allow freedom of speech to be destroyed in ukraine ukraine this program is a verdict my name is serhii rudenko . good day and good health to all. today is the 82nd day of heroic ukrainian resistance to the russian occupation. in the morning of may 16, odesa was shelled by russian strategic aviation planes. the russians launched a missile attack on the mykolaiv region, the enemy continues to attack the damaged and non-working bridge across the dniester liman, but unfortunately hits civilians. meanwhile, the defenders of kharkiv have reached the state border with the russian federation, the occupiers continue to attack azovstal and deploy troops in the occupied kherson region, the enemy is concentrating on the severodonetsk direction and is trying to take two cities from

severodonetsk and lysychansk, while in russia the occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment as of the morning of may 16, the russians have already lost 27,700 personnel, tanks, 1,228 armored vehicles, 2,974 artillery systems, 555 rocket launchers, 195 anti-aircraft defenses, 879 aircraft, 200 helicopters, 165 vehicles, 2,101 units of ships, boats, 13 drones, 427 special winged equipment units, 42 missiles 98 about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine the march of finland and sweden to nato the stalemate for putin we are talking today with major general of the sbu in reserve viktor yagun p

general glory to ukraine thank you for taking the time to participate in our program. so, last saturday on the air of the russian propaganda show solovyov life, the russian ambassador to washington, anatoly antonov , said that this statement will not be the surrender of moscow in ukraine, as brigadier general benhodges, who for a long time commanded and was the commander of of nato's combined forces and nato's armed forces in europe, as he says , antonov's statement means that russia actually considers this scenario, meaning surrender as a real possibility to which are you leaning towards antonov's or otjesa's scenario? well, it is clear that antonov's position does not interest me at all, the situation is different, the situation in that situation is that

ventilation appeared in their lecture. the leader does not know how to lose and he does not know what it is to lose and any loser, as a person who does not like publicity, he tries to translate into some kind of messages that are understandable to him and understood by the population, and here we actually and a situation has really ended up when putin is in a stalemate, he is in a stalemate er, well, we will be in a stalemate. yes, er, the situation is extremely difficult for them, they do not know how to get out, they know how it can all end for them,

we understand that this is the collapse of russia and what they will be what they will do in the near future eh same no no no not very expected uh very difficult situation for them first of all for them i am not saying that it will be easier for us from all that but we will see how it will develop how much we are talking about capitulation it is obvious as another an alternative way may be peace talks during the two and a half months of the war, the ukrainian leadership has repeatedly talked about the fact that we can talk with russia. but we have our own conditions that we can clearly articulate in march. russia tried to impose its own rules of the game and their conditions for possible peace negotiations, these issues were very actively discussed in social networks and in the russian press, as a result,

they did not come to anything at all, or did you still have some window of opportunity specifically for peace negotiations between ukraine and russia, if it remains, on what conditions can these negotiations be in order not to harm the interests of the ukrainian state, well , look every day, and by the way, the minister of foreign affairs said our demands, the demands are becoming more brutal why because we are just after the last stage meeting in istanbul, cardinal things happened that no one can forget, this is the recording of the crimes of the occupier in our suburbs of kyiv, these are things that are incompatible with the knowledge of the military on the battlefield, this is the interception of our special services testifying about their treatment of

prisoners and their plans for the occupied territories , and this all gives reason to simply ignore any requests from their side for peace talks , at the same time, we understand that negotiations must still be held at any moment there must be some logical conclusion to what is happening in ukraine and most likely everything will revolve around how to stop the fire and how they will leave our territory is another matter. will they agree to leave the entire territory or they will start talking there about the independent lpr of the dpr, which they have to protect, the latest information that our partners have about the efforts of russia, in particular, it

