in donetsk directions, what do you think lukashenko will decide to directly involve his troops in russia's war against ukraine, because it is clear that he is not a co-author of putin's war, but until now belarusians have not fought in ukraine, i am more inclined to thoughts that after all, it is unlikely that belarus will enter the war. hmm, it is true that it still harms us in the sense that we do not have a hundred percent guarantee. we are forced to keep part of the troops and forces there. iskander complexes and this is a 500 km missile launch range and it can er can be used by the russian federation a-a for a-a strikes on our western regions, well, that is, from the territory of belarus to russia, yes, as it happened during the first

month of the war and er- e and aviation and belarus and a and there is still such a not entirely pleasant fact that the russian aviation returned to the koranovichi airfield in baranovichi, of course, let's hope that the self-proclaimed president of belarus will not dare to start an open war against belarus of ukraine, because it is clear that this will affect the domestic political situation in belarus in a certain way. since we remember how two years ago, the self-proclaimed president won the elections . this is taken into account. thank you, mr. oleg, for the conversation. it was oleg zhdanov, a military expert, a colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine. and then we have an army general on the phone. the former head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine. mykola malamush.

to see you on our air, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes . let's play together. thank you, mr. mykola. so, mr. general . tell me, please. let's put the dots together. journalists of at least four publications about britain assumed that putin's death will be hidden by his entourage for the time being, but they are preparing the ground by launching rumors that their leader has blood cancer. on the screens is a former deputy of the state duma of russia who did not vote for the annexation of crimea, he writes about the same event about four british newspapers that circulated information about putin.

we remember that rumors about cancer recently sounded in the american the director of oliver stone, who previously supported the kremlin, can this be taken as serious information, or is it still an informational and psychological special operation of russia, which is carried out by the hands of foreign mass media , well, first of all, russia has long been launching such an event for some kind of operation to show that this is, as it were, a provocation against them. it is a call to fire on themselves, and then, accordingly, they deny that they are so strong. putin is healthy yesterday and lavrov declared that this is all a fake, that putin is extremely healthy is shown on the screens every day and manages the process ah well it is clear that even if e-e foreign media are involved e-e and from the submission of agencies they will be decrypted accordingly the parcel was sent to the

special services ot for example to us and the six development of britain e-e other special services or sources and ot see, the operation is being implemented in order to maintain the image of putin himself, why is this an information hoax? well, the most important thing is the desire that people expect such a format, then to hide something very difficult even in the authorities of the situation, such information is confirmed to me and understood, they should perceive it as another special operation, there is an interested person as the kremlin and beyond its borders, therefore, we will expect real and possible actions and events and, accordingly, the consequences of such possible situations related to the political leadership of russia, including putin. mykola, during the times of the soviet union, the americans monitored leonid

brezhnev's health quite carefully. there were legends about how in the hotel rooms under brezhnev's hotel room abroad, how spies tried to get something. ilyich in order to obtain a certain picture of the health of the general secretary of the central committee of the cpsu in the modern world based on the results of the obtained results, or do foreign intelligence agencies of various countries use e-e what tools do we have in order to understand putin is not a putin double is not a double alive or dead er does he have cancer or does he not have cancer how much in today's world is this information more accessible and more modern in getting this information well in

first of all, we correctly say that technology has already advanced, no one drills holes or any channels there in order to hear someone, and first of all, not in terms of health, in terms of information gathering, such operations were carried out, it is clear that now there are hundreds, i will directly say the method without deciphering the identification of the person, these are electronic means, these are video means, these are means that are related to the performance of functions by this person and the stylish execution, it is clear, psychological portraits, language, and different names are external signs and communications from this person with its partners close to the environment, and for this there is a powerful national security agency, for example, the usa, it has the capabilities of electronic control, video control, space control, and encryption control completely and clearly apparatuses for the psychological study of a person and possible consequences of his activity, predictions of a specific purpose of the program, a supercomputer is involved,

i will directly say that these are huge rooms with modern computer equipment that, if you evaluate the situation and the information, it is clear, and the leaders who can really pose a threat to that in given the situation, i think that we too, and especially my colleagues, are 100 percent in the same situation with regard to putin, as for his health, he really has health issues. my colleagues have confirmed this many times, but to they were. well, today it is radical for money for him. i think it is still too early to talk about it, you know, this story reminded me of the story of adolf hitler, when on april 30, 1945, he shot himself near his bunker in berlin, when the soviet troops were already entering the capital of germany. a lot after that, even after the suicide, there was a lot of information and speculation about the fact that hitler escaped, that it was a double, that in fact this imitation was a suicide, and this is the topic during the last

