of the goals we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d w the, the booster ukraine. it's trip. so i'm sure the 1st slowly the russians defense is in the southern region. them south korea. but well, the next steps be even ha, that's the little caustic. my guess this week is your re sac advise that the grains ministry of defense. and he's clear what he's country will differ based on what he won't getting to concessions to an aggressive is etc. it's, it's, it's a non stop a, despite the good news on the battlefield. as a political casualty, and ukraine, defense minister of extra rusnick of spear heavy countries push, go west from weapons and ammunition. what did he do?

realm of a senior politicians and you crave about, openly critical about west of in cost. this, how serious is the risk and human rights. while i mation was on the field of battle, you admonished to say, it's not just the russians shooting about prisoners centers. you cry of a serious case, the onset you already sac welcome to come, picked out for the latest reports indicate your counter offensive, and this off of the country is making progress. a number of times have been liberated. the 1st line of russian defense is being breached. and that is that felicia region, the white house, called that notable progress, is it, as it is indeed we have been conducting shaping and probing operations for quite some time now. and considering the density of mind mean considering the strength of the concrete for the vacation. so be, i mean, considering the laptop at how the train still experiences this can and should be

seen as considerable progress and we hope to develop it and continue to live, right? it's all as a series, not just in the south, but not a popular upfront line as well with structures as you remember for over 900 kilometers. it's been a while since you've had some important successes on the battlefield. so why did the president choose this moment to sack your defense minister elect, say resume costs when things are actually getting better, but how be we in this war and this defensive borges are very brutal and aggressive. i mean, as i see, and the captain of our team is our president. mr. has the last the so as a captain, he's best position to see the full picture to know that at this stage, this move this change or re shuffle. he believes his vision is that they will

improve capabilities and make it made stronger. so as he said, i mean the president, he said he's tell me like a dress in his vision. the time has come for trying new approaches to the white and new sort of fast interaction go price with both the ministry at the civil society. so we talked to our captain, we are driven by the same goal to defeat the enemy, and we are moving forward or is your side of the president talked about new approaches like like what for instance. like for example, there were a lot of, uh, transparency, procurement procedures that be their pool, which has started by it was started by a mr. x. the rest of the job. and it needs to be accelerated, like, uh, the uh, of course the private little jacket is uh, the new medicine of defense misunderstanding that they will continue to be ensuring that your privacy is sufficient weapons and the prime is capable of driving the

enemy out. but of course, there are, you know, a certain processes within the visual defense which have created some public threaten us in the recent couple of months. and they have to be addressed. and we will be, this is what the role of the new minnesota fact will be. i understand that, but once extraordinary, about resume costs force departure is that he's the man who is negotiated, the acquisition, the boss, the mountain, so far and weaponry. and that munition, he's built up a huge list of personal contacts with senior western counterparts and some considerable amount of goodwill. don't you now risk squandering that goodwill. i'm the personal relationships. but this, the rest of the call was built up to the advantage of the whole country as well. indeed, for a more than the last 550 days missed the rest of the gulf was driven by the goal of building these relationships. and he actually made the possible possible on

so many different occasions. it all began with the united states of america, telling him back in october 2021. that it was not possible for your trade to receive even stay your job. as of right now, we are expecting to see more of 5 digits at 16. so mr. advocates contribution to making our partners believing, obviously, making part of the meetings that we can trusted and that we shouldn't be given these weapons systems model systems. his contribution was invaluable. or miss the style mattel is also a very experienced politician. he's very well connected on the international scene, and i am sure that he will be able to pick up the slack can be the slack back for the next stages of this. more of the development of the minnesota bass. you mentioned a moment ago, some of the next stages in the more that you'll be facing um on the front line,

but stretches to around a 1000 kilometers. nobody. that's your will to get that. but do you have the military hardware to fight with across these huge distances? and then as you know, this is a bottle of david against the glass or in this way we have to uh find it, isn't that any which i'm not numbers us in every possible respect, right into the, to the, to the, the amount of man power then they have so this is why we're finding a smart little, this is why we have very carefully we brought the progress slow out, but we are saving the lives of soldiers. we are very careful with the equipment that we have. the receipts from our west and boss, so you know, because we will continue to fight a small i think, you know, and providing that be supported by western thomas will continue. i think we are on track and you know, we will definitely when i want to talk about that support