can be announced at the last meeting of the udc about what these territories that are now under the control of the russian federation, or the occupied territories of ukraine and other states, they take under their care, include their sovereign territory , and in this way, a nuclear nuclear umbrella is allegedly conventionally covered over them. i do not believe that we let's stop in our country, there is no stopping it at all, because despite their desire to include crimea in russia , they didn't stop us, we understand that crimea is occupied, and even more so, we should not stop before recapturing kherson, berdyansk , melitopol, mariupol, and all the others many years ago, i think that this kind of rhetoric of theirs will definitely not pass and this is exactly the red line that we said that

if they try to annex our territories that they purchased after february 24, if they are another red line if they demonstrate the destruction of our defenders in mariupol, the victory will not just happen. and when they understand this, they stop there for some moments and look at ours. and as it does not change, that is why i think that there are certain things that they are very afraid to do and it is critical for them to have the opportunity to to leave this contact and still start to agree on something, mr. general lev, yesterday volodymyr zelenskyi said that the occupiers are at a dead end. he stated this during his daily address and that the russian military special operation has already went bankrupt let's listen to what president zelensky said, we are preparing for new attempts

by russia to advance on the donbass, to somehow intensify their movement in the south of ukraine, the occupiers still do not want to admit that they are in a corner of the meadow and that their so-called special operation has already gone bankrupt, but there will definitely come a moment when the ukrainian people will press the invaders until they fully recognize the reality so that they would not be creative in kherson and melitopol if they did not depict their alleged power in the occupied areas of priaz and donbass as their staying there is still temporary, mr. general, but a week ago, during the so-called parade on red square, we were waiting for some signals from vladimir putin, what he would say about the future war and the course of the future war. it was expected that at

this parade, putin would announce the mobilization of the war with ukraine, that is, officially declare it according to your data, is russia ready for a general mobilization, as well as for the deployment of new forces to participate in the war from ukraine unequivocally not ready unequivocally not ready one simple one at a time for the reason that you can talk a lot about the fact that they don't have weapons, er, there are uniforms, er, they don't really have commanders who could lead the mass that can be gathered, there are 100,000, 200, 500,000 and a million people it is possible to accumulate in russia because it is not such a huge problem for 140 million people in the country, there is nothing to clothe them with, and nothing to feed them, there is no place to place them and

what to plant them on, for example, in the so -called hordes they are already forming not a motorized rifle division, but a rifle division that really gives out fairy tales the model of the second world war and uh, arming with mosinkas should not arm their collaborators , who are already in the fact that when putin came to power, they were with the society there, or they don’t have a society with the population that uh is in russia, we signed such a secret agreement we close our eyes and do not prevent you from stealing, engaging in corruption, uh, getting rich at our expense , building some palaces there, buying yachts, leading a luxurious life, and in return, you do not touch us, you give us stability, you know, what kind of salary

give you the opportunity to close the mortgage there once or twice a year, go to the sea or to europe, drink beer, and that's the end of it, no one demanded anything from anyone, they will not protest against putin, putin will not expect any from them protests against themselves , but here they are forced to get off the sofa, take weapons and go do some incomprehensible things in a completely different country, all the support shown by the statistics actually ends. behind the door of their apartment, you can tell about kitchens, well, not on the battlefield, and they understand it all very well, in connection with which the russian leadership understands that no one will go to

ukraine to fight for them. the forces have already been destroyed in february, march, april in ukraine, so the situation there is very serious, i will give it the truth, no, nothing will be saved because they have adopted tactics, now they are simply attacking us with quantity and poor quality, and we are forced we are forced whether we want to or not we are forced to somehow react to those all those moments that are happening on the front eh and well, we have to defeat the other one that is not given to us . platforms we are on espresso tv and also

on youtube channel espresso tv on facebook for those who are currently watching us online on youtube and facebook please like this video also share this video on your social networks well and subscribe to our pages in on social networks today, we have a guest , major general of the sbu in the reserve, viktor yagun, we talk with him about the situation that is developing in ukraine on the eastern and southern fronts, and about another front for russia, which is opening in the north, because it is one of the requirements at the beginning of the so-called special of putin's military operation to ukraine was a demand not to join the north atlantic alliance e.e. for two and a half months the situation with nato and nato began to unfold in a not the best way for russia because of its applications about the intention to submit applications