80 years, well, literally or 75, it is constantly it is always cool and it is constantly being discussed whether it is possible to believe in some conspiracy theory that putin will, relatively speaking, step down from power, but it will all be simulated and it will be shown that something happened to him, but he will remain alive, and russia will get out of this pique in what he has now the master of the kremlin not only his country but the whole world that i think that in modern conditions it is possible to get his secret somehow and it can work for him and for me . does not manage the process, although there may be an agreement, when there will be an extraordinary and powerful loss of the russian federation, especially in the military sphere, economic, social, and even more internally, it can destabilize . it may

be in order to calm down the situation, as in the past , but in others today it is already in the conditions of a really real global war where he is imagined to be the culprit and, accordingly, some kind of example will come the transitional democratic government is here, if there is one, i think it will be hidden at first, and then it will be legally announced that such a mechanism has taken place . by the fact that we have already realistically assessed the situation, this is only so far our previous forecasts , plans, we still need to achieve such success and our partners that the russian federation as a whole did not have a perspective, but we had powerful first of all combat victories and then, of course, we have already raised the topic of russia regarding the fulfillment of all agreements, will it be

with putin or with someone else, and he will be removed somewhere , but history will show this, but the fact that the prospect of such actions is very real and that even then the political elite will ask the question that blame putin and already either suspend him or later even make him guilty to judge it will already be shown in the format of how much russia will lose precisely and the perspective advises martial law in the first place once again during the time i emphasize and it is clear then the question will arise that the summer of russia and especially the entourage will er save itself and will somehow not be able to get out of the situation by saving putin regarding the future of the russian war in ukraine regarding the presence of russian troops on our territory, the president has already offered putin several times and zelensky to meet in a tripartite format on the territory of turkey, now erdoğan is saying that he

is ready to arrange this meeting on the phone, the phone conversation should take place in the next few days what or who will force putin and erdoğan to sit down at the negotiating table or start at least some kind of dialogue with volodymyr zelenskyi? or a number of promising humanitarian projects, for example, the exchange of prisoners, some other humanitarian issues are possible, the question of the azov residents is extremely relevant today. not even online, as it is supposed to be via video link. and they will be during the eskat negotiations together with our powerful partners. and what can be done, i can simply state two powerful

factors: the first is the main factor - it is the victory of our armed forces of ukraine on all fronts and in donetsk luhansk, kharkiv , zaporizhzhia, kherson, this is what is expected in the coming months. i think that this this format will respect putin for the negotiations systematically quickly and accordingly in our conditions. today, we already want to talk why he, through the sun yesterday, for example , through macron, today through erdokan, offers different options, but to dictate his conditions, that is, he conquered, for example, and conquered today, and already from severodonetsk, he wants to capture the donbass completely and also strengthen the position in the south bright and on such conditions - together zelenogan as we will say on our terms, this will not be unambiguous and therefore in this situation there will be no gain in this negotiation in the process, the first will be the gain - this is really when we will have an extremely powerful position regarding e positions at the front and the second component is the

consultation of powerful forces. i once again emphasize the more decisive position of the united states and the european union , britain, it is clear that this is a union of twenty countries, including and especially china in those conditions. i think that in the situation will really put a lot of pressure on putin that he understood that there is a military exit in ukraine and we will show it realistically and politically and economically . weapon spacers, are you already thinking of some countries and, accordingly, the supply of metal grain, all countries, they also buy arab traces of africa, this is today, the consultation of the general education system is clearly against putin, it will clearly ask the question whether he still goes to the negotiations on the terms of ukraine, supported by

