which is still holding on, but we understand that there are also chances in the russian federation, and in this sense we will end the war, we will keep it in the territory of the russians and everyone will be satisfied, so i have the impression that this is some kind of trick, some kind of insidious trick by moskovsky, the kremlin theory which arose against the background against the background of the successes of the ukrainian army , that's what i had in my head immediately, it somehow formed, believes that no one in moscow will ever agree to the fact that crimea and donbas will be returned under ukrainian sovereignty again, let there be with five-pointed statuses, this will mean that crimea is not russia, crimea is not ours. well, it has autonomy. well, by the way, it didn't have, well, it has autonomy. well , now it does. well, there will be three languages ​​there. well, there it will define its foreign policy relations . well, you know everything. this is a consolation prize for the fact that we lost the territory that we have written in the constitution. they recognized that we stole it. i am not sure

that putin will ever leave. that is, he will not leave , but what is happening is some internal processes that just prompted the event . for some reason suddenly say let's put up and i understand that this means something, something that we definitely do not know, because there are no more closed politicians in the world than russian politicians. well, maybe north korea can somehow compete there in closing itself off from the outside world, the west is simply afraid of the specter of such a famine. by the way, there is news that it is proposed to temporarily remove sanctions from belarus, that it could sell its goods in exchange for the fact that belarus will take ukrainian grain by rail to klaipeda , so this is also important, that is, everything is being done so that somehow the famine did not start because if it starts, it will be a completely different situation in the world than now, no , i have the impression that the americans have a

lot of opportunities to prevent transportation from ukraine and belarus itself. will open if ports are opened for ukraine, or russia, which also has a significant specific weight, will sell grain abroad, just well, just sell, or does she think that we will not, yes , die of hunger and we will not do anything no let's move now to luhansk region petro kuzyk tours of the battalion tarabaron svoboda congratulations peter please mr. peter good health thank you for finding time for us and look i have such a strange question for you, it may seem strange to many, maybe even to you mr. peter, look we for many weeks, we have been observing in luhansk region and donetsk region that the enemy tried to advance , nothing came of it, he retreated on the second day,

tried to advance again, got hit again, retreated on the third day, on the third day, on the third day the week is coming to an end, the third month and i'm just paranoid, or something to do with military talents, when maniacally in the same place they try to break through, it doesn't work, they try to break through again, they lose people, they lose weapons, they lose people, they need money for fish again, it reminds me some very old mother-mother joke about the fact that the partisans could not take the forester's house in any way, as a result the forester came and sent everyone, i will not explain where the russian cruisers are moscow in that direction, because what is this, what kind of tactic and strategy is it in general to beat your head against the

wall in the same place in the same place, constantly see that the door does not open and fight again with something or do i not understand something, everything is correct eh, it seems to me that there is a question here two, the first is the russian peace with its russian management in all its glory, and the second question is more serious, i talked about it later, the first is the task of spitting on people, on the loss of resources that you use for this, they take it when they won't be able to take her there are adaptations of the management team er without transferring the content of the materials and analyzing the problems and they do almost the same er second more global problem they have a goal er they have such a

concept as er barrier detachments this is absolutely true and it seems to me that these the units are standing in different forms at different levels and according to what we see here there is a line of defense and they are fighting in a planned way, here they go out there, well, our units, the first company, tried to storm the artillery shelling, tanks burned tanks, beat the approach they rolled back a little, the second company met them, the same thing happened, the story began to the right, i.e. they are looking for a weak spot, because they all really have a goal of occupying ukraine. even eh, well, if on- even the infantry yes, what

is here in the trenches, we can see where they are from some two directions of his movement, it’s just obvious no no the thinnest water, but the territory has already been shot at even by american systems, and they climb there, they get the burned equipment of the killed people , the units are changed accordingly, two battalions are destroyed there, the unit is changed, a new commander comes in, studies the territory . that they have mixed units and the primary link is the misfortune of people whose friends were taken away from the luhansk and donetsk regions - these are contracts that are also offensive to women,

