yes, the president called me back in about 15 minutes and agreed that aid to ukraine should be voted on separately and as soon as possible, i think we are on this path, discussions are currently ongoing between the members of the appropriations committees of the house of representatives and the senate regarding the details of this document pasha, your opinion, your information from the same how much is this help? it is important for us. well, we understand that it will take some time until we receive it . how will our soldiers hold up during this time? there is a political issue, and when the united states makes such a decision for the second time in its history, it means that we have political and behind it all other support, because the first time it was such a decision in the spring of 1941, which concerned great britain,

and later there was a decision regarding the soviet union union this is very good, but it has already been stated here and by you and the people in the studio that a certain time must pass, and it could be weeks, it could be months, and these are already conjectures, and this is one of the statements of today's deputy minister of defense anna malyar, this is the first the second question is what do they want and what will happen and what are they planning , except for the fact that hostilities are going on, and the most severe hostilities are going on. to the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk region and the fact that the troops are being drawn up from the crimean side indicates that such an encroachment will take place in the kherson region, which means that they will continue

to try to penetrate the broken border to the point of breaking through the corridor to transnistria in addition, there were even statements by our officials that there is such information that could return to the plan to capture kyiv, well, from my point of view, this is to say to keep the entire population in tune, but in fact they have a task because it is too early will it be too late for us to receive lend-lease, and they are slowly exhausting themselves, and they want to go to the maximum, so that from the maximum that they get with the help of their troops, they will go to negotiations with us, but there are several points, first, what will make it easier for us, and what from my point of view it will be us in a certain way interfere if it happens as i will say now. well, what will make it easier, you know that the finns have already made an application and want to be in nato on the 16th. sweden

is clear that russia will react in what way. there is one point that i would like to emphasize. we all reacted with you, the whole world, including the state of israel, to lavrov's anti-semitic statement, but it is not just because he. talk, but here there is a question a little deeper, what is the problem? you probably already know the information that the russians are taking away their military bases in syria, they have bases there for the military, the space forces, the air-space forces, there are naval bases and, in principle, there are bases for land well, it’s approximately 4,000 troops and one motorized infantry brigade, three mechanized battalions, not much equipment and half of the conscripts, that is, the russians can’t count on those four thousand. well, it’s unlikely that they will take away

the air component and make the sea but the iranians can come to us in their place, what is the point if the iranians are already there and now the dew base has entered into negotiations with the iranians when europe is calculating europe is now calculating well, the americans are also going to hold a conversation with the iranians and oil will go to iran in the near future we refuse russian oil, the medium-term prospects and the gas will leave, but when the iranians go there, it does not disrupt the conflict with israel, that is, putin is watching and wondering what he will do, how to do it, he would like to start another war there. in this way, the emphasis will be shifted there and we will be a little on the side and he expects that he can win, well, this is

my opinion, this is the first and second question regarding putin that he is old and still so and so and so and so mean to a man if you believe what is written in the biography because they say that not in october, 70 years old, he already has everything he wants to be. kiev he won near chernihiv, this is a wounded beast and he now has this victory. i wonder what in ukraine is equal to his personal life, the life of his children and the life of his wives, so he will go to the end, he will do everything that can be done, i will tell you more, we will now today's statement by the minister of defense of great britain great britain is trying to find soviet weapons and ammunition

to help ukraine and the minister of defense says that in some countries they are facing russians, they are also looking for weapons for themselves information by the way, through journalists that back in april, iran supplied uh, they had the opportunity for the police to produce s300, there is a name and i don't remember the other one, now he also supplied them with uh, missile systems of salvo fire. that is, you have to keep this in mind and use it to the maximum regarding our expectations, there are different people who want them to end immediately. everyone walks, it's not a secret just sit down so that we can feel the second question so that we must understand that this is a struggle for resources, what you have shown now is a struggle

for resources. now they are digging in, they are digging in, not only that, even there, ours now have some success north of kharkov, they are being pushed back, so they have now given instructions from the belgorod region to dig in and prepare a defensive line that is, even with the presence of weapons, it will go if we go to the border, well, let's say we reach chongar , we need to think about crimea, then here i would not listen to politicians, i would listen only to the military, what is meant and what losses will there be in the liberation of that crimea, is it worth it or not therefore, every day we solve some issues as a state, as an armed force, as a society. well, you can ask the question,

what is the reason for society here, because with such a war, it made an effort to start speaking ukrainian and teach its children to speak in the ukrainian language, in 10-15 years they will come again ready to liberate them, no one will call them , i.e. everyone must do their best, only then we will win, and in principle we like to talk let 's have some kind of rhyme, let's give israel, so let's be a little patient, have certain restrictions and understand that the military what they are doing, everything they are doing and understand how well they are doing in numbers, remember there were 500 to 700 dead, now 300 170 are dead , what does this mean? well, ours are beating them, they simply cannot do what they want to do, briefly about the cops, and this information really appears near belgorod. and in general, how do you think a ground operation by the armed forces of ukraine on belgorod is realistic

