the case is against you because i understand that this is not such a pleasant conversation, but for me personally it is simply not clear because it was not closed, in fact, or did they try to call you somewhere again ? open and in principle those body armor that were arrested, 16,000 sets of them were distributed in the troops, this means that there are no problems with them. yes, that is, they admitted that they are really normal and, in principle, the subject of the dispute is no longer there. i don't know why this one? the case is not closed because well, i don't know that we will be in court because they prove that if the subject of the dispute is no longer there, it has been distributed and the people in them still don't close their things well, i think that some and some in general, there are some, well, i i don't know what

is happening there. do you have any information about it? no. so far, there is no information. i know that the case has just been suspended and is not closed, but it is suspended. well, it is just like in tetyana chornovola's case, and they said that, well, we are suspending it for the time being. she is fighting. so you have a very similar situation there. well in fact, it sounds a bit cynical, maybe the war will end, i will continue to judge. i don’t know what the intentions of the prosecutors are, tell me, but right now, the most intense battles are going on . in fact, what is the goal set there or how similar is the goal to the one that was, for example, when the battles near mykolaiv were going on, there are combat brigades there are experienced officers there, the general staff feels the whole situation, well, i, i,

see it. if i think that everything is under control there yes there it's difficult. yes, it's difficult there, but everything is going according to plan, which can change the situation there, and it can, well, in others , that is, the next uh days, because you know, i think we've come to such a sufficient uh well, it can be difficult like that the moment of the war when the first enthusiasm seems to have passed the first, some successes have taken place, the enemy has changed tactics and people, you know, feel some kind of uncertainty, so something should give them some kind of hope, well, you understand, that is, a good situation that is, any point can change counter attack with on our side, but we must understand that in order for offensive actions to take place, certain

weapons, equipment, the number of personnel are needed for this, and there are several factors, so i think that everyone knows about this and that everything is building up, that everything is being prepared in the coming days, i think that something will change , but this is about a million, well, what they said there seems to be that zelenskyi said that there are a million people and the army, so yes, this is also what we are talking about. well, there are moments very good moments, but i don't really want to talk about them on the air. well, i understand. yes, because after all, you know, they ask questions, as if some time had passed, they should have learned, but now they have started offensive actions again, and everything is

gathering again. again it started again this story since you were directly related to it, of course uh well, i would like hmm some kind of your assessment of what here what here should be done quickly now or it is not necessary already it has already been done so that every hostilities do not start with what we collect bulletproof vests and fairy tales well, i think that's all the management made all the conclusions, and i think that something is happening so that it doesn't happen as you say, we'll see. well, i also think that we'll see. it should be when you say it should change in the near future. it's like that. well, if it's a feeling. is it just the knowledge that there's already something? well, you look at the maps where i don't know and see what it must be. well, that's what i see, what

i know. tell me, i'm here too. well, if we talk about counteroffensive and something like that, well, everyone more or less imagines well, not what they imagine, well at least that's how they think about the counteroffensive in donbas, but as for crimea, the counteroffensive in crimea is the same chongar, the same, all this how much do you believe in the counteroffensive, that is, in crimea? i believe in the counteroffensive, i'll tell you the way i see it. if we will prepare well, if we make him moan well, if we drive them away, then believe me that they will run all the way to russia and they will not have a problem standing er crimea is ours this crimea is not ours this is your impression of communicating with their captives or from the way you look like them

they are fighting. i am interested. i am impressed by the way our military and our people are resisting. the russians are fighting. what do you think of them ? that is, well, they impressed. they did not impress you. something else, their main as their main composition of their armed forces of ukraine is cattle, this is cattle, how many prisoners were asked there, each prisoner has a mortgage, each prisoner has some kind of loan, children, these are people who have not found themselves somewhere in a normal industry, no found work in normal places, they all went to the army, well,

they are the scum of society. to make something new there, those who have some aspiration for something, it’s just cattle that they collected, uh, they promised some kind of state program, well, repayment of their mortgage, here they all took it, they came to the whole earth to crush it well, i’m saying that there were a lot of such cases when they just came to the villages and these same ones the prisoners said that in your village, even your grandmother and grandfather have an oranii laptop for 24 years. i have n't had it until now, only dreams about it. but in your village, well , in an ordinary village, there is a toilet, uh, where is hot water, where is gas, and where is a plasma tv? well they were shocked, that is, they were not used to such a thing, you know what it is now, er, well, that was the information that , er, near the popasny defense, the

