numbers, what are the armed forces of moldova, some experts said that they have less than a thousand, but the head of the office of the president of moldova said that they have about 500 military personnel, but this includes all border guards, and it is clear that these are not the armed forces with which moldova could operate, a large million moldovans there have romanian passports, but... definitely not fighters, moldova does not even stutter about a military attempt. georgians, they remember very well the events of 2008, and the georgian leaders were there, the ex-minister of foreign affairs was there affairs of georgia, the leaders of georgian political parties are there, they already have elections in the fall, and the current government, which is openly pro-russian, uses it very skillfully in georgia. this

syndrome of fear, and the president of moldova also spoke about it, that the russian, pro-russian forces, they always say that, what do you want, look at what is happening in ukraine, you want an escalation, you want you there, again , as ukrainians, the west used them, they never say that it was russia that attacked, russia never attacks, russia defends itself, and they use these fears, because every person, and especially georgians, they are traumatized by this... and part of moldova is occupied, and this is the core of russian propaganda, and therefore when there is no good news from the ukrainian front, this propaganda flourishes, but when the ukrainian army there is starting to beat the russians and inflicting huge losses on them, they are sitting there, but so far they are very effectively using this argument that it is better for us to have peace. "we need

peace, don't let the insidious west use you the way the west used the ukrainians, because this is war no no no ukraine and russia, this is the war of nato, america against russia by the hands of ukrainians, so says the russian propaganda. well, in the meantime, there is sociology, ukrainian sociology, that peace negotiations with russia are possible only after the liberation of absolutely all ukrainian occupied territories, 30 believe so." 2% of ukrainians are the results of research by the ilko kucheriv democratic initiative foundation, almost 20% of respondents agree for negotiations right now, another 19% agree only with negotiations on the release of prisoners, almost 18% do not see opportunities for negotiations with russia in general, well, against the background of this sociology, mr. olezh, andriy yermak together with rustam will fly to the united

states of america and they will present a map of possible strikes of american weapons on military facilities located on the territory of russia the federations will ask washington to allow them to launch attacks on these military facilities. is it possible to force russia into some kind of conversation by knocking out. of these critical infrastructure facilities, military facilities, does russia have sufficient resources for this some way to compensate, but not make concessions to the ukrainians there? well, russia is already feeling it, in particular, the ministry of state of russia has stopped giving figures on how much diesel is produced by the russian and...

economy, they simply classified this information, and this is the first time that this has happened, it is simply very revealing, it means that they have serious problems with the ability to even provide diesel engines, mainly blood, military equipment, they don’t run on gasoline, and those and the number of oil refineries and all kinds of reserves that are currently burning in russia, this is this definitely felt. they limited the export of fuel, they, they, this, this, this, this is something that is actively discussed by the russian community, but can this be the main, the only argument, i think not, but the russian authorities and russians, in particular experts, drew attention to the statement of lavov, who simply said directly, addressing the west, that if... you want a transition, then you must, if you

want all this to stop, so to speak, to stop the war, china started talking about cooling down the war, and not just there to pretend. that he is a dove of peace, i.e. key the players began to take certain steps, and here lavrov says that it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table and talk, well, this is a direct recognition that the russians are in pain, eh, they can, they have a rather high threshold of tolerance for this pain, but economically , they are reacting to exactly what ukraine is doing now, without having permission to use it. long-range and accurate missiles, but one can imagine what the losses will be for russia, and what the risks will be for russia if we receive such permission, well, in particular, what they say ukrainian experts, you can often see them in their studio, they call this problem

almost indeterminable, the presence of weapons and the possibility of using these high-precision weapons to destroy infrastructure, in particular aviation, that aviation. which practically strikes ukraine with impunity on a daily basis. mr. olezh, during the whole month, this august, we heard various statements from minsk, and oleksandr lukashenko and minister of defense khrenin talked about the fact that there is a threat from ukraine, that we will bring troops to our border, to the border with ukraine, we will defend ourselves just in case. today is the self-proclaimed president of belarus. declared that he would never give an order to attack anyone and fight outside belarus. let's listen to what lukashenko said. the same with regard to the ukrainian crisis, an absolutely clear, honest policy. here i am reading and sick of what i am reading, these reviews

of the world mass media. but lukashenko is that, and he is that. but he will give an order tomorrow, they will go there, no orders to go beyond our borders. mr. oleg, how would you rate lukashenko's current role in russian-ukrainian war? well, he is quite consistent, well, that's how many years we 've seen lukashenka, now, especially when this kurdish operation began, the russian media directly accused batko of being a brat there. that he removed the troops on the border from there and that the ukrainians simply see that there is no threat, and that is why the ukrainians transferred their forces to the border with belarus and allowed themselves to go there to the kursk region, then lukashenko pretended that

