8:02 pm
, first of all, the topic is very ambiguous. i would say so diplomatically . the synod held by the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate , let me remind you that they accused the ukrainian orthodox church, that is, the orthodox church of ukraine, of giving us the tomos and petro poroshenko personally, for the fact that, as you can see , a war has started in us, that is, it is not the russians' fault according to the opinion of these clergymen, that's what we call them, you are not the ukrainian government at the time when we received the tomos, and in general, what we created shows that the orthodox church of ukraine provoked the enemy to aggression. well, of course, such statements cannot go unnoticed the verkhovna rada of ukraine plans to discuss the provocative statements of the uoc mp synod and i think it will be necessary to take some a-a measures. we, european solidarity, also call for sanctions on the russian orthodox church, not sanctions sanctions well, we'll talk about it again at 8:45 p.m., we
8:03 pm
'll meet again on the air. and now, the kyiv security forum is for your attention. let's watch it together. 4 -star general-pss, commander of the european team of the usa and the supreme vote of the negative forces of nato in europe in 2013-16, general wesley clark, a four-star general of the us army, the supreme commander of nato forces in europe in 1997 - 2000, mrs. merida harin, deputy director of the eurasian center of the atlantic council, hmm , a good friend of ukraine, our good friend and mr. arseniy yatsenyuk, the prime minister of ukraine in 2014-16, the head of the kyiv region, this is the 79th day of russia's genocidal war against our country, russia does not have what it wants, and therefore is powerless. anger is growing. american
8:04 pm
intelligence describes the state of the conflict as a war of attrition, and here it is the most painful for us is the fate of the ukrainian military and civilians who are in azovstal this morning the russian occupiers again tried to break into the plant russia continues shelling and bombing which its international pressure needs to be mobilized to to save our heroes in mariupol, this is exactly what we are saying today, as well as the situation at the front and prospects and future scenarios . victory, i invite you to give my word, i invite you to address the ukrainian and
8:05 pm
international audience, your word, thank you very much. these are ukrainian soldiers, ukrainian sergeants and officers, and first of all i want to thank the people of the united states of america, i want to thank the military and political leadership of this great country for the support they provide to ukraine and the ukrainian army as a whole. what is happening now about what kind of force the adversaries faced on february 24, the enemy in the person of the russian federation attacked the territory on the territory of ukraine during this period during this period we fought with the enemy in
8:06 pm
quantitatively and qualitatively, he outnumbered us in the number of weapons, in the number of infantry, in the number of people, this group numbered about 14 thousand military personnel, this is an extremely huge amount of equipment - these are planes, these are ships, this is ship artillery - these are sorties of both tactical and strategic aviation and a large the amount of artillery of the rssu , as well as a huge number of rockets, was fired at us. during this entire period, our garrison managed to destroy about 6 000 6,000 enemy peak enemy forces , including one general, about 78 tanks, more than 100 units of armored vehicles, according
8:07 pm
to confirmed data . we will not rely on who is fighting and has fought against us, this is the 151st division, this is the 68th tank field, this is the 83rd airborne brigade, this is the 346th brigade of the spetsnaz, this is the 22nd special forces brigade, this is the 9th marine regiment the dpr is the 810th brigade of the black sea fleet, this is the 150th, 155th the pacific brigade and also strategic aviation and tactical aviation, these are wagner mercenaries and also other militants from other er from other territories of the russian federation and the caucasus what i would also like to emphasize on the platform we really lack fighting with such and such due to the overwhelming number of the enemy, in fact, all
8:08 pm
this time we did not have enough air defense means that would allow us to shoot down planes, we did not have enough all this time, quite a lot of air defense equipment uh, with the anti-ship means we had, we would have been able to shoot down the ships, but all the same, our boys and our girls resisted all this time, and we continue to resist, so it happened that, uh, in reality, the ring around us narrowed and since march 1, we were already completely surrounded and blocked, and in accordance with the battles we retreated, and since march we have started fighting only on the territory of the azov plant. at the end of march, the situation in the territory of the azovstal plant is difficult. he does not observe international conventions - he does not
8:09 pm
observe the geneva conventions, knowing that there is now a huge number of azov steel in the territory of azov as always, violates all international norms, the enemy is the enemy. in addition , it works, it also works in terms of propaganda . ukrainians are citizens of ukraine of various nationalities, jews, ukrainians, greeks, belarusians, and gagos, and that's all
8:10 pm
citizens of ukraine. propaganda is directed precisely against us, uh, all these years, it played a role, like pouring oil on the fire, for their , for their propaganda, regarding, regarding, regarding what will happen next, we will continue to resist . is problems with the battle with the zbk we have problems with food we have problems with water and medicine but we continue to resist and we are following the order of our higher political e-e command to hold the defense the defense we hold and no matter what we continue to fight today the enemy with the support of aviation with the support of
8:11 pm