they really don't feel sorry for them, and the third the link is different pillowcases for the kadyr - this is wagner, it's all there, the twist is that here adventurers are looking for adventures on the fifth point and in the end they are found forever in ukraine, and i was a witness that when they drove to our positions, they really drove people, and the infantry turned on machine guns the infantry naturally well, of course , it lay down and the contact is very short well, there are meters 50-60 m that is, i heard the orders of the negotiation and the commanders began to raise the infantry to attack him simply in russian, where were we the russian ship was well, that's where they took their commander sent, that is, it means that the task has been proven to the commanders, the task has been proven to their commanders, the task will prove you. they will really be responsible for not fulfilling this task, and the infantry is poorly

motivated. they do not understand what they are doing here , why are they here and so on. that's the way it is. it 's just very important, because you're not the only one, many people tell us about the blocking forces, and i have a question. and if the russians weren't behind these blocking forces, they would all be running away, that's the only thing that they it's holding back that there are machine gunners behind them and they don't let them run away, that's the only thing holding them back, so it turns out that it's full there. i apologize for the word mess if that's so . two commanders of their units were shot, that is, in reality,

they do not fight without such motivation. okay, thank you. petro kuzyk, the commander of the territorial defense battalion, svoboda, is currently located in luhansk region and told us about what is happening in luhansk region, where they have been trying to break through for many weeks and months , and something has gone wrong in leri ryabikh, military expert, editor of the defense express publication, valery, can you hear us? to pave between one guest and another guest previous i had a question without blocking units the russians can do something because where we are not with whom we do not contact in kherson region on in donetsk region in luhansk region in kharkiv region sometime in march on in kyiv region, everyone talks about these

menacing detachments that we remember from the time of the second world war on the territory of the soviet union, and then the question arises, can they do something without a barricade, if there was no barricade behind them, they would have thrown down their weapons and then started running away to moscow or what are these soldiers of the second order of the army of the world? behind, then i'm better in front, maybe, maybe, maybe they won't hit me. and behind, for sure, the kaderivites are being beaten. what is this? the thing is that if you take the main components that help on the battlefield to win a victory, that's the first thing. weapons, secondly, trained people who manage, and thirdly,

let's say, by number, but not if possible, this is motivation. and motivation is precisely the thing that is lacking in this unjust war of ukraine , and the occupiers, and this is the main thing is that when a soldier does not understand what he is fighting for, then in principle he should include other motivators well, that's a motivator, and uh, there are these punitive squads, uh, when you understand what you're doing, you'll go and maybe you'll find yourself somewhere uh, the enemy won't kill you, but he knows that they can definitely uh, kill you from behind, so otaki motivations are created because there are other motivators at the moment when, uh, you were preparing to go on a

tour of kyiv in three days, and you came and got lost somewhere for three months, well, motivators are kind of like that. they immediately disappear somewhere, in principle , when the minister of defense of russia serhii shoigu talks about that they actually captured luhansk region the fact is that the governor of luhansk region also spoke a few days ago about the fact that, unfortunately, after the battles that have been going on all this time, three months of the first full-scale invasion of the russian federation on the territory of ukraine, there are only 10 % of this territory of the luhansk region, and well , this is the objective reality that we are facing and what we are at the moment, namely the cities of

severodonetsk and lysychansk, they represent exactly these, let's say, the extreme 10%, parts of the luhansk region i understand that the occupiers could not still there to do task number one, then task number two, let's say this one, go to the borders of donetsk and luhansk regions, they want to at least complete this micro-task number three, detect at least on the border of luhansk region, -er and can present it as a big er victory, but we see that er cities are now on the way, and in this case, let’s say, the experience of mariupol shows that er will cope with cities in the case of a competent introduction of defense to the enemy so

simply not it will be possible. that's why right now the situation in the direction of luhansk is quite difficult because the enemy is making every effort to surround the defenders of these cities of the last raft of the luhansk region, and in order to achieve at least a minimal victory in this war at this stage, they have already confused themselves in these stages that they are leading there. and tell me, in principle, do you understand why the russians did not prepare specifically for the war in the cities, well, the thing is that they have such a rather complicated history of relations, in general, but in the military plan, it is not like that a very revealing story and well, we saw their actions uh, where

they gained the last experience - it was in syria, and the series showed that there was also the same story uh, very bad for the russians, because without the complete destruction of the stronghold of defense, uh, they could not do it, and they currently have not worked out the issue of conducting assault actions, but there is a little imagination in order to simply use all, even barbaric methods in order to destroy the defenders , as we have seen in syria and uh, heavy bombs were used chemical weapons too the very handwriting we saw during the battles for mariupol , when several tons of bombs were used to shoot down, including residential quarters