a little later on. but you, you don't just remember to go about saving the lives of your soul just by, by all accounts. you don't publish casualty, if it goes, why should you? but by all accounts you have taken terrible losses in the battle so far. how shocking has not been for you. uh uh, this is a rule and uh of course uh, this is a what, which is the largest uh by scale from uh, the 2nd floor. uh and um, i have a losses, you know, across the lots of every soldier is a tragedy. but we have said many times that because we are finding a small and because we have high, we got for the life of the boss. so we're not using them as kind of before the, we're not throwing down, these would be me drive the class. this is why our losses are considerably lower than both of them be. and just so that you understand from august 28 to september 3 according to off because we have

a sort of more than full 1000 russian souls. not that is very, very huge. and uh we do take losses, but like we said, it's always sometimes is racial $5.00 to $1.00, sometimes $9.00 to $1.00. so we are very careful when we are, you know, very consider when it comes to signing on military operations. american officials are you started to shift whole experience forces from the east to the south. but these units have also taken heavy casualties. have they run reports? said some to tunes a mostly stop by people who already being wounded but have come back to fight on the front lines. the good is that right? we are making sure that our uh um, full service, whether we and well staff, we have sufficient reserves, made it to be tremendous. i'm traveling along the front line and having a real feel what the situation is on the a better feel. president himself,

personally just yesterday, when both of them actually get into the 3 just so we are in control and you know, some of these people are taking out of context and the situation. of course it's difficult. it's, you know, some of the edits on the front line, like for example, the, the direction they are very piece of biking. a hood for example, as well, right? but at the same time, like i said, some of these recalls, i think you have a context how they don't. uh, well try to picture the way it is. you mentions of a mine field since you've encountered on the battlefield, your foreign minister called the number the number of russian mines unprecedented. while i'm us general spoke of 5 or 6 mines per square meter. does that take you by surprise? that's extraordinary. density isn't that it is sort of a density uh more of a because of this density. and because of the way in which brushes they,

those mines pass along those lines. now it is also not even possible to use the d mining equipment. so a lot of that you don't have enough of any way to you don't have enough. you have about 25 percent of the equipment that you need according to some reports. well, yes, 0. we're always asking for more because uh, you know, it's a long and very expensive uh, stretch of boxes. but i was just trying to say that even though you know, we do have the, the monitors, we've been very often, it still has to be done manually. and like the latest report we have from the front lines is that for example, rushes. uh now essentially these microphones fly up to make it even more difficult for us to carry out the money operation. so it's, it's hot, i'm going be grounds, but you know, have time to have to come up in the exasperation region. this is flat ground bow isn't that which favors the defenders. i'm also winter is on the horizon. the not

to will favor the russians dug into the trenches and fortifications. you have a little of a struggle ahead of you don't you? this is just the beginning. and we know about this, and we are determined and we are prepared for it. now, what do you have to understand, of course, is that we are paying a lot of attention to disrupting the logistics last. all right. and we sort of daniel, actually able to prepare for the weight of the season and what we see that, you know, we are succeeding in destroying the condition of the fall. we have destroyed the bridges that they have been using for logistical supplies in the south. last month you landed a rating policy on cry, me a brief report from your ministry, settle the objectives of this special operations, were chief without casualties and you exchange fire with russian forces. what, what are the objectives here as well? the objectives of to keep the enemy off balance of course, all worries and to continue either action can plan,

try me on the spot of beans and actually recognize tests or the frame. and our vision of a piece plan envisages, of course, from the, is back to the last of the training. so we are carrying out different operations. you're showing the enemy that you know, we are capable of reaching them gravity on the temper out of the box sizes and will continue until we, when mr. side, whatever the hardships your people have been in during the government appears to enjoy pretty strong solid supports at home for its policies. one of your presidents advisors put it this week at about 95 percent, but when it comes to peoples attitudes in europe, in america, the picture is less encouraging. are you worried about that? well, of course, almost every trade in now has been passed in a bad why 5 is what this is, why. if you ask the previous people, the vast majority is very,