artillery continues to advance continues to storm our positions and we continue to repulse them having such an opportunity having such an opportunity i would like to appeal to all representatives of this uh conference and to say that we once again thank you once again to say that it is possible for such a great nation and such great representatives of such a great nation as the united states of america i would very much like to help to evacuate our wounded fighters, and if there is an opportunity for this, if there is an opportunity to connect all efforts in order to help in the extra action process of our
8:12 pm
garrison, these are the boys and girls who in the environment did everything possible to grind to let such a huge group pass through us and believe me if we didn't do this, this whole horde would have moved on, it would have captured another, other territories of ukraine, it would have gone deep into ukraine and the front line would now look completely different and i want emphasize that our enemy does not adhere to any values, he has a completely different worldview, this is a barbaric worldview that has only one goal: to destroy the entire civilized world, defending azovstal, defending mariupol, we defend not only ukraine, we we defend all the values of this civilized world and all the values that with such a struggle we managed to defend and defeat nazism and defeat
8:13 pm
communism and i thank you very much once again for the fact that the united states of america both in the first and in the second and in today's aggression of russia against ukraine provide assistance to our state, dear svyatoslav, once again i want to thank you from all of us, strength to you from the number and to all of us common victory we believe in this victory and this victory will definitely be we thank you very much for the opportunity and time to address to our large audience thank you thank you thank you thank you very much and this moment of course the ukrainian delegation raised the issue of our heroes under siege at the united nations security council we call on the international community
8:14 pm
to help us free them showed also called on the organization of poor nations and the red cross to evacuate the wounded as svyatoslav said, who are currently in improvised hospitals. at the industrial site, i invite mr. arseniy yatsenyuk to speak. it is really impressive. it is incredible and it is very impressive how courageously the country of these heroes is fighting and my call to the free world to the international community to all governments to the ukrainian government must do everything possible to save these ukrainian heroes this is a true example of one of the most courageous heroes in the
8:15 pm
world history of struggle they deserve to live and fight to see their families and be recognized as real heroes who fight for ukraine and fight for a free world. now we live in a completely different world, a world before and after february 24 there is somehow no global world order here, authoritarianism and dictatorships are fighting against the free world, and putin's aggression has begun the process of fragmentation of the destruction of the holy order that took place after the second world war, it is necessary to create a new order, this is a chance for us, this is
8:16 pm
an opportunity that depends on whether ukraine wins in this war we have to win this war and we will win it no what is necessary vitally necessary for us in terms of military support there are two most important things the first is to arm ukraine provide us with heavy weapons for our army and quickly expedited procedure as soon as possible i am very grateful to the biden administration and the bipartisan support in the usa after the lend-lease agreement was signed and the allocation of 40 billion dollars for ukraine's fight against e putin's russia ii we must receive security guarantees
8:17 pm
after your ukraine - is regaining its territory, it is extremely important for us to have real security guarantees for ukraine, not those that resembled the budapest memorandum, and the only way out of this that i saw is for ukraine to become a member nato, sweden and finland have already decided to join the alliance. ukraine should be in this group, this is a decision. what would be in nato's interests to make ukraine a member of ukraine as soon as possible? determination, heroism and they showed that they are no worse than the military countries of the alliance. so, at the global global level, according to the order of the agenda, we should have such
8:18 pm
questions. the first is to arm ukraine, and the second is to do a ukrainian member of nato we will win this war i sincerely believe in it may god protect ukraine and may god protect the free world now thank you very much now i ask for the floor general wesley clark we are very glad that you are with us and my first question to you, mr. generals, i am very happy and proud to see you with us. we know that you are a true and very reliable friend of ukraine, and we highly appreciate all the efforts you are making to support us. we are talking about mariupol and azovstal, ukrainian fighters at the besieged metrological plant promised not to give up and this is an extraordinary human tragedy, the tragedy is not unprecedented, in your opinion
8:19 pm
, how should the international community react, what should it do in order to save those heroes . forum for arranging this discussion and i would also like to express my gratitude to the blue one and of course i think that ukraine's accession to nato is a reasonable solution to security problems, especially today when it comes to the military commissar of ukraine and of course there should be a ceasefire, a ceasefire in order to evacuate people from azovstal, i appreciate the list and bow low to all the people who are fighting for a free world for the united states and we
8:20 pm
understand what this means, what can be done i think that in the sense military, we will not see the americans attacking the russian forces fighting on the territory of ukraine. this will not happen, but there is an emergency package of military aid to ukraine, and i would like there to be planes fighter jets are also rzzv such as high-mar with a long range of action. and i would also like to see in a humanitarian sense the opportunity to do everything to evacuate the military from mariupol from azovstal. i think that this is an absolute humanitarian tragedy, what is happening now in mariupol