? are the russians afraid of this now? do you understand how we can talk again now and fantasize to myself if the state if the state of russia remains within those borders then we are unlikely to act as russia crossed the border and if you as a result of the war everything will start to collapse and roughly speaking our ethnic lands will begin to beg and we want to you humbly here's this it may be there may be a peacekeeping operation, well, a peacekeeping operation our countryman was the first to conduct a peacekeeping operation on moscow, the truth turned around, it was the first peacekeeping operation, we will save or how a little it is the year 1618 and you mentioned the crimea which at the cost of returning it to us, and in fact now they are talking about what the victory should be, what are its limits, earlier volodymyr zelenskyi spoke about returning to the territory as of

february 24, so to full-scale, that is, and today, the statement of the minister of foreign affairs, mr. kuleb, appeared. let's listen to it. the picture of victory is a concept that develops in the first months of the war. for us, victory looked like the withdrawal of russian troops to the positions they occupied until february 24 and payment for the damage caused now. if we will are strong enough on the military front and we will win the battle for donbas, which will be decisive for the further dynamics of the war, then definitely the victory for us in this war will be the liberation of the rest of our territories - said the minister minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, i have a question for you: how can we interpret kuleb's statement in particular, because we understand that diplomats' statements always have something between the lines and very often contain messages for both the domestic market and

the foreign market, well, if it is expressed that way what do you say about this statement, well, look, yesterday there was a meeting of the intelligence committee of the united states of america, where one simple thing was said, what we miscalculated is that the russian army is weaker, and the ukrainian army is actually much stronger and today in one energy article information was provided that biden met with a colleague in washington literally a couple of days before the hostilities and spoke as if he were doomed , that is, the intelligence of the united states of america, the intelligence of powerful countries, including britain. they didn't believe until the end that in the end, that in the event of a full-scale war, ukraine can hold out for more than three days , at first, now i already have information that the offensive was planned on february 16, and on february 18, kyiv was to be occupied on february 21, they were supposed to clean up, including the offensive on lviv, and on february 23, they were supposed to hold a parade, let's be honest, this thing happened literally last week, that is, rammstein, where 41

more than 40 ministers of nato countries and not only nato gathered, they should have gathered on the second or third day after the war, what happened to him, no one believed that ukraine would hold out, i had the opportunity all the time. at that time, we were all watching on tv. who was not in the war, i had the opportunity to watch online and skynes, there was always information about the fact that russia will now cover kyiv, then the offensive is slowing down, slowing down, slowing down on the eighth day, johnson said that it looks like this, that everything in russia is not going according to plan on the 10th or on the 11th, but the bike said exactly what happened now and one of the topics of our program is that it is protracted freely, what does the meeting at rammstein mean now, what does lend-lease mean, what does british aid mean now, and the key thing now is one of the key advocates in the so-called free world, the change in germany's position when cancel scholls announced the fact that putin is a war criminal, that the whole stylized world believed that russia can be defeated, that russia can be defeated, but russia can

not lose, and the western special services understand this and openly state that when russia will lose, or when there is a threat to their regime, they they can use even tactical nuclear weapons but they understand that russia is now losing and now this protracted war is the beginning of russia's defeat, the question is how long it will last enough said that he is a military expert here the military, will it last two months or will it last longer? the key question is that it will definitely end with our victory. the only decisive question is what the price will be, because the price is actually very, very large. kuleba’s statement . optimistic, this means that we understand that powerful military equipment is coming first of all, the colossal motivation of our guys and this means that withdrawing to the position on february 24 is no longer enough. what, for example, will be the end for me victory in this war to the end. it seems to me that the whole world has understood that russia cannot exist in this form, we must now seriously think about

how, er, where to nazify and where to russify russia, because we created a colossal monster that no one perceived and when we understood what russia is, because we survived the 17/21 years, we survived the 39th year, we survived the 46th year, then for the west, in the first place, there was often abroad the breed and political work of which germany, france, they jokingly perceived it as the so-called great russian soul. and what is it? this is a great russian soul. this is what they showed in buch. this is what they showed in mariupol. this is the absence of any rules, because of me. we must ask questions . that russia in such a configuration cannot continue to exist, this does not mean that it will happen within 2-3 months, the military operations should end sooner , but we should all think that such a monster with nuclear weapons with such a population with such mentality cannot exist, that's why for some reason i am convinced that every day of this war, it is

