saves the military who defend their land, and china gives them the opportunity to leave and the chinese leader hears people around the world. that is, this is an attempt on real world leadership . for russia to go for it, of course and what does this give russia? well, russia is also forced because, excuse me. and who will buy russian oil, who will cooperate with russia, who will at least somehow keep russia afloat after the introduction of insane sanctions, they should also understand this, although, for example, china is in no hurry to cooperate with russia, in fact, russia sends its emissaries from time to time to seek help for the military-industrial complex, but

china is in no hurry to help. by the way, this could be a continuation of this e- e of the chinese policy of trying to save its image, which we observed in particular during the winter olympics in beijing , and on which, according to insider media, china spent secret articles of the budget, as he says business insider investigations were ten times higher than stated and more than 40 billion dollars was spent by china on the preparation well, and the goal was, on the one hand, to show that china has advanced infrastructure and technology, and on the other hand, to a certain extent, to save its image . shook significantly after the world learned the facts of

the oppression of the uyghurs in china and the significant violations of human rights committed against the kurin people. by the way, there was also information that china was ready to invite even the humanitarian mission of the un after the olympics is just in the uzhgorod region, but i understand that the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine in this event, let's say, she pushed it to other plans , well, in general, you see such a position in china, after all, we would like it, frankly, i would like it china took a more proactive position in the sense of putting pressure on russia. i think that this is in their interests as well, but we can see that, for example, it is necessary to state that i want to remind you that there was no vote on the investigation of military

of crimes and crimes against humanity in the un human rights council, and china did not support this investigation , he did not vote for that. that is, yes, that is. well, it seems to me that in the background, in the background of that, the chinese see perfectly well what is happening, they know perfectly well what crimes and what genocide is being committed by the russian military and the russian political leadership against the ukrainian people, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to it, it is impossible to say that a state that advocates compliance with the un charter, like china , constantly says no. the norms of this statute or to level the norms of human rights standards that should be and the most important right to life, it cannot just be put on the back burner, so on the other hand, i have to say that china does not supply weapons to russia and does not supply

technology, russia is now looking for them chips , semiconductors, china is not in a hurry, this is also, in principle, the position, that is, they are used in rockets, chips from refrigerators, well, this is a separate topic, i will tell you . the rest of us, but that's the situation. well, we'll see. i hope that, after all, this is a chance for china to demonstrate itself in an extremely positive image and reputation on the international arena, what they are ready to do. well, if not a u-turn, then at least a turn of the head in the direction of the civilized world and at least well, to partially share with him these values ​​on which this civilized modern world is based, let us remind you that according to the estimates of experts and human rights groups of the un, more than a million people are mainly uyghurs, it is a muslim

the hungarian community of china itself and other muslim minorities have been held in forced labor camps in xinjiang since 2016. in this regard, a significant number of countries in february of this year, a few weeks before russia's invasion of ukraine, announced that will not send official diplomatic delegations to the olympic games in beijing to protest against human rights violations by china. now we see that china's card may be completely unexpectedly played out for the whole world , so china can act here in the role of such a well, the defender hired a person to save people, and it could really have an extremely positive effect on the image of this country. so, we are waiting for the answer to this challenge, and today the wives and

parents of the defenders of the defenders, azovstali from mariupol , threw the chinese leader, so let's move on. before talking about our actual situation on the 80th day of the full-scale invasion of russia, here we see important news that we would like to discuss with a military expert, and we see that, first of all, according to the estimates of the american institute for the study of war the ukrainian army succeeded in repelling the russians from attempts to encircle and capture kharkiv, and according to the estimates of american experts, the battle for kharkiv was won by the armed forces of ukraine

. on our airwaves, i saw a message from the head of the kharkiv military administration, mr. sinegubov, that they might move in the direction of izyum, that is, counteroffensive actions continue further south according to kharkiv, well, this is very important because , first of all, you can congratulate the people of kharkiv because there are obviously fewer opportunities for artillery shelling in russia, and the city suffered extremely badly from artillery strikes. in the administrative building and projectiles flew into parks and even into the cemetery , that is, russia destroyed so much that it actually struck aimlessly, but what is the difference between the russian army in principle, where are they not they will fight like this, unfortunately, the first thing is that the ring is stretched, there will be no

artillery fire, and the second thing is that it is removed. e russian military, but partially. this relieves it is important, thirdly. liberates the positions of the defense forces, which were actually directed to the defense of kharkiv, and well, they acted only there, now they get more opportunities to maneuver and help our units in other directions. that is why it is extremely important. well, again , yes, i agree that russia lost the battle for kharkiv i think i generally had doubts that they would resort to storming kharkiv itself because of