russian army had already done the capture of popasny itself, not even by regular forces, but the main part there, as if they played the main role -e pvk former wagner now they are there they have a different name, which may indicate that some otaki have already joined there and even shot down a plane there, which was also a pvk in agner, that is, these are pure mercenaries, you understand somehow they end, this one also ends by force, they end and people and they end and equipment everything ends with them, but they support us, and no one supports them, so they are already throwing some and they already have somewhere to take and throw to ukraine in order to keep their positions, because how do they understand that only they are somewhere they will weaken all this counteroffensive and it is lost the lost battle area is still the law servuan

equipment and how much can it actually be valuable there in the field so it is no longer a secret there is already data that they overturn t-62s with these trains there are already photos and videos of these formations well , taking into account the fact that we understand the degree of corruption in their army, i give 99.9% that 80% of this equipment will not start, but if it does, it will not be able to enter the battle. well, this is very good. this is a very good sign . what if they already they use that technique, it means that our miscalculations are absolutely correct, they are running out, they are running out of people, they are running out of weapons, they are running out of everything, that is, these conversations about the fact that it could be straight for years, do you think no, it is not about hands no no no, they won't

pull out this super for years. they won't be able to , well, it's hard for us and it's even harder for them, then i don't take months or six months, well i don't take it, give specific dates, say what it will end there on august 20 and there on august 21 the war, well, it’s very stupid now, it will depend on further hostilities, how the hostilities will unfold , and only they can talk about some kind of plus or minus, the approach of some kind of end to this war. now i can’t say what it will be, what it will be until the end summer or it will be until the end of the year. well, i can't say that. and if you say strategically, well, not only strategically, what do you think, actually, did the cooperation with nato,

for example, affect the possibility of our army to the opera? in the future. yes, she is very strongly influenced because a lot of officers, a lot of generals, er, took part in international exercises, they are a lot of officers in er, foreign institutions, they are not the same description and the order of relation to the planning of hostilities. it is very different from those that we use uh, the russian federation and this, too, it also gives us a big advantage, but what is happening now is that uh, new weapons are coming, these new weapons have different calibers than even the influence on the armament in the ukrainian army, this is with your point of view, uh, well it is possible to integrate right away, there is a problem in general now with the integration of foreign weapons into our army

, because there they also say that you have to study for months, but you can’t give it there because you will have to study it for three months. but listen to all this chatter, there is nothing there, you need to study for years and months, remember the 14th year, when our unprepared crews learned to drive cars in battle and learned to aim and shoot in battle, we went through all this in the 14th year. if there is a desire, if there is something, just give us something to learn. we learn very quickly and we there is no need to include a month for that weapon, there is no problem to integrate into nato i understand correctly i do not see any problem in order to quickly learn to use their caliber, their ammunition and or their equipment, why then is there a problem because, for example, can our army like it now now being integrated into the general

defense block is the only problem i see, well, this is purely my attitude to this problem is that they give us, well, such small parties, and they thereby delay and take away our valuable time. when we have adjustment but we have a desire and when, well, you understand that the further it will take place, the more time they have to dig in, prepare positions there, study the area, and this is this, this is time, and this is very precious time for us. well, actually this is what the minister of defense was talking about when he said that units should be given, as if they are not separate types of weapons, but as a complex that includes something, something, something else, radars, something else. that is, i understand this. wish - we would like to receive it well, but if to assume that there will still be a solution and where will they

give them, or do we have to wait for some time while our fighters are trained there, or can it be put into battle order right away? well, i think that we will use this time ourselves let's teach us, just give it, give it, give us specialists and we have, so that you understand, one gunner who , let's say, came to mykolaiv, one hmm, such a good gunner who prepared five calculations for tam literally in five days uh, na na tet-sati bushti, well, it's a lot. yes, it's fast. yes we just took them out on the training ground, they learned very quickly. that is, give us something, and i think that these are our problems, how will we learn to learn, how much will we learn, well, that is, these are rather excuses than real real problems, i am not engaged in geopolitics, so i cannot judge excuses. no

excuses, that is, i'm doing my job. well , let's see after the war. what conclusions can we draw now for building an army? in general, because we remember before the war, they said different things about what we might need there. purely contract army, what is possible, we need some kind of general training of reservists. how would you say that our defense system should look like? i would say so . we have a lot of comments, a lot of what we saw, what were the problems at the beginning of the war. i think that all these problems will be taken into account. well, i am not ready to tell you what we need to say. he has a weapon there somewhere keep in mind that there was a signal, everyone stopped and everyone