going to the detriment of russia first of all, and we are preparing as a nation that in some short period of time in historical retrospect, it will not be a year or it will be five years will it be 10 years, a state like russia did not exist, us intelligence also says about a protracted war, let's look at this e -quote from an intelligence representative, the us intelligence community believes that russian president vladimir putin's war in ukraine is likely to become unpredictable and escalating in the coming months, putin is faced with a mismatch between his ambitions and the current potential of russian military situations on the ground may increase the likelihood that president putin will take decisive measures, including maintaining martial law by reorienting industrial production or potentially escalating hostilities, said

director of national intelligence avril heinz , adding to oleg zhdanov , a military expert, a reserve colonel, we welcome you to our broadcast, oleg, can you hear us? congratulations, i can hear you well and just in time based on this quote that we gave to the american intelligence that ukraine and ukraine are waiting for a protracted war with russia, and today we ask this question on our broadcast, what are your assessments? well, my assessment is more optimistic. i think that a protracted war can only be on the border if if we go to the border, it will be very difficult to stop the shelling from the russian federation, and it will be necessary to solve this issue somehow, probably in a diplomatic context, or to inflict fire damage on those points from which they attack us defeat the fact is that to start the economy on a

military basis, to rearrange it on military rails for today, for today, the task has not been completed for the russian federation. of the russian federation , it has not been fully implemented. please tell me . well, this information appeared this week, and in the end, you, including on various broadcasts, commented on the activation of belarusian troops, so that lukashenko announced special operations to the borders, sending er, there are threats there. well, in particular, in one of our interviews, we heard the thesis that this offensive in the volyn direction is still possible in order to somehow try to block the supply of weapons, what with from a tactical point of view for the russian federation,

it is absolutely clear, because whether the west of ukraine is provided with weapons on the front line. how do you assess this probability today? i will explain that the fact is that there was no overturning of general military units, shock units did not take place, namely, the artillery of tank units and motorized rifles of special operations forces - this is mainly reconnaissance, diversionary work and activities, and it is possible partially carrying out special operations, but this is not an invasion of the country and not the conduct of combined military er operations, er, in general, this is not an infantry that knows how to fight, so we can say that the er version is not justified and lukashenka continues this game of er looping between

drop by drop in order not to intervene in this war in order not to send the armed forces of belarus to ukraine, therefore the probability is again reduced to actually well, to a very low estimate, i suggest you move to the east the so-called er announced big both for donbas and er, still to the end, i do not understand what is happening and whether it is really so big, on the one hand, there is the progress of the ukrainian armed forces in the kharkiv region, and this week, in particular, it was possible to move the artillery away from kharkiv in such a way that the shelling is no longer this city is managed as easily as it was before on the other side in the direction of luhansk the concentration of the occupying forces is quite high and they have small but advances there how would you assess the situation there a-a look well the big battle for donbas is ongoing

it has been going on for the fourth week and unfortunately, well, we have already separated this direction into a separate one. we already have a separate north donetsk direction, and unfortunately, this is the only direction where the russian federation simply made a conveyor belt of its troops, and one battalion tactical group went into battle. after that, she walks in her place, another one comes and there are 20 such battalions of tactical groups. this is the only place where we cannot completely knock down the offensive potential of the armed forces of the russian federation. skype from azovstal and that's why we want to listen to the guys and then we 'll continue with you right away. my name is sviatoslav palamar, call sign kalina, deputy commander of the azov regiment sviatoslav, glory to ukraine, we congratulate you. thank you for finding the opportunity to connect with us, we understand that we know how difficult your situation is, and the last

statement of iryna varyshchuk, adviser to the president of ukraine , was that the authorities allegedly have several stages of solving this situation with azovstal, that they are supposed to exchange seriously ill and seriously wounded soldiers for russian prisoners, do you know how it all works what is your situation? bombers, the plant is subjected to simply devastating airstrikes, the crop artillery is working, the mlrs barrel is breaking through, the infantry is breaking through with the support of tanks, armored vehicles, we are fighting against the regular troops of the russian federation, against the e dpr collaborators, against e wagner’s mercenaries, and in principle, the situation as of now is

