sunday, may 15. glory to ukraine, yuri. i congratulate you as a hero. glory. i congratulate you on a good, beautiful, victorious morning. well, let’s hope that the morning will really be victorious , so instead we see how the enemy is raging . dmitry medvedev begins to pretend to be some kind of russian hawk. the crisis of the genre and the fact that russian defense minister shoigu agreed to talk with the united states defense minister indicates that russia is already slightly reducing its, i don't know, huge claims, also in the last couple of months, the heads of the ministry the defense of russia and the united states did not speak, but literally the day before they had such a conversation, in your opinion, what should we expect because, on the one hand

, medvedev declares that russia will be uncompromising and blah blah blah blah well, but we understand that if such that he talked to austin that is a certain evidence well, indeed, the united states and the russian federation held such certain negotiations , uh, i think that, first of all, uh, the summons to these negotiations is caused by the ukrainian soldiers at the front , and precisely the fact that it took place, this meeting or rather this conversation it really testifies to the fact that the russian federation will start looking for some diplomatic steps today and at least talk to the americans because the russians understand very well that the support and the documents that have recently been accepted and signed well, let's wait and see what will be introduced in action

by the united states of america regarding the support of ukraine of course pushes the russian federation to these negotiations. however, i think that this conversation will be difficult for the minister of defense of the united states because the russians indeed, they always conduct their negotiations from the point of view of attempts at blackmail and pressure. well , today it is unlikely that the russians will be able to exert pressure during these negotiations, but at least some military issues will be discussed, and i think, first of all, now putin is probing the position of the united states america, what will it be like if the russian federation takes certain steps? and what is the united states

of america ready for today? it will be very important for russia to understand if any negotiations will begin and in what way will they, i mean, the americans talk about these negotiations with ukraine, the key issue is of course we understand how to talk about some kind of peace talks there, i don't know if they have drawn up a compromise, no one will because the united states has probably since the vietnam era or not i know about the iraq war, they did not formulate the issue so categorically, and the ukrainian issue is now no less important for the united states than at the time the story with bin laden was, that is, the united states clearly indicated its position received by the united states formulated the problem in such a way that the whole civilized world opposes the kremlin, in particular, it is about lend-lease, the already legendary meeting of the heads

of the ministry of defense at the rammstein military base, but on the other hand, we understand that it is not possible to fight russia endlessly there for the next few years that is, we may have to, but there is always hope that there may be some alternative ways. so, in your opinion, how close would we be to some i don't know alternative ways, you are not talking about ours the concessions are about russia's readiness to retreat because what macron says about the so-called saving putin's face is not an initiative of macron himself, it means whether lavrov or one of the other russian war criminals is signaling, so to speak, in his plus-minus face speaking whether from france or from germany well, maybe putin was feverish, they would be ready to crawl away if you blah blah blah save our muzzles, so to speak, wash his pores for retouching the blood on

him as you see this story with you are here to argue a little about the harshness of the united states of america, probably such a harsh position of the united states of america was last during the second world war, when there was support and allied obligations to the soviet union and the americans during the second world war because in fact, what is happening today is with russia, with an aggressor, with a country that destabilizes the situation in the world. i think that there was no such unprecedented support, and you very rightly mentioned the meeting of the defense ministers in rammstein and of course today it is just the first step to the fact that the russians are talking about a new

security system of europe after the war, i agree with you that the russians are absolutely giving a signal today through their supporters and supporters in europe what is macron one hundred percent that they are ready to talk about something well, you know, i don’t know what kind of conversations are going on between macron and putin, but this is not putin, who in the last 80 days, after brazen statements that they would take kyiv in three days, and received a push from the ukrainian of the army, and from that time on, putin began to talk about what you did, and we will remind you of this. and you bombed there in yugoslavia. and we also want to bomb. and we have pain for the soviet union.

today, this washing indicates that the russian federation is ready in one way or another to start a dialogue. but nevertheless, they are ready to start a dialogue. it is terrestrial the way from russia to crimea because everything else i think is of least interest to russians today if we are talking about the fact that they perfectly understand the supplies of weapons that are being prepared, the strength of the ukrainian army that exists today will inflict more serious blows on the russian federation and what is occupied or captured today temporarily captured thanks to these weapons thanks to the heroism of the ukrainian

army they will lose it too i think that is why today shoigu is talking to the minister of defense they need to show the russian federation or to the citizens of the russian federation who are sure that russia is waging a just war, they need to show and preserve, if not their face, then at least some conquests, because if russia today withdraws its troops from the territory of ukraine, either as a result of some negotiations or as a result of losing war. i think that putin will not stay in this position for a long time, but live. he is going this way, i agree with you.