the fact that it was fortified and because experience has shown that the ukrainian army is better prepared for battles in urban conditions and so look pay attention at an interesting moment, where only we have strong positions, where there is only an urbanized zone a, russia cannot advance. well, look at the donetsk region , for example, maryinka avdiivka. well, for the whole time, they unfortunately advanced to mariupol, but with what power, what forces, what losses they they carried it there and continue to carry volnovakh to this day. well, in what way did they simply destroy it, wipe it off the face of the earth. in fact, this is their tactic, and instead they can’t go further. it was better with the luhansk region, it was easier because those areas where russia passed quickly and not quickly, it is mainly a steppe zone, a sparsely populated area to

the northeast, the meadows of the luhansk region, where there are small villages. they were once again a small town there and they were stopped, so because of that they would have possibly found kharkiv, but if they had tried to leave, they would have been repulsed, and now there is no need to even talk about the fact that they can go to kharkiv. they are retreating, burning bridges behind them in in the literal sense, they blew up at least one bridge behind them across siverskyi donets, so that our forces, well, let's say, stop them so that they can't catch up with them at such a pace, so i hope that it will continue in the same spirit. three bridges were blown up in the kharkiv region, this is 17 km actually from the russian border and these are all these bridges over the river siverskyi donets, what is the spice that made the new chernobayiv for the russians the third

after the snake island? so i’m just commenting , they are also doing worse for themselves. they have to on the contrary, to force siverskyi donetsk if they plan further offensive actions and they withdraw and burn bridges behind them, so either it is our job and they are on the border with us, they will build walls so that we are not on them for sure, so they are already fortifying already like this and then they go and then they are going to the siverskyi donets , they are building pontoon crossings that our fighters are successfully destroying, and one more direction that we would like to discuss is the direction of the capital, in the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, they believe that russia plans to capture kyiv in the future and create a new state formation and include it in the russian federation, i would like to remind you that today the kyiv military administration presented a new plan for the defense of the capital, which includes updated instructions for the military and also new plans for the equipment of fortifications. what do you think about the

possible scenario of a repeated attack on kyiv? theoretically, this probability remains, the risks are because well, it must be understood in a global sense, of course, putin and russia are strategic, they are waging a war to destroy ukraine on this the genocide of the ukrainian people, for which you will have to answer ah, and the strategic goal, of course, it has not changed, another question that i really liked this week, as avril haynes, the head of intelligence of the united states of the intelligence community, said very correctly that opportunities do not coincide with ambition, that is the capabilities of the russian troops today do not match the aggressive ambitions of putin and the tasks that are set because of that, as of today, there is no visible offensive group that would threaten the ukrainian capitals as of today, there is a threat of missile strikes, there are still alarms, but thank

god it is more or less calm and threats, but threats of airstrikes remain, and the threat of a land invasion is currently not present either on the territory of belarus or on the border with chernihiv oblast sumy region is from the kharkiv direction, it is unlikely that they can move now, so they rejected it, and from the kharkiv direction, to go such a distance, it is still necessary to reach kyiv. sorry, it is far, just as from the south the direction of the dnipro is unlikely to be visible. well, they are held back there, they declare their desire to go to the borders of the kherson dnipropetrovsk region in the north, and they have not been able to do this for several weeks, so what kind of trip to kyiv is there under these circumstances? taking into account the localization of the battles that are taking place in the south and

east, we can say that as of now, i emphasize that at this moment there are no threats of a ground invasion of russian troops into kyiv well , mr. oleksandr, i have a question for you will you stay with us until the end of the hour or the last question for you and to let you go and include oleksiy golovutskyi because he is no longer in touch with us, i can connect him and we can stay for the three of us to communicate. do you want me to know that he you are in a bit of a hurry. and you and oleksiy will talk about the last question. i will try to ask it in a concentrated manner regarding the delays of the elend-lease. we know that actually these allocations in ukraine of 40 defense million billions in the senate of the united states faced insurmountable circumstances due to which these efforts are being delayed, they are currently blocked by the republican senator rand paul, who is

suspected of lobbying for russian interests. he demands that the bill include a provision on the absence of a special supervisory body that would monitor the allocation and use of the allocated funds, and this can delay the start button. yes, these 40 billion for a few weeks, so we hear the forecasts of the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikova, he says that he will hold out, but there are very difficult weeks ahead, of course, we calculated this defense sooner to get help, we need it right now in order to defend the entrance borders, repel the south, er, unblock the same mariupol, but , er, actually, we are resisting, that’s what reznikov says, although the situation is very tense. the allocation of 40 billion by may 19 is not for nothing that kirby makes such an assessment , they say that this is actually the day when,

