the approach to the next target with one of the planes was communication was lost, as reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, it became clear that the plane crashed, the pilot died, a special commission of the ministry of defense of ukraine was appointed to find out the causes of the accident, which works in the area where the plane fell. it is interesting that this news, that the f-16 crashed, was first reported by foreign mass media, the wall street journal submitted this information, it was the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine that caught up with this information and made this information public. they write about the fact that colonel oleksiy mes died, this a ukrainian pilot who did an incredible job to get ukraine from f-16 fighters, and today they said goodbye to him, you see, these are pictures. farewell to the pilot,

he was posthumously awarded the rank of colonel, obviously the details of this plane crash will be a little later, well , we will follow the news reports. i would like to introduce today's first guest, ihor lapin, major of the armed forces of ukraine, special agent, people's deputy of ukraine, 8th convocation. mr. igor, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. glory to ukraine. glory, we started with this tragic news about the plane crash and the f-16 disaster, the details have not yet been reported, and the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, and the general staff, but as a person who has been closely related to aviation for a long time, you surely well, you understand that in the conditions of war , anything can happen, including with the f-16, that is , we hoped that it would be... some kind

of lifeline for the armed forces of ukraine and a powerful shield, but what could happen in this situation, that is, it is possible that the pilots do not they were so experienced or they didn't work enough on these machines, some versions can be made public, or well guessed, look, i honestly don't allow a pilot's mistake, because at least this is no longer a young pilot who graduated yesterday. i learned to fly from the academy and retrained on the f-16, so something to me, well, let’s put it this way, i don’t want to catch up now, of course let them conduct an investigation, but to me it’s more like friendly fire, that is, friendly fire, especially since, well, to what extent i understand the pilot wasn't even able to eject so if to say that when entering the second circle, that they lost contact and the pilot died, that is , let's put it this way, if everything was fine with the pilot, he would have catapulted. and if he

couldn't do it, it could be, well, sorry, let's put it this way, it's, well, it's my guess, let the investigation show, of course, but you know what i noticed in the context of this news? so, the united states did not ask the lockhead flight center to train ukrainian pilots , even despite the problem with the terms of training in own training centers, and this has just been reported by company representatives, it is lock martin's european pilot training center in romania, which recently graduated the first batch of eight pilots, f16 fighters and is about to start training new ones, and they say they are ready to expand.. . the number of pilots that can be released during the year to more than 30 and 40, that is, you can imagine, but nevertheless , for some reason, our partners did not apply in this context for ukrainian pilots to study in romania, and this leads me to think that

you know, this savior that everyone here prayed to god for, but no matter how cool our pilots are, no matter how cool those f-16s are, the russians have a total advantage in the sky. be that as it may, the russians fly about 400 boards, and ten of us want to cover something, we will not cover missile attacks with 10 boards, we will not achieve dominance in the sky with ten boards, and most importantly, the loss of a board is compared to that the loss of a pilot is a completely different thing, so if we do not continue the training of our pilots, not there will be new sets, so is this a one-time promotion? how to understand it? well, i can’t yet, i don’t have such an explanation, of course, this should be the work of our diplomacy, but i emphasize once again, taking into account the military rank, i saw the same photo as you, the age of this pilot, i don’t think it is could have been a pilot error, all the more so,

again with the absence of the russian air force in the air, it is meant, that is, missiles, shahedis, well, i have something, let's say, i want to make a mistake, but... i'm still thinking about friendly here fire, well we are waiting for the official results of this investigation, i think that there will definitely be one and the public will be informed about it, because this is the first f16 plane that was destroyed in the sky of ukraine, and it is this too, or it suffered a plane crash, the reasons must obviously be all - still named in some perspective, mr. major, let's talk about what is happening now in... kurshchyna and zelenskyi has already spoken and syrskyi has spoken about the fact that we want to push back the enemy and create a buffer zone in kurshchyna, will the ukrainians succeed just try to create this one buffer zone, but also keep? just

before your broadcast on my youtube channel lapin from ukraine, we discussed this topic with yury lutsenko, we came to the conclusion that, well... the first thing is that we have now actually added another 300 km of the front line, the question is whether we will hold this territory, i.e. even i read a publication in the voice of america, where they actually say that there are three possible scenarios, the first scenario is that we continue the raid war, and i emphasize that this, in my deep conviction, is the best option, the second option is that we begin to dig in there, entrench ourselves and add more than three... front lines, having no advantage either in personnel, in terms of numbers, neither in tanks, nor in artillery, nor in shells, nor in the sky, well, to be honest , from the point of view of, let 's say, an infantry combatant, well, i