8:21 pm
requires quick and immediate help, intervention and we should talk to the international community, the un and other international organizations so that they demand an immediate ceasefire in and around mariupol, russia should agree to this because they themselves are losing thousands and hundreds of people near mariupol near zovstal, they are losing thousands of people, what is the meaning of this? of course, a ceasefire is needed, this regime of silence is necessary in order for the ukrainian military to leave azovstal, as it happened in the past, but we know that you cannot always trust the russians as it was in the 14th year when the green corridors were announced. but putin did not comply with it. this may seem absolutely absurd, but we know that it must be done
8:22 pm
and in mariupol, how long will this siege last? how much more tragic can the situation become and of course we should do everything to ensure that such humanitarian aid is provided more worth or you even export i hope the united states will consider this because it is an urgent security issue thank you mr. general but let's discuss the bigger picture soon you said that if by the summer the ukrainians do not receive sufficient supplies from the united states of america, for example, high-mobility jet artillery systems, etc., then the russians, the russian troops, will receive a maneuver advantage, and you said that for ukraine, the strategy of a long war is not possible
8:23 pm
, what do you think now and i, or is this all a war of attrition, what should ukraine do to reach a turning point in this war, of course i will answer this question, but i would also like to comment on it then my colleague general breedlov, he talks a lot about this, but i think that when they talk about a long war, it means that there is no need for bloodshed in ukraine and further escalation, and i think that our answer should be simple , wrong, dishonest, unreasonable and a bad strategy is to continue this war. we don't need a prolonged war, first of all, because of what it will do to ukraine, but in addition, china can get involved, and
8:24 pm
russia can mobilize additional troops, and this is not a strategy that we can put up with . to overcome it can be overcome in several ways , firstly, if ukraine has the combat capability to push back russian troops in the donbas , gradually cut into their forces in kherson in kherson in the kherson region, close their access to crimea and go in two directions, both in the east and in the the south and cut their troops, in addition, you need to get mobile means of protection and then close these e. if you want boilers or encirclement in two places, and
8:25 pm
for this you need tanks and rsv and helicopters and e planes such as su and ff-16 and so on and for this requires proper logistical capabilities and , er, relevant intelligence data, and as for artillery, we know that it is provided. now we know that artillerymen are being trained now, but what is on the field now is not self-propelled artillery, and we need to train people quickly so that then they came to the ukrainian troops and already trained their soldiers to have self-propelled howitzers, that they had f16s and other planes, you can’t wait because actually, it’s not that the ukrainian military doesn’t learn quickly, but
8:26 pm
a lot depends not only on from their skills, but also from logistics, these efforts must be combined and must be started right now, because now ukraine is using the equipment and technology and weapons of the warsaw pact, it is already outdated and the old soum planes can be used now, because russia has more planes, it can maneuverably win in ukraine, that is, in the near future, this window of opportunity must be used in order to first switch to nato standards and move on. i think that if ukraine has high moral standards, the right spirit of emotions -
8:27 pm
motivation will receive the appropriate equipment, weapons and equipment, including mi e-e 35 e-e and other e-e types of helicopters and airplanes from friendly countries, then we will be able to avoid the scenario of a long war, we are now saying that russia has no idea about what will happen if they act quickly, and of course they think that they will constantly advance and use firepower, but they cannot be allowed to do this, as the ukrainian president says to the french president
8:28 pm
. it is possible for him to have some protected places on the territory of ukraine. where the ukrainian army cannot move, and the prime minister spoke about this, that this is a matter of world order. thank you very much, mr. generals. as a plan of action for ukraine and its friends, you know, we are talking now not only about the victory of ukraine, but also about the defeat of russia, and the defeat of russia scares many politicians. how can the west prevent putin from threatening ukraine and the whole world with nuclear weapons
8:29 pm
? what can the world do for this? please , you are asking me. yes, this is my last question to you, general. first of all, russia and before that the soviet union have nurtured this fear of nuclear weapons for 60 years in the world and began how long ago there was talk of nuclear disarmament and how to modernize nuclear weapons, and even the ambassador in the netherlands argued with the peace corps of his country when it came to preparing for a nuclear attack, and it seems to me that western leaders understood that putin can use
8:30 pm
nuclear weapons when he wants when it is convenient for him and firstly what will happen so he hits people on the battlefield yes but he will do it now his artillery secondly he will scare the west and with the third world war well a few nuclear missiles from will launch but it won't be the third world war if he doesn't do it then actually it won't be the beginning of the third world war either but the west can say that in response to your e nuclear weapons we will use our conventional ones and this will be the end of your e-e army of your armed forces and we know how to move on all of them
