence. colonel security services of ukraine. mr. colonel, i congratulate you, thank you for joining the broadcast. good evening. mr. colonel, since we are asking our tv viewers about this law, which was adopted today by the verkhovna rada in its final version, in its final version. i would like to ask you, as well as... i ask our tv viewers, will the russian orthodox church stop its activities in ukraine after the adoption of this law? well, this is a very important step, and this, let's say, the parliament confirmed that it recognizes the danger of the russian orthodox church in ukraine, and it must cease its activities unequivocally, but if speaking precisely from a legal point of view, whether

it will cease to exist tomorrow, then no, there are procedures that must be carried out, where there... specifically there, the commission must prove that they are prohibited in our country, it is not specifically written about the rps, in our country all religious organizations whose center is in the country of the aggressors are prohibited, but for now this task will be to prove that the russian orthodox church or its leaders there, let's say, they are the center of ukraine's aggressor, for us it is clear, but we understand what it proved since the 14th year, and there are legal points where they tried in the courts prove that they already exist independently. church, it's like, you know, an instinct of self-preservation in them, that we will give up russia for the time being, let's say that we are the church of ukraine. therefore, if everything is done correctly, if there is a principled position of the political authorities, if there is a political, principled position of the special services, then i think so. mr. colonel, explain to me, please,

why in the conditions of war, if a church, any church or religious organization that is loaded. national security and defense cannot be closed, its activities cannot be terminated, given that it harms the national interests and security of ukraine. well, first of all, we have a constitution that allows and ensures freedom of speech for everyone, and secondly, once again, here is a big question for the security service, which must prove that this entire religious organization carries such consequences on... specifically some parish, or some priest who is there, and this is how the legislation is written, that is why the decision was made directly to implement it in the law, that the entire religious organization, the center of which is in the country of the aggressor, it should be banned in ukraine, so now i think that this whole mechanism will be developed under this, let's say this, how it will be banned and how

this law will be implemented, i say once again, it will now depend on, well first of all, the president must... sign it, i hope he will do it, and secondly, this is already a matter of implementing this draft law, that is, the verkhovna rada has done its job, now the matter is for the president and the president's office, we understand that all special services there are basically executive the government, it is directly linked to the president's office, that's how everything works for us now, so if it, if there are issues here , everyone knows where to go and who to ask. today, colonel, the verkhovna rada of ukraine adopted a law on the status of military personnel fighting on the territory of the russian federation, which guarantees them the same payments and preferences as on the front lines. briefly, what does this law change? well, it was forbidden in our country, we understand, we have a doctrine of defense, and we had, let’s say,

fight, our military only fights on the territory of our own state, but we understand that the format. hostilities is changing in order to impose its initiative on russia, inflict losses on them and conduct asymmetric actions, and the operation in the kursk region is just an example of asymmetric actions, we are forced to seize russian territories, occupy them and hold them so that we can was somehow to influence the situation, so now we, let's say, not what we legalized, confirmed the status of our military, those who are in that territory, this is a formal history for that... that these military personnel are protected by law, mr. colonel, last week you visited kurshchyna, were in the combat zone, where actually... this kurdish arc, the new kurdish arc, is being formed, and what are your impressions of what you saw, how much it contrasted with what you saw in the east and

south, in the east in the 14th year, in the south in 2022, that is, how did the hostilities on the territory of the russian federation differ from the hostilities in the east and south of ukraine? well, military actions in general on the territory of ukraine differ from military actions on the territory of the russian federation. we can also speak in the east, when we conducted an anti-terrorist operation, when the separatists who were supported by the russians there also used the local population, we remember who stopped our convoys there, and in particular it was the ukrainians who were there, let's say this , with their vision and the fact that the russians supported them, they raised this separatism and... they were, let's say, guided by the russians, but they went out and stopped these columns. then, when the war began, uh, full-scale in the 22nd, everyone already

in those territories where the russian federation invaded, our entire population came out, we remember this kind of rise, of our country, which, starting from handing over the coordinates of the russians, ending, i pour... pouring molotov cocktails and everyone else there, support, queues to the military leaders, everything was like this, then the whole of ukraine looked like such a defensive impulse, what was happening in the russian federation, well , our troops just went in, came into contact with military personnel, russian, conscripts somewhere, fsb soldiers somewhere, someone were destroyed, someone was taken prisoner and they started to move on, i... did not see or hear any stories about the fact that somewhere there the local population resisted or

went out into the streets, how our tanks were stopped there hands with ukrainian flags, none of the civilian population of the russian federation resisted, on the contrary, well, here is the story that there are such villages near... the border and such, as you can call them, they call them tsarist villages, customs officers, border guards fed there , there was such an elite, then when they were the first to flee, and ordinary local residents, which there, of course yes, the middle class remained there, or below the middle class, then they, you know, in principle, often we, well often, let’s say, the military watched, looting looting, then they, they made a good living there in their e neighbors in the past, that is why such a story was observed, but no one opposed the defense forces of ukraine, in general, maybe some single ones, i do not know about them, but in general, well, i