the civilized world, including not only the rejection and the chinese format is different. then, accordingly, the question of the status and exit of the entire territory of ukraine is at stake, and security and the prospect of the liberation of crimea are one component, this is what provide the nearest prospects, if he chooses the fall function, i will say it directly, this is a protracted war and he has fallen into a very big, big pitfall, this is what we emphasize once again by all means, even before the war, you will talk about it, what will the war be, respectively . this is the end for you after the start of the war. by all means and we transmit information directly to us through the channel, this is a big setback for putin, who is really bringing victims to ukraine and europe, this is our trouble, it is huge that he is creating here today, but this is a prospect that will give a powerful a blow to the russians, to russia, to the elite and to putin himself, in fact, he will not win in this situation and we

lost. he sees that he lost in kyiv and, accordingly, in kharkiv and in other regions, now they are trying to take some separate regions in order to have some more decisive uh, a negotiating position, and even advancing in some directions to severodonetsk, for example there or liman , does not work out. solve the problem now, there is a powerful formation of new population reserves on the prose of the month, we already see powerful programs for the supply of weapons and not only by lisa's field in all directions. and this is the prerequisite for winning the new technological war of motivated fighters, commanders and representatives of the entire sector of ukraine, and of course will support the citizens of ukraine against those who are today's enigmas. yes, indeed, even today we should not calm down and underestimate the aggressiveness and longing of the russian federation, but the prospect of each

one of them is falling with each week, and this today, the situation is extremely important in order for us to raise morale and work very hard on that model, not only defense is active. they ask where the enemy will not just sit in the cities. for example, kherson will not sit enough if we conduct an operation of planned strikes and the encirclement, they will quickly flee so as not to stop there in the cauldron in the same way, then it is not necessary to storm the cities is our land and can impose such conditions in a number of regions when the enemy will really be forced from and will be defeated in different directions , especially high-precision weapons from 70 to 250 km, which can be used already in the coming weeks and months, this will give a new perspective, this will be a new the stage of ukraine's activity here, the only thing that needs to be shown is this

political will, effective operational wisdom, especially the tact, the heart and talent of the general staff and, accordingly, the special operations forces of the special services that have a special unit, this is necessary for a complex with ee not we are only talking about the main defense, maneuverable defense as a local outfit, but the preparation of those operations that will ensure effective offensive actions and uh, tactical level from the strategic level, but this is subject to competitive preparation today, it is clear that it must be encrypted deeply, but it will be strained. it is already on the agenda. it is time to prepare to act today the weapon is on the way and another factor that will start these great victories of ours, mr. generals, i wanted to ask you what you think about the assessment of the situation by nato secretary general jens stoltenberg because he says that the conflict in ukraine can last a

long time and notes that even last fall the alliance shared intelligence . of a long war, stoltenberg said in an interview with the spanish publication abc well , it is clear that in this situation an absolutely logical question arises. putin has been preparing for war for the past 20 years. it is clear that he does not want to he wants to destroy us, he wants to destroy our country. he is destroying our infrastructure, although the same lavrovo spoke yesterday in an interview about the fact that they say that we are not advancing very much because of the fact that we are trying not to hit the civilian infrastructure , it is worth mentioning chernihiv and kharkiv and mariupol and volnovakha and many, many other small and large towns and villages that were completely destroyed by the russians, this protracted war, protracted marathon, which

stolbek predicts, what it means for russia, what it means for ukraine, one scheme at a time stoltenberg's program, because he gives his visions. we must prepare comprehensively for a protracted war, but the most important thing is to prepare accordingly in the coming months, er, system operations so that this war does not drag on, because it is extremely difficult for the citizens of ukraine as well - we sacrifice this for the military for our respectively, citizens of the civilian population, as we say and it is clear that these models must be ready and the economy and the financial sphere, and especially in international operations in order to support ukraine in any scenario and dear terms of the war, but today the agenda is that we have accordingly and resources mobilized a motivated army, we have already told the president that 700,000 security forces who are fighting at the front do not say that they are there somewhere in the dust, but at the front

he said specifically. i say that more because the mobilization is being prepared training on the latest weapons is underway and it is clear that this force is ours, motivated, strong, prepared, now trained, some time is passing, the last test must use all resources in order to release the territory of ukraine, there are chances in russia , we can see that human resources are running out. they are using all the forces there, so to speak, not only graduates of military schools, but even those who are already in the territory of crimea , for example, those controlled in donetsk in the luhansk region, some secret reservists who are unmotivated are already protesting the end of literally two or three days at the beginning of june and august, says that the situation is extremely difficult here, just using our opportunities, resources, it is necessary to prepare effectively, not a protracted war, and predict that it should be protracted, as it should be predicted in a year and a half, that the