we understand that no one from ukraine will agree to give up our land because this is already a story of not a few years ago, this is the new wave and very, very much blood, very many dead, wounded, maimed, yes, and right away putin should also understand well, that no one will be able to meet with him in the middle after those war crimes committed by his military, simply blatant acts of ethnic cleansing and genocide. that is, it is not only bucha, it is what happened near kharkov, for example, and so on. and so on, the country began shelling civilian objects infrastructure, but we see that the conflict has all the signs of internationalization, in particular, the poles have behaved extremely honestly and decently towards ukraine

. where is nazification in poland poland according to the words of this member of the council of the russian security council medvedev well, in principle, we understand putin's right hand well, because it was he who held the presidential pen there over the course of several years, so that poland itself may become the next, i don't know, object of russian aggression, you know, one of the ways out. i think one of the options from the plans of the russian federation, which is being considered by the russian federation, and where you can find some advantages there or find a way out of the situation that is the involvement of the nato countries, in particular the baltic states, and sorry for the baltic countries and poland, in this war, because russia

still hopes, and i think one of the options is being considered, that the involvement of these countries will mean that the conflict will grow and those countries that today, let’s say they silently support the russian federation. they will also get involved in this conflict, that is, its international character, the character of a direct armed conflict for the russians today would be one of the ways out of the situation . first, then it will be clear why the mobilization of nato countries are directly at war with the russian federation. putin is ready to push his country into the furnace in order to preserve power. i don't really agree. is there someone in putin's circle who is ready to weave a mess, and of course there is

dissatisfied, of course, i am dissatisfied with the situation and i think that this is the economic bloc of the russian government should be dissatisfied because they are not directly responsible for the situation at the front , they did not expect such results but nevertheless , during the 20 years of his rule, i think that putin has cleaned everything is at the top in such a way that today no one will complain about anything. remember this meeting on the eve of the war, which was not broadcast live, as his henchmen each went out and smeared themselves with the decision on the recognition of the ldr by the states, and in the end and the beginning of the war, as is already clear, smeared everyone publicly that it is not only him who will take responsibility for this decision , his henchmen and the entire russian people are also responsible for this decision, so i think that when these statements are made, it is the

implementation of one of the plans of the globalization of this a direct confrontation, a direct military conflict, to what extent russia will probably acquire allies in the event that nato member countries are directly involved in this military conflict. well, we will see, but i would not reject such an option we see the other side like this. as much as the kremlin is excited about the possible accession of sweden to nato in finland, it is very serious. because those countries after the second world war tried in every way to neutralize themselves and to maintain, first of all, good relations with russia. now there is no rubicon, so to speak, psychological from their point of view on the other hand, the quite strange statement of president erdogan gave something, because turkey, unlike poland, has

many, many questions, everyone tells us about the fact that erdoğan zalysh wants to remain plus-minus neutral blah-blah-blah that they want to preserve diplomatic channels of communication there, but we understand that turkey also allows anti-russian sanctions to a large extent, now turkey has tried to connect as a member of nato, i will remind our tv viewers that turkey is a member nato and turkey said that because of the fact that the kursk workers' party and finland are active in sweden, questions may arise regarding the membership of those countries, i say so for nothing - well, speaking of finland and sweden actually we also have turkey in mind, because it is not just with them, how they will play in our history, look at erdoğan, who defends turkey's position,

for him, this is er. probably the key question. i think that there are many games played by erdoğan and this is a game with ukraine is a game with russia, let's not forget that erdogan is quite actively playing the united states of america. i think that in the end, turkey will not put obstacles in the way of sweden and finland joining the alliance, but for this it will receive some preferences from of the united states of america because you and i have to understand and remember at least a few years of recent history that erdogan had a conflict with the russian federation with putin for six months, then they banned travel, then allowed it, the tourist season began, fly, the season ended, and a new stage of escalation began