, well, that is, there is a vision, er, there is , in my opinion, valeriy zaluzny already said about it. he has an er, understanding of what to do after the war, well, that is, it may have to be something similar there, israel is switzerland there or is it clean like there, well, contract something no, it will be, it will be similar to ukraine itself, and i think that switzerland and israel will also take an example from us. we have a vision. we have an understanding of how it is right to build it, and we we will build it. do you think that the system in general justified tyreo in part? of course, we didn't have time to deploy it, we all understand it , that is, to a sufficient extent, but if we continue to move in this direction, it should play its key role at the beginning of the war, but it should be reformed a little. and what is your attitude in general to the fact that more citizens there own

weapons in general, but you saw it, you say that it played a big role that people were ready to resist, but they need to have something to resist well, i think it is correct to prescribe this by law, precisely the use of these weapons and the handling of these weapons, then i do not see a big problems if people will have it well then well, at the end of our conversation, if you were to say , well, about, exactly, at this moment in which we are now , what is most important to us from the point of view of the general mood from the point of view of what we need there military of some kind, what is the most important thing for us right now, right now, the most important thing is to remove any disputes between anyone, we will simply

unite and repel and repel the enemy. at the level of the whole of ukraine, the most important thing is that the main thing is to believe in what you believe. believe in the armed forces and stop , well, stop this, uh, there, clarify some kind of relationship right now, they'll just show up, just stand in one line, just forget about all the disputes and just show up, fight off the enemy, and then deal with it. thank you, it was dmytro marchenko , general. in our army, i consider one of the best fighting generals in general, thank you very much. i am sure that we will all endure, after all, we have no other, uh, we do not have another option or another country, so we have to protect this three, thank you very much. glory to the heroes of ukraine, glory to andrii, vasyl zima andriy

serhiychuk we are returning with our marathon, i will only say one line about this interview that i saw general marchenko, it reminds me a lot, you know, when stalin realized that it had started i want he really wanted to avoid it or wanted to attack germany himself is such a debatable question, but when he was releasing generals from prison, let's say the same marshal rokossovsky was also arrested a lot. because when the war began, it turned out that there was no one to command, only posipaks and all the generals were combatants they are sitting in prisons the same way, i see general marchenko, against whom there was a case that by the way , poroshenko was also bought out of prison by the people, er, tanya chornovola against some offense that destroys russian tanks, i really wish that this would never happen again in our history well, honestly saying , er, valery zaluzhny was appointed well, when, in principle, er, well , all absolutely western intelligence already said 100 percent that there would be a war, and only then zaluzhny became our commander, too, this reminds us that he was not here before commanders and then their wives suddenly received positions for a reason, for example, heads of

the ode, this is so, so, so, oops, why not? well , i would like it all to somehow remain in the past, we will not even mention it if it does not help a chance to be mentioned, unfortunately , gentlemen. well, we continue our ether and we continue to talk about the situation at the front. now we have valery ryabykh on this connection, defense express expert valery dobrogo day good day, we congratulate you, well actually if let uh, we would ask you right away about the situation in the hottest areas, actually. what do you think? what's new, a brief analysis, a summary of where we are now. well, uh, we can say that of course , that one of the hottest areas, uh, on the front is the

east and in particular, the situation in the lysychansk region of severodonetsk, and the enemy is trying by all means to re-open the supply lines leading to these cities and, of course, to harm, let's say, the implementation of a defensive operation by our defenders in these places, but according to the message which distributed by the general staff, and the latest operational summary indicates that the situation in this area is difficult, but controlled and currently the command receives the situation and does not allow encirclement in this direction, and also the enemy is making efforts to provide let's say yes, help

to his troops who are stuck in the raisin area and wants to develop an offensive from the district estuary in the direction of the slavic eh, but also, as reported by the general staff of the enemy in this direction, so far nothing has come out eh is the situation it is more stable in the south. and yesterday brought us quite a good result, which we heard there from the kherson region, when our defenders carried out a series of offensive actions, which can be judged indirectly , several aircraft were shot down in this area of the enemy, and this indicates that this direction was worked out by the armed forces well enough

