possible strikes of american weapons on military facilities located on the territory of the russian federation, and they will ask washington to allow them to strike at these military facilities, whether it is possible to force russia into some kind of conversation by knocking out these critical infrastructure facilities, military facilities, are there enough in russia? a resource in order to somehow compensate for this, but not to make concessions to the ukrainians there. well, russia is already feeling it, in particular, the ministry of statistics of russia stopped giving figures on how much diesel the russian economy produces, they just classified this information and this is the first time this has happened, it's just very telling. this

means that they have serious problems with the ability to even provide body diesel, this is mainly the blood, military equipment, it, they do not run on gasoline, and those and the number of oil refineries and all kinds of reserves that are currently burning in russia, this it is definitely felt, they have limited the export of fuel, they, they, this, this, this, this is something that will be actively discussed. by the russian community, but can this be the main, only argument, i think not, but the russian the authorities and russians, in particular experts, paid attention to the statement of lavov, who simply said directly, addressing the west, that if you want negotiations, then you must, if you want all this to stop, so to speak, so that the war stops, china started. talking about

the cooling of the war, and not just there, pretending that he is a dove of peace, that is, the key players began to take certain steps, and here lavrov is talking about the need to sit down at the negotiating table and talk, well, this is a direct recognition of the fact that the russians are in pain, they are they can, they have a fairly high tolerance for this pain, but economically they are reacting to exactly... what ukraine is doing now, not having permission to use long-range and accurate missiles, but you can imagine what the losses will be for russia and what will be the risks for russia if we get such permission, well, in particular, what ukrainian experts say, you often see them in your studio, they call this problem the presence of weapons and the possibility of using this high-precision weapon that is almost not decisive.

weapons for destroying infrastructure, in particular aviation, that aviation which, in fact, strikes ukraine with impunity on a daily basis. mr. oleg, during the entire month of this august, we heard various statements from minsk, and oleksandr lukashenko and minister of defense khrenin spoke about the fact that there is a threat from ukraine, that we will bring troops to our border, to the border with ukraine and will... .to defend himself just in case, today the self-proclaimed president of belarus declared that he would never give an order to attack anyone and fight outside of belarus. let's listen to what lukashenko said. the same regarding the ukrainian crisis, an absolutely clear, honest policy. here i am reading, and what i am reading makes me sick, those reviews of the world mass media, and lukashenko - this, and he - this, and he is in favor.

mr. olezh, how would you assess lukashenka's current role in the russian-ukrainian war? well , he is quite consistent, that's how many years we've seen lukashenka, now, especially when this kurdish operation started, then... the russian media directly accused the father of being blindsided, that he removed the reports of the troops at the border, and that ukrainians they simply see that there is no threat, and that is why the ukrainians transferred their forces to the kursk region from the border with belarus and allowed themselves to go there, 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 said that we would fall there, and he drove a bunch of troops to the border there, to which our border guards spoke calmly. that there are no signs of what he is really preparing, but we understand very well, and lukashenko understands this, 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 be there until... but they didn't succeed defending the results of the elections, but the mood of the belarusians, and we all remember the belarusian forests, the 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 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 use the armed forces to get involved in the war directly with ukraine. thank you, mr. olezh, it was oleg rybachuk, a politician and former vice-prime minister of ukraine. european integration. friends, we continue to work live. literally in 3 minutes , maksym rozumny, political, will appear on our air columnist, doctor of political sciences. in the meantime, let's watch a story about how the ground

forces of the armed forces train the pilots of the army aviation, and they train their skills on mi helicopters. 24 and mi 8. 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 perform 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. review visual. is carried out, the serviceability and reliability of mounting all units, all types of weapons is carried out, this is the cockpit of the crew commander, he controls are, let's say, standard, like all of them, this cockpit, this is the operator's pilot, well,

accordingly, the instructor is still sitting here, the important thing is , that one door opens to the right and the other to the left. this is, let's say, to be able to get in and out in the event that, for example, the board went to one side, so that both pilots were not trapped. vladyslav already has more 200 sorties since the start 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. final preparations and the plane rises into the sky. us operator. workplace, i am filming here in order to show that you will definitely not smell anything near the helicopter, the helicopter has already been started for 10 minutes, during this time absolutely all units of the helicopter are checked, starting from the bender, ending

with plows, we are preparing young people for successful, the successful destruction of the orcs that have come to our land, and also er... regular checks to maintain the level of ready crews, flying under the curtain, it is a simulation of flying in the clouds, where there is no visibility, where we, when we fly by instruments, also there will be a pilot flight on duplicate instruments, this is an additional simulation of the failure of the clouds, the failure of the instruments, so that a person does not get stuck, so that he knows what to do, where... to look, how to pilot, that's why everyone is afraid when a helicopter comes at them , that is, it is scarier than artillery, a special task is to practice flights at night, it is much more difficult to fly at night, if it is some kind of specific flights,