shot down and so on and so on. erdoğan actually conducts such a hybrid foreign policy , trying as much as possible to get preferences from the current situation moment today, i think erdogan is primarily playing with the united states of america based on such a statement, and the fact that some concessions are being given to the russian federation, i would perceive them as erdogan's internal game, you are really good, so in the conversation you compared poland and turkey, where the poles are unambiguous, clear and direct. turkey still follows the eastern

diplomatic tradition. the economy, so to speak, you very correctly said about erdogan's internal game, there is an intra-ukrainian game, we understand that apart from the economic scenario of the military scenario, there is also an internal political scenario, we all in the country know very little about it now because, on the one hand, we are regularly fed this way in military affairs don't bother entrusting the economy to the military, don't bother because there is a government for this and so on. to someone, but in general. we cannot cover all these huge transformations, but there is a very characteristic moment that upset me extremely strongly. it is about the appeal to such a large

part of public figures of ukrainian journalists with the demand to remove from the informational joint telethon people who previously spread about kremlin narratives and not just yes, stupidity, but for a big rough loot, that is, they did it consciously, being not stupid people, being professional people, they could not help but know what it is when they provided in that collective kiv in the word of different people and people in this way shaped our agenda internally, i was personally impressed by the response from the ministry of culture. well, minister tkachenko could not help but remain silent in this matter, even though well, for example, the fifth direct espresso threw out the state special communications, in particular, from the network t2, in particular, it is about the activities of the state concern rrt, so here is what minister tkachenko said that there is no need for any

splits there. well, the favorite phrase that i heard from the late general marchuk is not at the time. some such elementary things, well, the people who preached medvedchuk's psalms can't, you understand all the psalms, now i'll tell you how he really loves his family, the situation in space was surprising at first, and now you can already feel the trends that are happening, it's very pleasant, it's obvious today, the authorities can turn on the television, well, this general one, i have in mind, the only channel on which there is no diversity of opinions , e.e. political today is formed by the people who yesterday called well for the

opposite things, then the viewer obviously has a question and a feeling that i don't believe that, er, and it was, you know, nonsense or well, that's what the government decided today, that's what they think because there's a war, we need a single channel, we need their faces. they think as needed, who seem to carry those narratives that are necessary for the state today and they really voice them. but the question arises whether the president's office fully understands what the strength of the ukrainian state is. why are ukrainians at war today, why today ukrainians are defending their homeland, why was there no need to invite the army to join the army? and the men came out in one rush on the 24th and stood in line at the military commissariat, so i’ll tell you why, because ukraine

is unique because of its many voices, the voice of many leaves , and it is unique because we had very many different opinions what we promoted here, what we are , with the help of which we, mostly ukrainians , learned to distinguish fakes from true information, feel what is happening in the state and make the right decisions even when we were wrong, i remember the maidan, the whole country was wrong elected yanukovych as president and still corrected this story on her own, corrected this situation, this is all happening thanks to freedom of speech, and if today someone thinks that freedom of speech should be controlled , then i want to say that this will lead not only to uh, where the gradation of the television product on these

channels and will lead to in the end, before the degradation of society begins, we need freedom of speech in the country, we cannot do without it, we will not, well, the degradation of society while the espresso channel is on the air, we will not allow it, we and our experts, in particular, and you, yuriy podorozhnyi , a political technologist, worked live on the air of our information marathon. it is about the fact that, well, we included luhansk region, which the russians got very firmly in the mouth, it is about hundreds of units of burned equipment and about thousands of losses

among the personnel, yes. of course, luhansk region is now such an extraordinary hot spot on the map of ukraine and it is sharpening there. these main battles are because the enemy does not stop his attempts to continue the offensive to surround severodonetsk and lysychansk, and that is why they know with such desperation and stubbornness that the doomed continue and lose their attacks there are more and more troops in this direction, the situation is very difficult. we are trying to hold on and we are not holding on . in order to complete this encirclement and fulfilling one's own political order, because from a military point of view, to continue the offensive in these directions in such numbers and after so many days without successful huta well, it is no longer expedient and it is necessary to go on the defensive to the defensive, instead, the