he would now be the only one who called on the cis countries to stand by there, because after russia, everyone they say we will fall there and he has driven a bunch of troops to the border there, to which our border guards calmly said that there are no signs that he is actually preparing an attack, but we understand very well, and lukashenko understands this, that as soon as he gives the order to his troops to attack ukraine, well, that's all, we don't have lukashenko, we don't have belarus, well, because lukashenko even knows the mood in his armed forces. and belarusian society is not russian society, so they may not have survived there, they have not achieved advocacy election results, but the mood of belarusians, and we all remember belarusian forests, belarusian partisans, so lukashenko perfectly understands that

this is the end of his regime and an attempt to somehow light the fire of war on the territory of belarus, it will be... it will be, that will be all, this will be the end of his regime, this will be the end of his political power, because the belarusians will not go, the belarusians will not carry out such criminal orders, and it is clear to him, and he is simply maneuvering like this, so he supports putin morally, but it is clear that he is not going to to use the armed forces to get involved in the war directly from ukraine. thank you, mr. olezh, it was oleg rybachuk, a politician and former vice prime minister of ukraine for european integration. friends, we continue to work live, literally in 3 minutes maksym rozumny, political

commentator, doctor of political science, will appear on our broadcast, meanwhile, let's watch a story about how the ground troops of the armed forces train. pilots of army aviation, and they train their skills on mi-24 and mi-8 helicopters. let's look at this plot. we are now in the mi-8 helicopter, i am the one in the pilot's office and we are doing a training flight. ukrainian pilots train to perform tasks on mi-24 and mi-8 helicopters. armored, transport and combat aircraft. before departure, they are carefully checked by engineers. a visual inspection is carried out, the serviceability and... reliability of mounting all units, all types of weapons is carried out, this is the cabin

of the crew commander, he controls are, let's say, standard, as in everyone, this cockpit is the pilot’s, well , according to the instructions, the instructions are here, the important thing is that one door opens to the right, and the other opens to the left, let’s say so that it would be possible to enter and exit in the event that, for example, the side to one side so that both pilots were not trapped. vladyslav has already made more than 200 sorties since the beginning of russia's full-scale war against ukraine. after the engineers, he conducts a pre-flight inspection. must check not only his workplace, but also the entire helicopter. the last ones preparations and the plane rises into the sky. the operator at his workplace. i'm shooting it to show what's near the helicopter. you definitely won't hear anything, the helicopter has already been started for 10 minutes, during

which absolutely all the units of the helicopter are checked, starting from the bender, ending with the rudders, we are preparing the youth for the successful destruction of the orcs that came to our land, as well as regular checks to maintain the level of readiness crews flying under the curtain, it is an imitation of flying in the clouds, where there is no visibility, where are we when we fly on the instruments, there will also be a pilot flight on duplicate instruments, this is an additional simulation of failure, failure in the clouds, failure of instruments, so that a person does not get lost, so that he knows what to do, where to look, how to pilot, that is why everyone is afraid when on a helicopter enters them, that is, it is more scary... than artillery, a special task is to practice flights at night, it is much more difficult

to fly at night, if it is some specific flights, it is very beautiful, but it is difficult to visually navigate, because you cannot see, you can navigate around some populated areas , lights and so on, plus, if there are any unusual situations, it is added to you in the note that you do not see. the ground, you need to orient yourself more by the instruments, and yes, well, it’s cool, it shakes less, there is less turbulence at night, because the ground is already evenly cooled, and actually flying at night is a thrill, the main task of our aviators is to cover the infantry, they strike at the location enemy, stop offensives and support assault actions. khrystyna parobiy, espresso tv channel. friends, we continue to work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for

those who are currently watching us live there, please subscribe to our pages, take part in our survey. today we ask you about whether you think the current system of government in ukraine is effective, yes, no, on youtube, or yes, or no, choose, or write comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 211 381 if you... consider the current system of government in ukraine to be effective no 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. i would like to introduce our guest, this is maksym rozumny, political expert, doctor of political sciences. mr. maksym, i congratulate you, thank you for being in our studio live today. good evening. well, today is an important date, maybe that's why you came to our studio, because today is 5 years since the moment. oaths of the current parliament, exactly 5 years ago on august 29