it is very beautiful, but visual orientation is difficult, because you cannot see, you can orientate yourself by some populated areas, lights and so on, plus... if some unusual situations, then you get confused, you can't see the ground, you have to orient yourself more by the devices, and yes , it's cool, it shakes less, and... there is less turbulence at night, because the ground is already evenly cooled, and in fact at night flying is a thrill. the main task of our aviators is to cover the infantry, they strike at enemy positions, stop offensives and support assault operations. khrystyna parobiy, espresso tv channel. friends, we will continue to work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are watching us now. live, 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, either yes or no, you choose, or write comments under this video, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on the numbers 0800 211 381, if you think the current system of government in ukraine is effective, no 0800 211 382, all calls to these numbers are expensive, 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 a significant date, maybe that’s why you came to our studio, because today is 5 years since the oath of the current parliament, exactly 5 years ago, on august 29, a monomajority was created, people came to power, got almost all the power in

ukraine, what were these 5 years like, did the idea of ​​the existence of monomajority and monopower justify itself, what advantages did we get, what disadvantages? well, actually the idea of ​​monopolies, it arose, i would say so, spontaneously from the will of the voters, yes, therefore, in the system of power in its... design, this is not laid down 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 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 make, now there are different considerations about it, any decisions, despite others. apart from the constitutional ones, apart from the constitutional ones, yes, apart from the changes to the constitution, and this is of course the situation, i wouldn't

say that it violates democracy in any way there, it simply puts more political responsibility on this political force, and these 5 years, if we are talking about them, then in the context of this political force and this situation of monomajority, then these... years about how these powers and this great this political group took advantage of the trust, but from this point of view, 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 a servant of the people, the president was a servant of the people, and that is yes, that doesn't happen often after an election presidential and parliamentary, because all the presidents who have been, they were forced to join with someone... join some alliances, which are in some majority, sell briefcases or

take bribes to their associates there, as was the case in 2006, well that is, whether this chance was used as it should have been in order to really change the country, well, it is really interesting to remember how it happened differently in our country, we remember a long period of confrontation between the parliament and the president, for example, in the times when the chairman of the verkhovna rada... was oleksandr moroz, and the president leonid kuchma, and kuchma spoke about the fact that the reforms that he allegedly declared were hindered by a pro-communist or such, that is, a reactionary majority in the verkhovna rada. there were different situations, we had such that some of the deputies even went from the verkhovna rada to the ukrainian house, there they chose their leaders, so to speak, and it was as a result of... this kind of approach that at one time viktor was appointed prime minister yushchenko,

and there were different situations, it seems that now this is the unification of the parliament, it was after the orange revolution, when they appointed do you remember yulia tymoshenko as prime minister in the verkhovna rada, then even the regionals voted for her, nestor shufrych welcomed her, as usual... as a rule, history says that such situations are short-lived, that is, that's all one thing begins, we remember, the orange majority, which very... quickly split into irreconcilable camps not for ideological reasons, but for personal reasons, but the current situation, it shows what it shows, in fact, this group is most likely, generally speaking, this political group was not ready for that power to the mission that fell to her. of course,

the war that began in the 22nd year, a large-scale war from... martial law, well, this picture was adjusted 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, so to speak, clear guidelines chosen for society, there was no clear and effective, well-thought-out program, therefore, why... they took advantage, how they took advantage, actually, i think that on a personal level, many people took good advantage of it, yes, but let's assume that probably the state has executed at this moment in this, because really, when there is an opportunity to adopt any laws and introduce any changes, carry out any reforms, carry out any restructuring, then in principle, for this, those people are needed, who, well, relatively

speaking, who have a vision, a vision of that, who actually have these decisions in their heads. they are not there, 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 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 subjectivity, turning into a remote subdivision of the president's office. this is the beginning of the helplessness of the verkhovna rada. reduces the efficiency of work and the authority of the parliament, which is definitely a problem for ukrainian statehood and democracy, how can this lack of political subjectivity be overcome and whether it will return or not or, shall we say, individual institutions will regain their powers and their power in the country after

the change of the current government. well, i think that there are definitely no institutional obstacles for this. we remember. everyone criticized, and i, by the way, too, from, so to speak, from an academic point of view, criticized the changes to the constitution, adopted as a compromise in 2004, which created a conflict between the prime minister and the president, but we saw, for example, mykola azarov and viktor yanukovych completely overcame this problem, and now the current prime minister and the current president, something is not heard that between them... some, that is, the problem is not in any institutional rules and structures, the problem is in the readiness of people, that is, the way out of the situation, it is located where the entrance is, if we saw that people supported a certain idea, a certain image, but we live in a world of images, clip, reality is like this, but they