, in order to demolish the last stronghold, which is still protected by our defenders, keeping while the presence on the territory of azov has stabilized. and mr. valery, your er, your namesake, mr. zaluzhnyi, said yesterday that there is a strategic breakthrough on the front in favor of ukraine, on the other hand, the operator of the luhansk region says that 90% now belongs to the russians, legally but physically. then the question arises these two points of view do not contradict each other if there is a strategic breach in favor of the ukrainian army on the one hand and volodymyr on the other, we lost 10% of the luhansk oblast eh well, look, we just see the views from different levels

of management if the governor of the luhansk oblast eh -he talks about the area for which he is responsible eh and well, for now he states the fact that eh he sees and eh feels because of course what he is worried about every piece of eh luhansk region for every settlement that falls under e-e temporary occupation with on the other hand, the commander-in-chief speaks from the position of, let's say, a general strategic assessment of the situation, and here it is possible to use his words to cite what, how to take what, and look at the primary map, which was drawn up after february 24 and then during er two weeks er means the zone of offensive actions of the russian federation spread over more than 2,000 km of the front, how in

these conditions was it possible to organize such a circular defense of the country and if we compare it with the map that is currently drawn up er in the theater of war then you can see that currently, of the territories that were occupied at the beginning of this large-scale war , you can currently see somewhere in the region of 60%, in principle 40%, of the territories of ukraine previously captured by the russians, they have been liberated and of course that the enemy, having realized that he cannot achieve those strategic goals that were set, including the seizing of power in kyiv by planting such a regime, he moved on to more practical things, let's say, concentrating

on the achievement of the second goal, in order to and to justify at least somehow before the people who have been held in the information power for a long time in general, and to justify the supposedly special operation that they announced and continue, let's say so, to claim that it is going to their own voters well, let's say that there was some kind of justification. and of course, now all these forces that were stretched around the entire perimeter of the enemy's offensive are concentrated in the east of the country, and in the first place, especially the last ones. it clearly means the transfer of the

enemy’s troops to this very direction. the direction can indicate that, as well as the goals. thank you very much, military expert, editor of the defense express publication. to support now maria ionova, people's deputy of ukraine, member of the kyiv committee of the verkhovna rada on foreign policy and inter- parliamentary cooperation, who was recently in brussels and has a lot of questions for her too mrs. maria good health thank you for finding time for us and mrs. maria appealed to you again to support gender equality, don't listen to him with that, i was just trying to compliment you, it didn't work out for you and for mr. maria, everything works out, see here , too, some controversy on the one hand, charles michel , the president of the european council, they say that it is necessary to somehow activate and this is a hint of a general change of position. so they somehow very coldly reached the

expansion for a very long time in various countries, they promised the western balkans, they promised it did not work out. there was no european union. it cannot be considered quickly, there is a certain controversy here, so tell me , after all, should we knock on that door, or can we stop knocking after scholz's statement that everything will take a long time? and as always, unfortunately, some countries of the european union have not yet reached know their comfort zone and still think about themselves, let's say, find some formula for cooperation with russia. i'm not talking about ukraine right now, that is, unfortunately. federations er and this applies not only to germany, it also applies to france and we just understand with you what a-a let's say the position of germany it is one

of the key ones because it affects - it affects exactly the other countries of the european union i am more concerned about italy's statements yes and let's say yes, such a plan again. they give us some plans. i would very much like our country and our government to clearly say what our plan is and what, besides obtaining the status of a candidate. that we reject what is now trying to a-a to propose and talking about our visit brussels is also good and it was a visit of a parliamentary delegation where there were representatives of their people of european solidarity of the voice and indeed on the diplomatic front we work as a single team because for us obtaining the status of a candidate is just as important and we know that we are closing we want to keep as closed as possible that again in france, you do not know