, a monomajority was created, people came to authorities, received almost all the power in ukraine, what were these 5 years like, did the idea of ​​the existence of a monomajority, monopower justify itself, what advantages did we get, what disadvantages? well, actually, the idea of ​​monopolies, it arose... i would say yes, spontaneously from the will of the voters, yes, therefore, in the system of power, in its construction, it is not laid out in such and such a format. although it is provided as one of the possible options, when we talk about a monomajority, it means that one political force in this case is the servant of the people, the servants of the people, if we call them in the plural, have received more than half of the mandates, that is, they can take, could take, now there are various considerations about it, any decisions,

regardless of other than constitutional, yes, except for changes to the constitution, and... this is, of course, the situation, i wouldn't say that it violates democracy in any way, it just puts more political responsibility on this political force, and these five years, if we are talking about them, then in the context of this particular political force and this situation of monomajority, then these 5 years are about how these powers and this great trust, this group... politically took advantage, but actually from this point of view, i think, can we say that ukraine lost this chance, because it is actually a unique chance, when the majority was in the verkhovna rada, the government was also the servants of the people, the president is the servant of the people, and that is, yes, it does not often happen after the presidential and parliamentary elections, because all the presidents who have been, they were forced

to enter into some alliances with someone, in which they have some kind of majority, to sell portfolios or . there cars to bring bribes to his associates, as it was in 2006, well, that is, whether this chance was used as it should have been, and in order to change the country, really, well , it is interesting to remember how it different things happened in our country, we remember a long period of confrontation between the parliament and the president, for example, in the times when oleksandr moroz was the chairman of the verkhovna rada, and leonid kuchma was the president, and kuchma spoke... about the fact that the reforms that he as if he declared that there was a pro-communist or such, that is, a reactionary majority in the verkhovna rada different situations, we had such that some of the deputies even went from the verkhovna rada to the ukrainian house, there they chose their own leaders, so to speak, and it was as

a result of such a peculiar approach that he was once appointed prime minister. viktor yushchenko. and, uh, there were different situations, it seems that now this is the unification of the parliament, it was after the orange revolution, when, you remember, yulia tymoshenko was appointed in the verkhovna rada, uh, prime minister , then even the regionals voted for her, dniester shufrych welcomed her. as as a rule, but history says that such situations are, uh... short-lived, that is, it still begins, we remember, the orange majority, which very quickly split into irreconcilable camps not for ideological reasons, but for personal reasons, this is the current situation, it shows what this group actually shows,

most likely, generally speaking, this political group was not ready for that power, for that one. what happened to her, of course, the war that began in 22, a large-scale war with the declaration of martial law, well this corrected the picture somewhat, that is, it is a different situation, but the way the situation developed until the 22nd year shows that internal contradictions began there, there were no, so to speak, clear guidelines chosen for society . clear and effective, well-thought-out programs, that's why they used it, how they used it, in fact, i think that on a personal level many people used it well, yes, but let's assume that the state probably executed at these moments in this, because really, when there are opportunities to adopt any laws, to lead

any changes, to carry out any reforms, to carry out any restructuring, then, in principle, for this, well, you need... those people who, well, relatively speaking, who have a vision, there is a vision of what is in their head there are these solutions, yes, and if they are not, then of course what comes out comes out, and we have what we have, volodymyr vetrovych says that the main problem of ukrainian democracy at the current stage is the loss of the political subjectivity of the verkhovna rada , he wrote on his facebook page, the main birth trauma of this convocation remains insurmountable the verkhovna rada of ukraine lost its political power. subjectivity, having turned into a remote subdivision of the president's office, such accustomed helplessness of the verkhovna rada significantly reduces the efficiency of work and the authority of the parliament, which is definitely a problem for the ukrainian state. will it be possible to overcome this lack of political subjectivity, and will certain institutions return, or shall we say, return their powers and their

power in the country after the change of the current government? well , i think there are institutional obstacles to this definitely not, we remember, everyone criticized, and by the way, i too, from so to speak, from an academic point of view, criticized the changes to the constitution adopted as a compromise in 2004, which set the stage for a conflict between the prime minister and president, but we saw, for example, that mykola azarov and viktor yanukovych completely overcame this problem, and now the current prime minister and the current president do not feel that there are any differences between them, that is , the problem is not in any institutional rules or inconsistencies. the problem is people's readiness, that is, the way out of the situation, it is there, where is the entrance, if we saw that people supported a certain idea, a certain image, but we live in

a world of images, clip, reality is like that, but they saw something attractive, but people gathered for it, well, as we see now , quite random, people who are not united by some ideology, people are not united by... a common vision, people are not ready to work together for the state, then the result is the same, but this means that in order not to to repeat this situation, we must, as a society, we must look at what is happening in politics, who is there bearer of real ideas and real programs, and to support those people, obviously, this is how much you evaluate zelenskyi’s behavior now and the evaluation of them... the current situation, well, i think you watched zelenskyi’s press conference, and well, you can say whether he is adequate makes