would not underestimate these risks, especially as mr. general muzhenko expressed himself in this regard, i fully support him so that it does not turn out like this, you know, well, this is my interpretation these theses, but so that it does not turn out like that, what kind of course... with victorious relations, we did not miss the very serious problem of the pokrov direction and in general of our ukrainian donbass, whether we have enough strength for this, of course, only syrsky knows, because he knows how much we have, what, where and how much and how it is, that is second history, further, if we are entrenched, it means that we need to submit defense structures, listen, well , we are already at the defense structures, we can now say anything, but according to the previous ones... one of the representatives of the temporary investigative commission of the verkhovna rada, mykhailo bondar, on they found embezzlements of about 20 billion in defense facilities, and the sbu opened about 30 criminal proceedings in this regard, and this was not yet an official report of the tsk, so i am very interested, we

will build these defense facilities for or instead of, or at what expense, for whose account, well, but nevertheless, okay, maybe there are options for how you can build defensive structures, once again naked. plus 300 km of the front line, this is a very serious problem, the question is whether we will forever hold these lines and ensure security to the citizens of kurshchyna, and they will go voluntarily'. we have to defend our territory, is it possible that some local self-government bodies will be created there, maybe russian oppositionists will come there with humanitarian convoys and help the residents survive during the war, or is it possible that the russians will simply raze that kurshchyna to the ground and along with everything else, as they usually do are doing on our territory, having a total advantage in artillery, so how long are we going to be there, you know, i'll say it like this, there is here... an option also, for which specialists say that you must be able

to leave in time, closing the door behind you, because today the russians are pulling troops from their northern, so to speak, northern, er, their part of st. petersburg and so on, towards kurshchyna, and in in this context , the effect that we expected, well, as some have said, this is one of the effects that we expect them to take the troops from pokrovsky. direction didn't come true, it didn't come true anymore, that's why maneuverable war is our everything, entering a static front, i see very big risks behind this, well and in conclusion i recommend viewers to go to my channel, there is one more moment about the reasons why the kurdish operation began, who proposed it, about how they tried to remove general syrskyi, the next one with his head in his hands, let’s say, zelenskyi, how it was planned in yermak’s office, and that prevented them, so i encourage your

viewers to come and watch today's stream with lutsenko. well, nevertheless, in closing the question of the kurdish operation, whether it is necessary or not, i do not want to diminish it, because it has made very big serious points from the point of view of geopolitical. all the brown lines of fear that looked like shit and smelled like shit, the ones that many western politicians drew for themselves. all these brown lines of fear, ukraine has passed, putin's red lines, with which putin threatened the whole world, including such a well-known one of the serious politicians, mr. sullivan, who also talked about these red lines that cannot be crossed and so on. ukraine passed, and what we saw, we saw that the greatness of russia and the russian army was completely leveled, they did not can keep their villages. there are some guevo and drochevo, sorry, these are the exact names of these

forces, so if they cannot hold these villages, what is the possibility of russia, of russia , to rule the whole world, to claim to be some geopolitical player number one, so these are the moments, this the kurdish operation did just that, the rhetoric of the western partners changed radically, everyone started saying that the ukrainians have the right, and they have the right to ride on tanks... and they have the right to use bradley. moreover, let's not forget about 600 military new prisoners of war, plus kadyrivtsi, in this story, this is a very positive result in order to replenish our exchange fund. i emphasize once again, i am with the boys, i have two best men fighting in the turkish direction, they say that everyone should do what they have to do, the boys were given an order, they are carrying it out there, let them work, we have to hold the lines here in turkey. and in principle there are no such people, you know, who are fringes among the soldiers, that oh, it would be better if

they supported us here, why did they go there, there are no such things in the armed forces, everyone understands that this is a war is the mastermind's idea, and regardless of surnames, by the way, i want to say that we are all equal soldiers will carry out combat orders, and here the question is only one, the question is that these orders are correct, and not such as to the defenders of azovstali, turn around, surrender your weapons, we will exchange you and keep you. everyone knows the result, well, roughly, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, serskyi, whom you mentioned, mr. major, visited the pokrovsky area and wrote on his resources in social networks that the most intense battles in in the pokrovsky direction are taking place in the eastern suburbs of grodivka, novogrodivka and mykhailivka, the battles are extremely fierce , the enemy is giving up. into battle everything that can move and advance, trying to break through the defense of our troops, our fighters show