to turn to continue the 5 to live because we all understand that this is about us. and by the understand that we have no other choice for getting that, getting that idea to the public in america in europe, for instance, that's why we use mit. we have tried to explain very simple terms. the your praise between this war is not just in the interest of your pregnancy in the national interest. all, oh, i've been kind of in west to you and united states of america, bbc unavailable. i took yesterday, i got a little cross sale and beach related on the territory of romania. we have photos, evidence of this, right. and this is already naples headed 30. so if you haven't heard again, that you're a traveler and it has refused to continue the grain deal, so the law, this will continues. we are all expected our national interest. you praise the rest

of your p companies, the site, everybody's affecting. so this is why it is, i think, not right to the bank, pull some of the allies that you know, you can lose interest. it's, it's, it's a one that affects everyone. this is 100. how do you say that? but it's a reality of, of you have to factor in, don't you? i mean, do not fear that a, a trauma, victory could bring you a more fighting capabilities to a grinding hold of these elected president. next you, as well, do we have to and we do understand that elections of a very complex process and they involve a lot of different rhetoric. but um, we speak to both republicans and democrats on a daily basis. and you know, it actually the side, we pretty much confident that the bipartisan support of your friend will continue because i will repeat, it defeats

a rush. so i'm bringing boxes with just this is in the interest of the, the national me, the images of the united states of america as well. so let's wait and see what the elections will bring. of course, uh, american feed country and uh, mega, best kind of weird, but the bipartisan support we hope to continue. that's a strong impression risk. the fact that the tensions have been increasing between your craving some of his allies last month. presidential advisor say, hey, mission code was credited to say, it's all setting and the motivating, the less than military equipment has not yet arrived. and the problem is quantities . how may i ask that to me, tell color preferences, hit packet west and come and take those people who said your counter offensive being too slow. he said, i would recommend don't critics, to shut up, come to ukraine and try to liberate one square centimeter by themselves. you think these outbursts do any good for you or anybody else? apart from russia, of course. yeah, well of course i,

we are facing a very difficult task. on the one hand, we have to be diplomatic and calm patient. on the other hand, you know, every day we get the news of our close friends be killed in the front lines, we get the news of the pregnancy is being destroyed. so it is probably possible to understand why sometimes, you know, you just moved, you know, right. and you just have this outburst of emotions. now, i would like to stress that we are extremely grateful to all our western pas who continue to provide me with the vital moves every single and these statements. they should not be seen as ukrainian be grateful impatient. i don't, we are very grateful to all off of the support, but sometimes, you know, when you like a little more can be done and what lives can be said if it's

a visa, streamline. now of course, uh we, we, we, we say that when it comes to the base over the counter fax, if you know, we have signed it many times, that none of us realize even stop to these offensive operations. for example, considering the lack of, at how, because in the past, you know, no major country or may so as on the lines i've never had, it contained where they would go into a major operations of this magnitude without actually 3 honesty. now we're doing this because we have no choice, we're waiting for the 16th, but at the same time we have to continue buying. so we consider all the practice of this kind of offensive or offensive is a, is very dynamic ended as you progress. and we are moving forward, we're not standing in the same place. this is not here. one of the underlying problems that leads to tension between your crime is allies. the site fits that.

you don't necessarily share the same strategic goals. and there's more, you know what you want, you want the number 80 country for russian invaders. you insist your land will not be traded for peace, full stop. don't even know what kind of outcome the westwood won't or perhaps more accurately what kind of outcome it would settle for to even know that well, it seems to, i'm watching that the western countries. i'm not just the western countries for that matter of all civilized nations are interested in restoring the rule based international. this is what it's primarily all about by ship balance. so when we speak to apologize after the leadership of the western countries, we see a very good understanding of the fact that this is not just the button print. this is not o remote, which you print is finding a gauge,

russell for some of the fuel editors. this is something that can spill over the rest of the trinity to west and you know, this is why, you know, if you ask sounds like the whole end of the baltic states, they are all very well aware of the real risks. and they are very, very supportive of your trade and they, you know, support the price they so membership made and you moved through support to training . so uh, i think we are buying it by the same validated by the same goal. we want to leave it a walk in which was a patient side. our is not in a position to blackmail on a daily basis, the international community. and we have a why should not be allowed a rather nice house to live. i suppose the question is, how do you get from the battle field to then they go shaping table. you have present bite and saying this war will add that to negotiating table?