enemy continues advance, try to dig , and for a few more days, we will observe approximately the same situation, which will be tense, which will not change, and we are keeping our fingers crossed for our boys, but everything will be fine, well, we hope that everything will be fine about an hour ago, i spoke with the head of the civil military-civil administration of north donetsk. he says that they are at war, so that it is as if there was no miracle under belogorivka and, so to speak, it did not affect the russian level of aggression . actually what i said, that is, it is no longer about military expediency or healthy stupidity, it is about political demands about political tasks , because the team arrived, yes absolutely and with corpses, and you know i sometimes make such analogies here

were in the 41st year in october, when comrade stalin ordered the e-e commander to attack attack attack commanders attacked until they did not respond, so stalin we stop the offensive because there are no more personnel hmm, i have a feeling that they want to repeat the exploits of the orcs here feats of the 41st year ago and there is no reason to say that in the next two days the intensity of the enemy will decrease, they continue to climb our positions with the stubbornness of the doomed. well, our job is to respond accordingly and destroy the enemy without allowing his breakthrough, well, half an hour ago, i spoke with the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council. well, the most important thing is that the enemy is concentrating, gathering forces , gathering forces, which means that not only the luhansk and donetsk directions will become equally important for them, but the strike towards the north is

about the zaporizhia direction they can try to develop their offensive under gulyaipol, and absolutely absolutely, and we are watching it, and there have already been statements on several occasions that they will not oppose increasing their strike groups and trying to break through through zaporizhzhia to the north. because it is such a big strategic task for the enemy here to train our troops there along the so-called outer perimeter, on the contrary, for today, you know, despite this concentration, it is very difficult to say that it can be done. after all, for this we must be we do not see certain reasons for such reasons , because you understand that advancing in a separate direction without having some specific task of coordination is very difficult. on the other hand, we do not see any successes, such serious successes of the enemy in the north there is no direction in mind, and this periwinkle is where the enemy is actually stuck, so such a

concentration of troops can indicate the readiness of the enemy to advance. but whether he will be able to advance is already a question because that is lost, and if we see if already, well, i'm sorry, the head of the regional council sees the concentration of troops who sees it and the military and accordingly, we are preparing if the enemy did not manage to advance there on april 17, then it is already very difficult to say and hope that he will succeed today, because it is necessary to understand that they are not immortal, they are the same are exhausted and go on such desperate attacks, as i already said, only with the support of political influence, that is, of course, i agree with you, the key word is that they begin to understand that they are not immortal, and this, in principle, is spreading, and this is the main argument, so if the military is given a moronic no it's just a moron's order, and an order that can end in his death, these chikalists, his army changes motivation, so if there's a storm there

, you can lure it with a wad of bucks and a refrigerator, so when it comes to him, he starts to turn around, how do you, as a military person, assess the level of moral and psychological readiness of the russians to turn around, you know that it is still too early to say that they are all ready to turn around, because the inertia of propaganda is in effect and you understand, there was such a phrase at one time when one russian soldier asked his commander the same the captain, how do the ukrainians fight? and he says we don't know because no one came back there, that is, that's exactly what we're talking about. here we're talking about the same thing. they're throwing up new reserves, you know. by propaganda and when already after a hundred of those who went into battle return back at 20:30 at about 20-30 already understand that this is a problem and a very serious problem but unfortunately, russia still has enough resources to send hundreds and hundreds more into battle under our

our artillery under our machine guns. therefore, for now, despite the fact that more and more russians understand the senselessness of this war and these deadly murders for them. and they also have quite a lot of resources to use them against us, for example, the 810th marine brigade lost a lot part of the personnel that goes on, it is now replenished at the expense of other units of the black sea fleet and the fleet, including the crews of the ships, that is, they still have motivation and we have to work hard to ensure that this motivation is broken, i agree with you on a very important point, so as far as i i understand that on the initiative of the russians, that is, the russians gave signals to the americans and that he spoke with the autumn head of the pentagon , that is, as far as i understand, if shoigu, who has been silent for more than two months, did not pick up the phone

i spoke with the americans, it shows something, what about it, what it shows, what it shows, i understood, it shows what they are trying to do, you know, and it’s not just me, i would say, i would look at it, consider it in a larger context, not only the message that went from him to the guest on and also those messages that are currently being spread in the european press er through agents of influence that say that er let putin leave while saving face and actually here about that because what to talk about on very sorry i have to interrupt you now for a moment of silence for all those who died in this war. well, today our country honors the memory of the victims of political repressions. i am very sorry mr. serhiy