do not know of a single case, mr. colonel, how real is the creation of a buffer zone on the chicken, which verkhovny talked about the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, and the maintenance of this buffer zone, it is obviously not only about the kursk region. obviously, we are talking about belgorod oblast, voronizka and bryansk, because these are on the most critical lines of the ukrainian-russian border, and they are probably the least vulnerable, because the combat zone is from kharkiv oblast and across from sumy oblast, ending there in zaporozhye oblast there or in the donetsk region, in principle, this is a very large front line, how realistic is it to keep what was taken, ukrainian defenders have now taken over, and

the expansion of this buffer zone, well, along the entire border, look, you can’t say that here, but just how realistic it is in general, but as of now, for example, it is realistic, for example, if the enemy withdraws all his combat-capable troops tomorrow from the eastern direction and cinema. there, of course, we will have to reinforce there, so everything will depend on many factors, what are the forces of the enemy, what are the means of the enemy, what are our reserves, what are our opportunities to replenish ourselves with ammunition, mobilization resources and all that, this with regard to the kurdish direction, if we talk about the creation of an entire zone and such a sanitary one along the entire border, this requires huge funds, even russia, i think, will not be able to afford it under the conditions, if we do a normal... against, because it is thousands of kilometers of the border, and if you keep combat-capable troops there, who will be able to resist, not such conscripts as the russians, who , thanks to our combat

brigades, are enough, let's say ... for sure, then this requires serious forces and means, which in russia has shown that they do not have them, they are using them right now in the pokrovsk region, where they are under pressure, i think that the issue of the sanitary zone is, well, such, if you can say, the trolling of our president towards putin, which we remembered, was the first declared after bilhorodchyna, where the russian volunteer corps worked, declared that russia would create a sanitary zone, i think that... our president, as a person who knows humor, simply trolled him in the way you wanted, and we did, because it looks like that now, of course, there joking, joking, but our military there are conducting serious offensive and active actions, which are bearing these fruits, i think that the consequences of the kurdish operation are already there, but the main consequences are yet to come, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy explained, mr.

colonel, that. .. kyiv did not warn the world about the preparation of the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine in kursk oblast, because it could seem unrealistic. let's listen to what zelensky said. a few months ago, many people in the world would have heard that we were planning just such a thing operation, would say that it is unrealistic and that it is the intersection of the supposedly reddest of all red lines that exist. in russia, that is why, in fact, no one has heard of such our training, and now the real success of our soldiers speaks for itself, our active defensive actions, the other side of the border and putin's inability to protect his territory from such defensive actions of ours are very eloquent. mr. colonel, in russia there remains one valid

argument, which until now they have not supported in the war against ukraine, and in general in any wars, and this is nuclear weapons. when only the great russian-ukrainian war began, and when the ukrainians talked about the fact that we would liberate crimea, then putin and medvedev, his inner voice and his outer voice repeated that if there is an attack on our country and a part of our territory is captured, or part of our territory will go to ukraine, alluding to crimea. then maybe we will use nuclear weapons, are we ready at the current stage, according to your opinion, all these kremlin brothers are ready, after all, to press the red button and go to that the red line beyond which the united states of america and china convince them not to cross? well, we can't rule anything out,

because this is the russian federation, we also thought that... they are ready to make a full-scale invasion in the 21st century, we see that they are ready, are they ready to hit the civilian population with missiles, we we see that they are ready to demolish everything there, to kill children, we see that russia can do all this, throw their people into assaults without reason and kill thousands in a day, they can also therefore, to exclude and now say that 100% they will not be able to, i would not, that you are right geopolitically, many countries that i... think warned them about this, including such big players as china and the united states states, and when we talk about the consequences, i just don't know what the consequences could be, if i were in the place of the united states and understood that russia can use nuclear weapons, even tactically, there it is not so super destructive, there it is there isn't any, that 's why tactical weapons are not super destructive,

there is kilometer by kilometer. it can destroy there and everything that is there, or not everything that is there, but destructively, that is why it can say that putin can use something so small to show that he is ready to continue to escalate, so of course, here it would be important for our diplomats and, for example, for our partners, to say that, look, the budapest memorandum was signed, and if it comes to ukraine, you can fight there with conventional weapons, this is the right of ukraine, we help them, you have your own weapon a lot. you will get out more, but if weapons are used in ukraine, within the framework of the budapest memorandum, we will transfer to ukraine equivalent ammunition, which will be used on the territory of ukraine, for example, tactically, we will transfer from europe tactically, and we will transfer ourselves, and i think that such a fuse, it would play a key role if our partners would say about it, there is nothing like that here, here about intentions to fulfill the commitments that were made.