how do you get from the battlefield to that table? what's your, what do you have to do to plan for that you have to outside victory? is that the only way you will go sit down and, and talk i we will continue to live right now and we will continue to drive the enemy. now we will continue to destroy him back with a minute the lifeforce to the point at which they will understand that there is no clothes for them. can further find like this was the case. for example, he's got some of them deliver it to them. so to be at the go to table, we need to understand that you print it has to be in a position to restore us to the total source, the the why it wasn't 19, not too long. now, great to complete sovereignty. that's, that's your precondition for sitting down at the table. absolutely. the width of the share about the view, if the west 1000 and share that view in countries have voice different opinions

about isn't it time for talks to begin and should we have a cease fire and issues like that? you box it all right away. you can continue to bosses away to speculate, but for now, at least on the official level, we have not seen any disagreement with the premium edition of a piece, the mrs. the last, the vision of a piece and that piece class supposed to be completing the impression of the training territories. so we will continue on that top because, you know, we have tried appeasing the dresser in the past due in 2013 rush. i said legally and that's crime. yeah, there was no response from the national community. that was the response from you, frank. and this is where it let us write. this is where we are now and think 23 thousands of people that whole city destroyed. so we know that this is like that, right, the, getting the concessions to and a dresser is a data. it's, it's, it's an all star, okay. the thing disagreements between you and your wife is of

a membership of both nato and the you both organizations and assist. you will get that membership, but neither will tell you when in nato is formulation, it will be with allies agree on conditions on that. even though what that means, as well after the field is a needle size, a couple of months back, i think every participant that need to assign a gave a test. one says you wish it was very early stages that your brain will become a member of may. so often you print with the will. this is one of the western countries now supporting frank with a mutual defeating golf on the battlefield. resolving this issue of a trend becomes a member of nature because this is the only laudable security guarantee that we can get in the meantime, the by that. so security guarantees with the country. sure. but the natal saw it in a g 7 guarantees. so uh, i got some watching progress as an that's

a work in progress. your president was initially very dissatisfied with what came out of the news. he called the nato alpha absurd. he will back back later. but the president is still, i agree as me still angry, didn't get one he can for i think the president is very to see it when he says the maple sided business was a historic summer break. i've never received in the past 12 years of that kind. the outside, you set that off that he pulled it up. so his 1st reaction was this is upset as well. yes. without any pull it up. so that was around the uh, by let somebody go chasing the were called uh, the natal sonic. so uh, when he actually uh, received information about what the nasal was at that time offering the pride in the shortest. we will get to the case here because uh it was what the boat was then . i mean it wasn't progress. now. you talked earlier about the issue of human rights and the time we have left,

i'd like to sort of mention the fact the while the tension has focused on agreed, just violations carried out, unfortunately, carried out by russian troops in march, the un human rights monitoring mission also accused ukraine of war crimes. this was a report which said both sides in the contract and carried out extrajudicial executions of military personnel. you'll government promise to investigate these accusations. how's it done? so are there, so what are the results we are investigating all possible while actually is geneva conventions of human rights in national tvs. uh and uh, you know, there is folded patterns within the ministry of justice. we're dealing with, with in the office of the general prosecute and i say when they will be investigated to completely, the results will be informed. but i would like to set that some of the reports from the international organizations that have been made probably have been very,

very dubious when it comes to the evidential base when it comes to the way the methodology that they've used. they were very lopsided and i don't think uh they, they, they were 100 percent trustworthy. while you say you are investigating, but almost 6 months have passed, isn't the time that these incredibly serious accusations worked out with the, the, the results were made public as well. this is not, i must confess, my specific area of expertise and responsibilities. but i'm sure that, you know, we bought in our international commitments and workers be the we are collecting evidence and investigating the war crimes committed by the aggressors mandatory, say, russia. and you know, we, we have no double standards if there are violations of the message or give arrival of by outside. we will investigate the report about it. all right. do you have any thoughts? it's been good time here on conference. so thank you very much. and the thank you

to thank you very much the the