, the conclusions have not been fully drawn, and the question should not be asked now, because if we are talking about the european parliament, it is, after all, that institution speaks more about political, let's say such statements a-a but although we our messages are the following that a-a now is the time for real action and on some words and we were on a several committees at the meetings and what concerns security and defense the committee was closed and and foreign affairs and transport and agriculture , because we know with you what issues are related to the quota and the issue of delivery and export of our grain, that is, all this was discussed. be in some there is the second grade or there is the second league, i forgot what it is called in football, its premier league, yes. there is some kind of second league. that is, we clearly need the status of a

candidate and we do not need to confuse it with western beams. they are waiting there for a long time there, there is also moldova, georgia, there are no questions, we are for them to go to europe as well. well, they are in the european union, but it is important for us now, in such conditions, that they know that they clearly showed putin that the european union is with ukraine not a specialist in audio, and that's why we had them as well meetings with every political group of every political group, well, except for the extreme left, and there where, oh, again, we emphasized on weapons, on sanctions, and the fact that now such blackmail has also started, well, you know, again, let them come to ukraine and watch what is happening in our country, then it will be easier for them to make decisions about the strategy for russia and about such an effective strategy for

ukraine, and we would be very happy to show them not only bucha and borodyanka, but also the villages of kharkiv oblast, trostyanets and chernihiv, and we will again anyway we are talking about the fact that we still do not understand what will happen in other occupied places and cities, and that is why it is very important now to take a clear position, you know, for some half-measures, half-solutions, and again something is invented. it seems that there is no such political power there, i don’t take the former ones into account at all now, but what we now have to work with is very strongly with countries like france, germany, austria , the netherlands, begy and even sweden. germany because what if a party from ukraine, hmm, is it less constructive

, then what concerns the chancellor is very important here, it is very important to work systematically pragmatically and talk why will it be beneficial? well, what if ukraine would still be an asset for the european union in the context so political in the context of strengthening democracy. and the fact that we have to fulfill the criteria and continue to work to start this negotiation process and there must be a mechanism for monitoring the implementation of certain reforms for us is very much strengthened, no one excludes this and we cannot to refuse it, on the contrary, ukraine should be interested because it is, you know, this cooperation lacks trust, unfortunately, really. let 's say that for three years, the issue of trust is the fulfillment of certain criteria. it is on the agenda now, and it is important in the political

context . to show that the european union is not in the words of the audience, but it shows that ukraine is part of the european union and in the european family there were pressures. to be honest, the fetishization of this candidate status is disturbing because it can always be about him let's talk like this, we will be candidates, they will give or not, maybe they will, but i always remind you that the candidate members of the european union, let's say turkey and serbia, turkey hasn't existed for decades, but serbia is even now there, charles michel is our great friend, we don't follow it he was in belgrade and roasted together with the president a student of the czech republic, or everything is so wonderful, but serbia does not introduce sanctions against russia , it does not come particularly close to the european union, but it is a candidate for the eu, and everyone knows about this satisfied well, i have a question, will we find ourselves in such a role as an eternal candidate, uh, now we still show society to ukrainians, 92% support

joining the european union, and yet our agreement is very different from those countries that already have the status candidate a-and there are also talks about the fact that our integration of our application will be strengthened there according to the sectors that we already have in the year about the association eh i think that it is not necessary to come up with some uh other options for the application a-ah we we cannot compare not with the western balkans. not with moldova, not with georgia. that is, we respect the decision of each country . each country has its own expensive agreement. our agreement is unique, and the european union also knows about it. there is a unique e in the context of the umbrella, so i say that tomorrow is the one, but our authorities from all how we

will fulfill these criteria but combine combine i would not combine it with other countries thank you ms. maria yes we had maryka deputatska, a member of the committee of the verkhovna rada with issues of foreign policy between parliamentary cooperation thank you ms. maria very much well come on, maybe they will accept a bottle of good wine in june as candidates or not, but whatever i feel, they will not accept you well, then we will drink, i am not sure and i am not sure i will argue now. but it seems to me that i do not see such obvious chances to receive this candidacy and i do not understand, again, i do not understand why. because, again, this candidacy does not mean anything in principle, in fact it does not means even at the beginning of the negotiations. no. as far as i understand, this means that you can look into the pocket of the european union, look more closely at it. now they give money to certain candidates,

but now they give much more than to all the candidates together . it was definitely because of the war, yes, because of the war, of course. is a huge question . why can't they make this symbolic gesture , even if they are not in the mood for ukraine to actually join the european union, because in this situation, after the end of the war, they can it is easy to demand for years, no one, even no one, will be able to oppose anything here. i believe that it will be a mistake if ukraine does not receive the status of a candidate for eu membership, as i believe. by the way, what will be a mistake? why should we assume that this means automatic membership? no, it does not mean a long road for everyone there will be conditions