extremely difficult for one position changes from hand to hand, they go in, we happen, uh, then they go in again, that is, such local battles take place, but this is all during intense bombardments, you understand how difficult it is to reset the fabs are different and different, that is, there are 500s and one and a half, and well, such destruction is extremely large, every day, every day, wounded, of course, every day, more wounded died. from the fact that we cannot provide them with proper medical care, and the situation with the wounded is extremely critical and needs to be resolved as soon as possible, every day, every day, this is, well, believe me, these are extremely heavy, of course, heavy losses, and the worst thing is that we cannot provide them with qualified

medical aid, e.e., the bombings also go to the hospital, which violates all the geneva conventions. yes, there is article 19 from the year 49 to, in principle, the warring parties must ensure the safety of stationary or mobile points of medical aid, and those guys are no longer competent they ca n't hold weapons in their hands, they can't hold weapons in their hands, this is relative to the situation. yes, at the factory as of now. to oppose the planes with an extremely powerful fire mitzvah that they use, they use there a course of 77 and so on, that is, it is somehow such a pity that during all this time and we have become such a magnet yes, which attracted a

huge number of there bombs and everything else yes, we have been protesting for 78 days, an extremely powerful group has now become smaller . devastating in some way. tell me, please, well, now . and this, in the end, including your colleagues, says one of the most likely options for salvation is the extraction procedure, when you will be allowed to go to a third country without laying down your arms. how do you see it? and what for this needs to be done, in particular, here in ukraine. well, you know how we are, well, we, as a military, first of all, we have two options, yes. the first option . we have an order to maintain defense, which er exists. until now, we are not going to violate the order of the higher

military - the political command and so on extraction, of course, we are already addressing all world leaders because, uh, we as a command, we must do everything and the country must do everything to ensure the lives of these soldiers who have made so many defense plans, and regarding extraction, of course , we are considering such an option, it can happen logistically there is both a sea option and a land option, but for this, of course, you need support and pressure on putin, and this should be with the support of a third party . we need to find such an option, we need to find those people, those politicians who can reach moscow, let's say yes and yes, and ensure such conditions on which we would say yes, the side of the

conflict would agree to such a solution, the situation is actually deadlocked yes we, they come here, they bear losses, we bear losses, and nothing except that two sides, two sides do not lose their people, nothing else happens somehow like this. tell me, please. that's why your manager, in particular, said in his interviews that it's very complicated and we understand that they can't be easy, the sanitary conditions in which you live, what can you tell us about your life, it's important to hear that i i can say that if we are talking about today's situation on the street, it is warm at the azovstal plant and around the plant, and there are many corpses of both

ukrainian soldiers and civilians, most likely also russian soldiers, under the rubble, the air was heated, the air was poisoned, and so on, constant smoke constant bombardment, lack of uh, lack of any means of hygiene and so on regarding food, water it's very difficult . water has been technical for a long time, which we filter, process, and boil whenever possible. well, somehow, we get out of the situation that has arisen.

on the air, in principle, we can talk about it and we should talk about it, but we can only help you with this svyatoslav palamar, the deputy commander of the azov regiment from the azov steel, joined us, told us about the situation there and i want to believe that the authorities will really look for options and what vereshchuk talked about in particular announced that there will be some exchanges. and even if it is possible to free the wounded from there in the near future, our expert is coming back to us via skype, who was so so. the warrior we read about in history textbooks is that everything is actually happening live and unfortunately or fortunately because here it is unfortunately because we see it all in real time and fortunately fortunately also what we see and we can react in real time and achieve

results p only you and i talked about the situation in the east he continues his opinion to complete more precisely a-a well, i want to say that it is in the east, the north donets direction, this is the only one where we could not bring down the combat potential e-e russian troops and this envelope that is constantly putting pressure on our defense and trying to break through it is still not over. when will we stop the offensive actions ? in this direction, then we can say that yes , the second stage of the war, namely the defensive operation , including in the donbass. - and it is finished with us and then there will be an operational pause again because lunch both sides are exhausted and we will be preparing for the third stage of the contour offensive operation, but just now we and you heard the shutdown due to the growing situation quite complicated and more than once we hear about the fact that as of today,

yesterday, this month, this week, there are no specific military solutions to this situation, proposals for even military solutions, but now he is talking about e extraction, what is needed, what are the possible arguments effective for our enemy if he allowed this extraction to be carried out, because today, in particular, the so -called head of the so-called dnr sent the name of this person and said that they would never agree to this in their life, what arguments can to work, well, we spread nothing at all, it doesn’t solve it, yes, maryana how, yes, yes, the only one person who can agree to er, more precisely, who can influence this situation and solve it, it is putin today and ah, unfortunately, we have to look for such any way