without additional powers, we begin to lose the ability to make supplies, and this can really begin to influence the balance of forces, what is your forecast? well, first of all, i liked what the minister wrote, and i was very impressed by what he said that they would pay attention to ukrainian manufacturers, this is exactly why, and in particular, why my coming here to lviv is connected because my colleagues and i are engaged in certain developments here, which i think will give us the opportunity to strengthen the defense capabilities of our army, which we will show soon, i think . uh, not to our advantage, because it is clear that the unprecedented aid that the united states has already promised us. by the way, which was increased, it should have been less. but the lower house of congress voted and what is now being blocked is

certainly not very good, especially if i am not mistaken. about 100 million dollars that have not been used as aid, not even until may 19, approximately according to the calculations, well, now we are receiving the aid for which the money was allocated earlier and the supplies are constant, said the spokesman kirby's pentagon and i think it will continue to be like this, once again i hope that next week it will be possible to solve this situation, because you understand when i hear about control, but in the united states there are so many control bodies that control the use of american dollars that there is probably something more to create, i certainly do not want to interfere they will not understand their american internal politics without me, but simply create some more bodies, especially when it comes to the fact that the majority of these funds settle in the united states. this is not about bodies in fact, pro-russian money was absolutely about what you want, well, there, yes, there are certain factors that may

be pro-russian, so well, but i want to tell you that if this is the only thing that russia could use to prevent us from implementing langle, then this obstacle, i think, will be suppressed very quickly, thank you, but musienko the head of the center for military and legal research , oleksandr, is in touch with us, oleksiy holobutsky, a political technologist. greetings, mr. oleksiy , good afternoon. the situation can develop, the next block is already ready for you and me. it’s clear. well, a couple of words. it’s clear that the situation at the end of the 1930s and 1940s is not quite the same . it didn't go anywhere, even if you even suggested that

it's not russian money that's working on tv now, it's american policy and it's not going anywhere, including in the ukrainian issue, but that's if it's all the same after all, it is russian money, and if it is to a certain extent, even positive factors can be seen in this positive, russians constantly read various russian analysts. they do not really understand how pro-government they are - they understand how serious the langlists are. well, simply, it is very serious and it humiliates them very much mr. oleksiy , let's discuss the recent statements of the head of the main intelligence office of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, who was interviewed by sky news . so, first of all, kyrylo budanov said that volodymyr putin, the head of the kremlin, is seriously ill with cancer, let's listen briefly to this direct speech, the only thing i can

say is that we absolutely confirm this, he is in a rather bad psycho-emotional and physiological state . cancer bohdana also noted that ukraine's relationship with this in europe will reach a turning point in august and end by the end of the year. let's listen. the turning point will come in the second half of the year. august e-e let's put it this way, the majority of active military operations will end by the end of this year based on the results of this war. we will go to our administrative borders that we lost. during all this time, we will fully restore ukrainian power in all our territories, including crimea and donbas

, everything will lead to change of the political leadership of the russian federation, such processes have already been launched and they are already moving in this direction, what do you think, mr. oleksiy, about these forecasts, first of all , about the fatal illness of the head of the kremlin and a coup d'état in russia as a probable scenario for the end of this war as one scenario - it is absolutely absolutely possible but again, i always said this even before the war . constant expansion and putin didn't just go crazy , yes, and i don't believe it at all, he just wanted to play these games once again on the very low instincts, so to speak, on the russian, er, he feels a connection from these connections is really

absolutely yes he is. in the first years he was now a liberal in power. he even wanted to join nato. yes, but the people did not appreciate it and putin understood that it is necessary to play on the instinct of this people and he plays successfully enough, let us, unlike his younger brother, be a neighbor lukashenko, who was also a popular politician, he is already far from being popular in belarus, not only in the 20th year, but he has not been a popular politician for 10 years. putin remains a popular politician, despite all the authoritarian methods and so on. he is popular in russia and not only to russia by the way, that's why believing in a reaction is good in a coup, it's also very good, and history , including the russian one, showed that this is all. maybe, but in any case, we have to start from the worst option, yes. if putin is still alive

there will be no coup and the war will continue and be calculated in principle. although from the point of view of propaganda of psychological pressure, i understand that these are the right words, it is necessary to say so, it is necessary to show confidence in one's strength in victory and so on, but not on, not on the air, already off ethers outside of the public sphere, one must naturally enter from the worst of the worst options, how should it be done, and last year i had to leave again . well, i understand what it is here, but i, for example , only everything will be visible and i constantly talk about it, so to speak, yes, i should have to come out of this option from the worst, not from the best, or such an average option, so that later, after all, it is thought that it is not and will not go for this option, that is why russia has opportunities, and you talked about the kyiv offensive and so on, well, russia has shown in history hers that she can, despite any circumstances, just