assessments of the present time, maybe he knows more than all of us together, and this is obviously so , and his assessments are connected precisely with this, how much he corresponds to the current situation and what needs to be done, well, that's the question you can give an answer from the point of view. some kind ideal model, or from the point of view, well, it is not productive, well, it does not fully correspond, but in principle, well, what he does, most of it, probably, anyone would do in his place, would convince our allies, eh well, he would hold meetings with the military, it's clear that he doesn't know much about military matters, he listened to those soldiers, talked to the government about where to get money, that is , anyone in his place would do the same, but if... . to compare, well , it would be more productive to talk, but do we have someone who would do it in zelenskyi's place it would be better, this is already such a complex and interesting

question, so far i don't have a ready answer to it, i don't see a person in the ukrainian political community now, well, as competence, which would be an order of magnitude higher than the legitimacy. everything else is fine, so we can judge zelensky one way or another, but it is more productive to understand that the war will end, all wars will end, martial law will be abolished, there will be a new election campaign, there will be new, there will be new presidential elections, and we need will make decisions, i.e. zelenskyi makes decisions at his level, we at ours, well, but look, obviously, well, if under her... the current president had a stronger prime minister, or a prime minister who would have more experience and knowledge, because in in principle, well, zelensky was and remains

a political neophyte, that is , in the sixth year of the presidency, judging by what he says in public and how he behaves with journalists and how he answers, he was and remains no neophyte, well he tries, but he remains a neophyte, that is, he has not gone far, relatively speaking he... zelensky model of 2019 and model of 2024 war, the leader of a country that is at war, of course, this is a slightly different status in the world arena, he has a different status, but purely in the state it looks like this, well, in principle, we have and how you say a small choice, but on the other hand, in 2019, we had a bigger choice, but zelensky won, who was incompetent, so well... there are two different questions here, the first question is about what the government could, the prime minister could be more independent and so on, well,

we don't have there... a prime minister who would lead country, but we see next to zelensky the figure of andriy yermak, who, so to speak, well , for many personifies that competence in various, so to speak, its modes and modalities, which the president obviously lacks at times, it is bad that this figure is a shadow, i.e. we don't know, so to speak, where this country is going, but we guess in whose hands this country is, you understand, that is, the situation is, you know, like nature, it is looking for a way out, and a blade of grass, it breaks through the asphalt, and the situation, so to speak, steers on how it should be, someone has to lead, but society is interested in the fact that this leadership and this control over the situation is public. legitimate and in

the interests of the ukrainian people. well, by the way, you mentioned andriy yermak. andriy yermak and rustem umeru flew to the united states of america in order to present a map of possible attacks by ukraine on the territory of the russian federation. cnn, with reference to an unnamed ukrainian deputy, reports that here are the ukrainians travel with this card. and we consider deep strikes, well, an unnamed source, an unnamed ukrainian deputy, is quoted, we consider strikes deep into russian territory by american weapons to be no more provocative than strikes by american weapons to russian territory near the border, and it doesn’t matter how deep russian territory is located goals, - the ukrainian deputy explained to the newspaper, i have, well , there are no questions about rustem umyarov, who left with this card, but if it is already a matter

of striking ... weapons attacks, then why this at all the map is not taken to washington by the head of the armed forces of ukraine, because this is generally his direct competence, this is what he manages, what he is responsible for, or in this case we see andrii borysovich yermak acting as a backup for volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi? i think that i think that i would like to note right away that i really like it, i am happy that ... commander-in-chief syrsky did not go anywhere, and there he controls the situation at the front, in general, it is so, at least it is calmer, well, yes, it's somehow calmer for us in the rear, huh in general, this situation with the fact that we went with the map, to be honest, it reminds me a little of some kind of trolling, that is, it shows the absurdity of these restrictions imposed by the americans, that our representatives are already going to show the map, although it is possible, maybe in

this. .. there is a reason and it will convince someone, the fact that andriy yermak is in the composition does not surprise me at all, because he has been performing the role of such a representative, a deputy of the president for a very long time, who sometimes in the foreground overshadows, for example, the minister of foreign affairs affairs or other public persons, that is, the situation is developing as it can develop. thank you, mr. maksym, it was maksym rozumny, political expert, doctor of political sciences. friends, during the entire broadcast we conducted a survey, we asked you about whether you think the current system of government is effective, the results of the television survey: 4% yes, 96% no. we put an end to this, friends, i say goodbye to you until tomorrow, tomorrow we will have valery chaly on the air in the first part of our program, and the traditional friday journalism club