, well, at the moment, we do not have the details of what happened yet, and as a rule, the main information will be able to appear in a few days. in accordance with the conditions that we have, if we continue along the southern axis, we can say that the enemy is trying to hold the line on the border of the kherson region, he is rebuilding there, he has begun to rebuild a wide -ranging defensive line, and currently there is evidence that he even proceeded to the construction of the third line of defense, which may indicate plans to hold this direction first. and secondly, this may be indirect evidence that the

enemy is actively acting and holding back by other means there are simply no forces in this direction. well, accordingly, the threat to the enemy remains and is still in this direction. the enemy will be cut off from the means of communication and fall into the operational environment that the ukrainian armed forces can organize in this direction as well. if there let's say we turn our eyes to the north or the country in the area of ​​kharkiv, then the enemy is trying with all kinds of efforts to restrain the advance of the armed forces of ukraine in a line in the direction of the state border and also in the direction of the main nodes which not there is a group of troops that is currently operating in the region of izyum to ensure communication, in particular, it

concerns exactly those efforts that the armed forces of ukraine are directing in the direction of vovchansk in order not to, let's say, prevent the enemy from operating unhindered in this direction and organizing the supply of e- there is a large grouping of troops, which is now stuck in the raisin region. valery, you just said that the enemy is digging and doing a third line of defense in the kherson region. and the situation is difficult in the east of our states, it is clear that it is important to have those weapons that will be able to effectively dig the enemy out of his trenches and in the south now simply drive the enemy away further in the east, they have even longer-range artillery , in particular, self-propelled guns and howitzers, that is what we need. well, in addition to the information received from the minister of defense reznikova, that ukraine will receive

anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship harpoon missiles. please tell me if this is an anti-aircraft missile installation that we can keep from the united states. there was already information that there are several maybe weeks, when we get them, the so -called mlrs, will they help to fight more effectively in the south of our country? and about the harpoons. i would like to hear more about whether these are really the missiles that can today. russian black sea fleet well, it should be noted that the fact that official information has begun to arrive from minister reznikov regarding the supply of new types of heavier weapons and military equipment from our partners characterizes well, certain

positive news and gives us reasons for optimism . well, it coincided with the timing. just after the meeting of defense ministers of partner countries in the rammstein format was held again last week. that the main organizational, and even more so, uh, uh, legal ones, let's say, those issues that concern just uh , not the principle and not the supply decision itself, but, let 's say, the coordination of uh, certain actions on the territory of those countries about which it's about er and it can say that there are similar systems on the battlefield may appear er, well, even earlier than er, it was talked about er, yes, er, hmm, first of all , we are talking about er systems that expand the

influence and capabilities of the command of the armed forces of ukraine strike e-e at e-e important targets e-e of the enemy and e-e let’s say to cause him significant damage e-e in the areas e-e of deployment a-a on the lines of support e-e of those troops operating e-e and that’s already a word it is not about tens of kilometers, as in the case of the barrel to the artillery, so that the armed forces of ukraine received it in the past period in last weeks we are already talking about hundreds of er kilometers, that is from 40 to 120 km, er, this will significantly strengthen the possibilities, and well, it can significantly affect the picture of what we will see, er, on the front lines of the

confrontation with the aggressor country separately, it is necessary to say that the supply of m-m e-e you already against ship complexes is also able to significantly change the situation e-e in the black sea e-e and this is of course very important because it is necessary to unblock e-e maritime trade of ukraine and precisely these systems they will allow it to be done it was said that at least three countries have already been made public that er have decided to transfer these systems er, it er is only the first step to the fact that the rest of the countries will also join this and if we can get er in the beginning e missile systems

well, let's put it this way. they differ from e-e type in terms of range, their capabilities, so at the initial stage we can get missiles that operate e-e in the area of ​​120 km. well, in the future, those capabilities can be expanded. first of all, this will give us it will be possible to unblock the approaches to odesa trade routes and eventually restore maritime trade, so speaking of those countries that provided these systems, these are primarily countries that know what maritime trade is great, unfortunately, we have to put an end to it. we will include you to the conversation, very professional comments. thank you, valery, m.m. ryabikh, an expert of the defense express , was in touch with us, so let's talk about this video, for example, where well, they are incredibly accurately destroyed