yes, yes, against e, despite everything that went against her, maybe she lived on the last ones, so to speak . i wanted to believe otherwise, we are still at war with a-ah hmm a large part of the russians who i just hope that after all, during these 20 years they were so completely demobilized and of the regime because the regime was fighting with the russian people themselves that he, roughly speaking, is not there something like this is not done against the government itself if this people is his all aggressiveness ends on the couch, yes, i really hope so, of course. before that, let's discuss one more statement of budanov, let's discuss it with the ukrainian media, so, er, kirill budanov noted that in russia they have already begun to carry out covert mobilization, what does this

covert mobilization of mr. oleksii mean and to what extent is it will still have an effect, how long will putin manage to hide from his own population the supply of russian cannon fodder for the war with ukraine, well, it is hidden, they force conscripts to sign contracts, and ah, these are reservists who had some quite military, yes, they have a bar there, it seems to be a system called yes, and there is a sufficient number of people there, something like 100,000 people, so to speak, they can be involved, but i, i believe in this plan, i believe, uh, specialists, not our analysts, but russian ones, yes who talk about the fact that such knowledge is simply a situation well, and the american ones, that, well, this is the first, it’s not a matter of two or three weeks , yes, it is necessary to prepare seriously for about six months, but at least in order to prepare for the second time, they still don’t solve the problem well, i just won’t solve the problem well well

50-60 thousand will be brought there somewhere, and at that moment there may be nato equipment, e-e air defense guns. well, even more russians will have to be killed, that is, without general mobilization, as strelkov ghirke says, too, for 500,600,000 people in general putin has not set himself any task, it is not solved absolutely like that, so i think that well, a little. this is not what i think. that is what some experts and the military say that the task is to reach the borders of the donetsk luhansk region as much as possible and gain a foothold in part of the zaporizhzhia and kherson regions yes then, roughly speaking, negotiations on such positions, and how then, well, again, it

depends on so many circumstances. well, the country is not the only one who lives, so, well, she should somehow. well, ukraine is meant. yes, we are facing very serious economic problems, and we will not be able to use this money, so to speak, to support our economy, which should show something. some kind of mobilization resource, i don't know any idea how we should already think about it, how we will continue to live. because in the conditions that exist now, well, the country cannot continue to exist. this is also bad. this is also bad. it will simply turn us into a country that, well, a dependent in groups starts the european union, that is, there are so many problems, so many, that's why here with bohdan, we have one thing in mind, that all these problems of getting to the

border must be solved by the end of the year if we basically they are able to do this, because then other problems will start , that is, they have already started. yes, but then they will be completely different, and i think that putin also has such a plan. yes, he is. unlike us, he has something to sell, there are buyers. yes, there are people who are ready to tolerate up to a certain limit, there are funds that matured over a ten-year period, but half of it was taken away, but all the same, this money is there, and it may have been one of the plans, it is possible to simply sit out, that is, to enter the opposition positional war and simply economically, roughly speaking, squeeze it, so that ukraine is at a certain stage we are a democratic people and a democratic country. well, for sure, my stage is when gasoline simply disappears, yes, this is a question that can be bought. but simply, no, what will this gasoline be bought for if it even exists, and then the people will start asking you, for example. and here, putin , well, no one has it either . so far he is not asking and it is unlikely that

they will be asked. but soon i believe more in really internal reasons than that the russian people will rise up and they called putin there and there was a whole new series of fires and explosions just the other day at the powder warehouse of the military unit in khabarovsk previously in various cities, e.g., khanty-massy, ​​mansi autonomous okrug, nizhny vartivska, military commissars, industrial facilities, yes, explosions at warehouses in russia, this is also an interesting process that is actually happening in parallel with conversations about mobilization in our country a minute before the end of the broadcast, but this is also an important factor which we have to remember, that is, the situation is still inside the country where the population is not completely blind after all, and yet well, it has some access to information. well, let's

hope that it is a partisan movement, although again yes, i have been following russia for a long time, and it seems to us that this is something so strange . and in siberia it is also not easy, yes, the logging is huge for china in russia, and their people are just making money without thinking about the consequences, and that is why there will be more and more of these fires every year in independence from the war with ukraine maybe that's why putin and does not announce mobilization because he knows what his own population is capable of, which is shown in sociological surveys under the threat of criminal liability introduced for condemning the actions of russia and its army, yes, but another opinion is still in the kitchens and in the heads, according to some

experts well