sweden and finland have already declared to join the north atlantic alliance, and the president of finland directly told putin that no one will stop him from joining nato. well, mr. generals, i have the following question for you: it is purely strategic, and russia has already lost because it is time the approach of missiles from helsinki, relatively speaking, to saint petersburg is a couple of minutes. this is much less than from kharkiv to moscow. in the current situation, will putin perceive this threat and will he fight this threat, because finland starting the second world war i took on the obligation to be a neutral state, and this was completely settled by the soviet union, and later the russian federation , even during the caribbean crisis, and finland did not

join nato, although at that time the situation was quite tense in the world, and the world was also on the verge of the third world war what do finland and sweden as nato members mean for russia for putin? well, he can make a good change about a bad game because, as the finnish president said, he was surprised by putin's calm reaction. in fact, there is nothing calm about it. you know get after this adventure in ukraine 1,500 kilometer border with nato directly with russia it is clear that this is just a complete geopolitical failure in connection with what eh hmm finland understands very clearly who it is with i don’t know if anyone has read the

message of their general on twitter, who said that it is waiting for us on the threat from russia, there are already 200,000 of your former fellow romanians who died in this war in the 39th year, stupid and buried in a few meters deep in our territory to our land, therefore we are definitely not afraid of anything. i understand that this is first and secondly the day of filing, or rather, not filing an announcement about uh, that in finland, where he was chosen in nato, it was not by chance that on may 15, 1918, the first war of uh, finland with by bolshevik russia, and this is also quite a symbolic step on their part, that is, they took a very important decision for themselves, supported by the majority of the population of finland, and these days, sweden received security guarantees from the united states and great britain, and

nothing can stand in the way until the end of the summer i think they will already be full members of the alliance, even though these two countries are certain, it will be 32 european countries, and this led to the fact that even in switzerland, discussions began in switzerland, which i don't know how much is unrealistic , discussions began, so we can remain neutral in this changing world, and this all tells one thing about the complete failure of any strategic er things that russia was hoping for, and secondly, it will definitely not be able to use the arguments that er nato is approaching their borders because it is already approached, and this one did not come from ukraine

or from the east, but from exactly the side that they did not expect at all, and i hope that the withdrawal of certain forces to open the border , which is now the nato border in the northwest , and certain certain moments are connected with the actual blockade of their fleet in the baltic sea, because now in order for their warships, their warships, to get out of the situation, i don’t know what it should be, because they will simply be covered from two sides and that will be the end of it. that is, this fleet will be like this conditional there, it is possible to sail a ship under kronstadt to kaligrad and back, and it remains to be seen how long the migrant will remain under their control with such actions of theirs, so in this direction it is

very sad and i hope that this will really be the argument that will help and from then on, we should join this alliance. by the way, the temporary representative of the united states of america in ukraine, christina quinn, believes that ukraine has a chance to become a member of nato without an action plan for membership like finland and sweden, because it is not mandatory part of the accession procedure, she noted that the pdc is a mechanism that allows a member state to meet the requirements for compatibility. if a state already meets all the requirements, the action plan for membership becomes unnecessary. well, after that, mr. general, how has ukraine started to update the army at the moment, because there are a lot of questions about the future of ukraine in nato touched on the weapons that are in the ukrainian army and after lend-lease and also after western weapons began to arrive in ukraine, the ukrainian army

with combat experience is obviously not inferior to any of the army, which is part of the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance, but there are still many questions related to the internal development of the state, the special services, the court , democracy, how the ukrainian state is developing, what do you think, is it possible to overcome all these disagreements concerning the formal matters of ukraine's accession to nato, e-e, the ukrainian victory, the victory of the ukrainian military , and the desire of ukrainians to be a civilized world, can this overpower all these formal procedures including what kristina is talking about except that they can overpower i think that we can we