courage and heroism in battles with the overwhelming forces of the enemy, - wrote sirskyi. at the same time, a soldier of the armed forces of ukraine yevhen ievlev, with the call sign sheikh, spoke on espresso about the situation in the pokrovsky and turkish directions, where the enemy does not stop pressing. let's hear what he said. really no relaxation of positions. or there is no decrease in the number of equipment, or a decrease in the number of personnel, that is , already in a month and a half or two - it is constant assaults, a constant rush without even... pauses for some regrouping, for some rotations and so on, that is, it is not possible to say that the enemy is there, that the enemy has a shortage of bk or personnel, and i know that this is happening both in our turkish direction, and in our brothers and in the pokrov direction, that is, the situation is really quite complicated, and the reasons for such complexity are she she she she is not alone, the geographical properties on which they counted that the enemy

there would not go against them, unfortunately, that’s the same, if we talk about local ones there... on pokrovsky, that is, putin still wants to go to pokrovsky and in this way then develop the offensive on the dnipro and zaporozhye, or does he have another goal? well, let's be honest, if he goes to pokrov, it's not like developing an offensive on zaporizhzhia, but the zaporizhia front will also move and will pressurize our defense forces from below, this unequivocally, the ugledar will have serious problems and so on, but what i am paying attention to today, you understand, the enemy has now reached the heights, in fact already his advanced units, if i am not mistaken,

yesterday they entered the selidovo mines, there now near this terekon is still holding on to novogorodivka, but in fact they themselves... a population of 14,000 lived there before the war, they took it, excuse me, with a bang, without even razing it to the ground, do you remember bakhmut or the same time there? they actually arttya everything they level up to the foundation and then they already go to the construction debris, because there is nothing to hang on to, but now there was no such thing, the enemy very cunningly and competently changed tactics, they went in small groups of two or three people, concentrating in some fortified places, and then... they make assaults, and in this context, you need to understand that nobody will waste a projectile on two or three orcs in our country, because you can run after two or three soldiers of the russian armed forces with a howitzer of course, no one will, but the problem with fpv drones will be there now stand very sharply, i want to remind all viewers about this today, by the way

, matyar has already written that china has some kind of news that china is stopping deliveries, any shipment from china is being completed. to drones, motors, to rebs, cameras, everything, everything related to electronics, they stop shipping in private parcels now, and this is a serious problem, because our whole drone system is built on volunteer supplies, i don't know how today it is necessary to react, how to circumvent this ban of china, but this to me it looks like forcing ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table on the terms of china-russia, i... this and you understand that when there are such meaty assaults, when they are these groups of two or three people, well, we can only knock them out with drones, and there will be no more drones now, and in this context, i believe that the state leadership should think, because as far as i understand, from the position of china, only commercial cargo will be sent, nothing will be sent in private parcels, well, they are

wrapped in such a foil, allegedly fighting with terrorism, because fpv drones are used for terrorist attacks and so on, well, but we all... perfectly understand that if this issue is closed in ukraine, then there are no shells, there are no drones, what's next, well, you understand, i don't want to now of course to incite panic, but this post from madeira worried me, i started looking on the internet, as they say, searched the news, there is already a message from the logistics company mist, which is engaged in the delivery of parcels from china, they also confirmed the list of prohibited items for sending from china of things is actually a khan. to our garage cooperatives that make drones, that is , only commercial cargo can be shipped, i think that we need to go to a different level here, because we will not close this issue with volunteer shuttle traffic. thank you, mr. major, for the conversation, this was ihor lapin, a major of the armed forces of ukraine, a special officer, a people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation.

friends, we continue to work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are now watch us live, there, please subscribe to our pages, take part in our survey, today we ask you the following: do you think the current system of government in ukraine is effective? yes, no, everything is quite simple, if you have a separate opinion, please leave it in the comments below this video, if you are watching us on e te television, that is, on the tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on the 0800 numbers 211 381, if you in... consider the current system of government in ukraine effective, if it in your opinion is not effective 0.800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free. next we have. on the air oleg rybachuk, head of the center for joint actions, former vice prime minister for european integration and former head of yushchenko's presidential administration, mr. oleg, i

congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. greetings, good evening. let's talk, mr. oleg, about the possibility or impossibility of negotiations with the russian federation. today , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksandr syrskyi, on the 10th anniversary of fighting ilovetsk remembered all russian-ukrainian defenders who died in the war and emphasized that negotiations with an aggressor is a deadly dangerous business. what syrsky writes: this day should always remind us of the insidiousness and treachery of the russian aggressor, that any negotiations with terrorists and murderers are a mortally dangerous business, and that they cannot be trusted . the day before, president zelensky said that a dialogue with putin today would be... pointless, as the russian dictator does not want the war to end diplomatically, does this mean that all the preparation, and all the work that was done in

the framework of the first peace summit and the preparation for the second peace summit, is now simply zeroed out, because putin believes that ukraine crossed the line by entering the territory of kurshchyna, and zelensky says that it is pointless to talk about anything with putin, because he does not want the war to end. diplomatically, well, i don't think that this means that we no longer have prospects to have contacts, especially since we have such a big competition for intermediaries, he the prime minister of india, who visited ukraine for the first time since independence, was already there and talked with putin and shijinpin, and where we see, we see great efforts of serious players. because india is a serious player, china is a serious player, who are looking for opportunities for such a conversation, but there are certain

rules, if we abstract from putin, when the parties are preparing for difficult negotiations, they always declare positions that are extreme or maximal in order to be able to reach some agreements later. our problem is that we really can't. to talk with russia, which is headed by putin, well, because putin, if he promises something, it means that he is lying, that is the whole history of putin's russia, him personally, and we can call macron, soltz, biden, many world leaders as witnesses politicians, to whom putin told a few days before the attack on ukraine that it would never happen, that it was impossible, that russia had never attacked anyone, therefore... these conversations, which we already hear in the ukrainian information space, about the possibility, the inevitability, even, some say, at the next minsk, they,

they are not about anything, but military efforts, including the kurdish operation, to which you paid so much attention, because i just returned from the international conference in kisheniv , just drove along the route where it will be standing there someday, probably memorable. how come here a people's deputy crossed the moldovan moldovan border, i was just on the 24th, on the day of independence in chisinau and under the deep influence of a conversation with the president of moldova, well , we will talk about it, because this was the topic european integration, european integration, and there were, there were no americans, there were no russians, but there were ukraine, georgia, moldova, and of course western countries. balkans, and the topic was about how negotiations on the acquisition of membership can and will proceed, and there

were many interesting moments for ukraine, but if we are talking now about the situation with russia, then it is clear that the parties are still trying to strengthen own positions, and zelensky's press conference, i just happened to watch it, it was so light, and i got there accidentally to his press conference, television broadcast. i noticed that he, that probably a third or more of the correspondents' questions were precisely about what the kursk operation is, why it is, what the goal is, but i can tell you the impressions of high-level diplomats that i heard in kisheniv, what and what even the president of moldova said that every time ukraine once again surprises the world by demonstrating... the ability to deliver unexpected blows and force the russians there to either retreat or bear significant losses, then fundamentally changes in general...

the politics of russia and the mood, because the main refrain of georgian, moldovan, and balkan politicians was one thing, that the victory of ukraine gives a real possibility of prospects and building peace there on the european continent. and tell me, mr. oleg, you spoke with the representatives of moldova and georgia, i understand that, but do they not want to fight for those territories that are now temporarily located under the control of the russian federation, i.e. transnistria, well, and in the caucasus, well, i was just curious, because i heard different numbers there, what are the armed forces of moldova, then some experts said that they have less than a thousand there,

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

always... say that whatever you want, look at what is happening in ukraine, you want aggravation, 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 also 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 begins to beat the russians and inflict huge losses on them, they sit there , but so far they are very good effectively use this argument that it is better to have peace, we need peace, do not let the treacherous west use you the way the west used the ukrainians, because

this is a war not... no no not ukraine and russia, this is a war of nato, america against russia by the hands of ukrainians, so says 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. 32% of ukrainians think so, these are the results of research by the democratic initiative foundation named after ilko kucheriv, 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 at all. well, against the background of this sociology, mr. olezh, andriy dermak, together with rustam umerov , is flying to the united states of america, and they will present a map of possible

american strikes there. weapons on military facilities located on the territory of the russian federation and will ask washington to allow them to attack these military facilities, is it possible to force russia into some kind of conversation by knocking out these critical infrastructure facilities, military facilities, does russia have sufficient resources to compensate for this in some... way, but not make concessions there ukrainians, well , russia is already feeling it, in particular, the ministry of statistics of russia has stopped giving figures on how much diesel the russian economy produces, they simply classified this information, and this happened for the first time, it is simply very revealing.