saw something attractive, but under that were, well , people gathered, well, as we can see now, it’s enough of an attack... people , which are not united by any ideology, people are not united by a common vision, people are not ready to work together for state, the result is the same, but this means that in order not to repeat this situation, we, as a society, must look at what is happening in the political arena, who is the bearer of real ideas and real programs, and support those people are obviously so... you evaluate zelenskyi's behavior and his assessment of the current situation now, i think you watched zelenskyi's press conference, and you can say whether he makes assessments of the current time adequately, maybe he knows more , than all of us together, and it is obviously so, and his

evaluations are related precisely to this, how much it corresponds to the current situation and what needs to be done. well, this question can be answered from the point of view of some ideal model, or from the point of view, well, it is not very productive, well, it does not fully answer, but in principle, well, what he does, most of it, probably, anyone i would do it in his place, i would convince our allies, i would hold meetings with the military, it is clear that he does not know much about military affairs, he listened to those military men, talked to the government, where... to get the money, that is anyone in his place would do the same, but if you compare, well, it is more productive, you could say, but do we have someone who... in zelenskyi's place would do it better. this is already a difficult and more interesting question. i don't have a ready answer to it yet. i don't see

a person in the ukrainian political community now, well, as competence, which would be an order of magnitude higher than there, and legitimacy would be in order and everything else. therefore, we can judge zelensky one way or another, but more. it is 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 will have to make decisions, that is, zelensky makes decisions at his level, we at ours, but look, obviously, well, if the current president had a stronger prime minister, or a prime minister who would have more... experience and knowledge, because in principle, well , zelensky was and remains a political neophyte, that is, in the sixth year of the presidency , judging by what he says

publicly and how he behaves as journalists and how he responds, he was and remains not an efit, it is good that he is trying, but he remains not an efit, that is, he has not gone far, relatively speaking from zelensky sample 2019 and sample 2024, war, leader a country that... is at war, of course, this is a slightly different status on the world stage, it has a different status, but purely in the state it looks like this, well , in principle, we have, as you say, a small choice, and on the other hand in 2019, we had more choices, but zelensky won, who was incompetent, yes, well, there are two different questions here, the first question is that the government could be the prime minister. could be more independent and so on, well, we don't have a bright prime minister there who would lead the country,

but we see next to zelensky the figure of andriy yermak, who, so to speak, well for many personifies this competence in its different modes and modalities, so to speak, which the president obviously lacks at times. it is bad that this figure is a shadow, that is, we do not hear, so to speak, where it goes this country is going, but we guess in whose hands this country is, you understand, that is, it is to the fact that the situation is, well, 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 the way 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 and legitimate and legitimate and in the interests of the ukrainian people. by the way, you mentioned andriy yermak.

andriy yermak and rustem umyerov flew to of 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... the ukrainians are traveling with this map, and we consider deep strikes, well quoted an unnamed source, an unnamed ukrainian deputy, we consider strikes deep into russian territory by american weapons to be more provocative than strikes by american weapons on russian territory near the border, and both, russian the territory and there is no difference how deep the targets are located, the ukrainian deputy explained to the publication, i don't have any... i have no questions about rustem umerov, who left with this map, but if we are talking about hitting weapons with atakams, then why this map at all does not take the head of the armed forces of ukraine to washington,

because this is generally his direct competence and this is what he manages, what he is responsible for, or in this case we see andriy borysovich yermak acting as a backup for volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi, i think that i i think that i ... right away i wanted to note that i really like it, i am happy that commander-in-chief syrskyi did not go anywhere, but is there monitoring the situation at the front, in general it is at least calmer, well, it is somehow calmer for us in the rear, but 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 maybe, maybe , there is a reason for this, and this will convince anyone that andriy

yermak is in the composition does not surprise me at all, because he... for a very long time has been performing the role of such a representative of the president's deputy, who sometimes overshadows , for example, the minister of foreign affairs or other public figures, 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, throughout the broadcast we conducted a survey, we asked you about whether you think the current system of government is effective, tv poll results 4% yes, 96% no. we put an end to this, friends, i say goodbye to you until tomorrow, there are discounts until independence day on citramon darnytsia 10% in

started by russia has been going on for the 11th year, the aggression started by russia against ukraine. "if we speak as of now, during this period ukraine defended its independence, subjectivity, sovereignty, and the issue is only in the return of certain territories, or is the issue precisely in the defense and in the election of both subjectivity and independence. it seems to me that that if you make such an excursion in 30, 33 years, then a miracle has happened, i think that it is not just a lot, but me i think the majority of people in the world, i would ask them to find ukraine on a map, they would look for it on some other continent, and today being ukrainian is beautiful, proud, starting from the highest politicians, especially in europe.