can expect closing the question regarding er, there are some divisions on the part of the members of individual nato members and so on and so on. i think that this is precisely the moment that says that ukraine is not everything, not only can, but it must be a member of nato, the only thing it is truly rightly said that there are moments that should not be forgotten and this it is precisely those moments that should seriously help us in the future, and it does not concern the military mission of our armed forces, but these are the problems of the life of our society in the democratic community of countries that are members of nato, this is really the case with this legislation because

it concerns the work of the special services of their employees, these and other points. if we can avoid this at the first beginnings, they will definitely be pointed out to us in the future, and we cannot avoid them, we have to bring everything to logical conclusion especially that as for the judicial authorities, at the same time , against the background of these reports about finland and sweden, their desire to join nato, we are witnessing a dramatic situation that is unfolding in azovstal, where our defenders are located . who is currently protecting mariupol and azovstal went to turkey in order to meet with the president of turkey rzhep and i̇b erdoğan publicly they

already appealed to the leader of china so that he participated in the removal of these people who are in the dungeon in azovstal, there are many wounded people who need help, etc. during these two and a half months, rzep ertagan tried to act as a mediator between himself and russia, from the first he believed that his words would be enough for putin went to talks with zelenskyy somewhere in turkey, either in istanbul or in another city, putin ignored it, now there is an appeal from the ukrainian community of ukrainian women whose husbands are in exile eurovision with the eurovision stage, our representatives of the kalush orchestra appealed to the world to help mariupol and azov steel, do

you think the cardigan will be able to become an influential person after all, to convince putin to press putin, so that he would still help the turks out of here on the territory of the state of their state of our defenders is a very difficult issue and my opinion is that he will not be able to do it, unfortunately, because putin has no authorities left now, not the secretary of the un generator, the pope, others the leaders of the states understand that no one will turn to him there from the representatives of the united states or great britain, authorities for history , for him there is the realization of his dreams of the

destruction of ukraine and azov fully embodies all his phobias and fears for him are precisely that crystallized ukrainian nationalism that must be destroyed, i don’t know, to put a foot on the skull, you know, to say everything, we ended this war, and for him it is a principled position and, unfortunately, only he and no one else can solve this issue, this is just one of those options or three, isn't putin going to do some things related to the end of this war, but until the situation with mariupol is resolved, i think that nothing can be explained the stubborn behavior of putin and lavrov and shoigu and patrushev , why do they not want any kind of dialogue with

the west at all, because it is clear that their theory and their interpretation of what is happening now in ukraine is unacceptable to the majority of the world, all these statements about what is happening in ukraine neo-nazism these all the statements that the whole world is fighting against the russian federation this all these all the statements that only russia is saving the universe from a global war that nato and the west are trying to wage a proxy war on the territory of the ukrainian state why do they think that the majority of the world will accept this the delusion that they are rebroadcasting. this is the first and second. can we expect after this delusion that anyone will talk to putin about anything and even shake his hand despite the fact that thousands of people have already

died in ukraine, 30,000 residential buildings destroyed in ukraine, does he believe that he will be forgiven for all this and that he will again be recognized as one of the leaders of a country that claims to be a leader in the world? trying with his own mentality, with his upbringing, with his understanding of the world, to stand in his place, and to understand him, it is impossible to do, he lives in a completely different world, a completely different one, and it has long been said that well, if we take out the possibility of his mental illness

he acts just like an ordinary petty criminal, and of course a petty criminal, for example, he gets into some room that he likes a lot and takes the things that he likes. it starts all circles around not because he, uh, he needs it. and here he wants to show his superiority and this is exactly how he behaves in ukraine, why does he need to launch all those rockets in the cities and destroy buildings, schools, cultural institutions, hospitals, just to show that i can do it, that's the logic of their behavior is very complex, just as it is, it is also impossible to calculate it, and i believe that