enemy may attack, prepare and the direction of the isthmus and e-e in denmark, respectively, and e-e in the direction of belarus, and we should not more like panic. we shouldn't react aggressively, so to speak, but feed even if i don't believe that there will be a war - this is the sacred duty of the armed forces of ukraine, according to the entire power block of the special intelligence services and the political leadership. that today should act on prejudice, that is why i not only support the position of your bank for the fact that we will really be with him for a long time, this is the format that is extremely difficult for us, exhausting for us, for europe and for other countries that support us so that there are not those who we say today, the concentration of powerful forces in ukraine is ours, according to our positions with partners, especially the newest weapons, which are an

order of magnitude higher than the russian ones, not the 62, which i still remember straight away, it was older, but already the newest weapons, equipment and strategic missile complexes and anti-aircraft defense, radio engineering forces that devalue the enemy's love and guidance systems, and of course, against the anti-cork aviation system, which will be delivered today . where, somehow, sectorally, in some individual cases, this is an imbalance of forces and opportunities, but just starting the operation means multi-channel action, especially in the direction of the main strikes in donetsk luhansk and kherson, kharkiv, the direction that negates all the efforts of the enemy, now he is losing position in many directions. let me show you our strength, the coherence and joint actions of our

partners speak of the threat of nuclear tactical strikes. i will once again say here the position of our partners. the question is yes, and the usa will only prepare for the use of nuclear weapons from the slave, the priority of these two countries is unlocked, britain, the usa, which are ready to carry counterattacks and everything is actually the end of russia quickly and putin knows this very well, so it is unlikely that we are involved in such a force to protect only ukraine or to defend itself and the countries of the nuclear club of the state against russia, including china. general, one more question at the very end of our conversation there quite often and commentators in social media networks and, in general, ordinary people talk about the fact that why is russia attacking our facilities from the territory of its state, including thanks to the strategic aviation of missile complexes located on the territory of russia

federation and we can't even hit the same kerch bridge, why don't the ukrainians, according to you , retaliate on the territory of the russian federation? can this cause a new wave of war and raise the stakes in this war on the part of the russian federation ? well, first of all, i see that the political leadership of ukraine has chosen a concert that is defensive in nature, that is, to defend itself on the territory of our state, so that it does not blame the russian federation on the international level, but blame ukraine for not we will introduce some aggressive policy towards the russian federation, although in this situation i say it was justified to strike at the military units moving towards our borders, this is logical because it is a real threat to ukraine, but today the appropriate decision is that we do not carry it out and er, assuming that partner countries of the eu will be ready to provide weapons only in the format

that protects ukraine, but not on the territory of striking on the territory of the russian federation, our american colleagues have already stated this to some extent there, due to the contained situation, the british even provide missile systems and especially ammunition not for 300 km, and there all the places are 100 km, as far as we can see, this is a limited resource in order not to strike at russia, i predict that the world is still ready for the format of negotiations and therefore eh if it is already worked out accordingly, this is the impression that the object on the territory of russia will already be unlocked, and our partners who gave this weapon to russia - it has warned that it will already be a war with the participating countries, and it is clear that this will free up their hands in relation to apparition already large-scale wars from the implementation of the russian federation well, i think that this is a concert on the territory of ukraine to knock out the enemy and, accordingly, raise the question of signing the corresponding agreement but

on the terms of ukraine and on the terms of the principle of international law, but not completely destroying the russian federation yes, she will be weakened yes , she will kill incest under the pretext of sanctions, everything else - this is such a long-term stage that was in the soviet union, the second stage is clear, it is an open war, the deployment of all means of force is not only ukraine, but also western education, first of all , nato and the russian federation. but this is already the threat of nuclear war, this is precisely this factor that deters our partners from providing such weapons and, accordingly, deters us from striking russian territory, mr. generals, we will put an end to our conversation, thank you thank you for the conversation. it was mykola malamush, army general, the former head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine. don't forget, friends, to like this video and subscribe to our social networks. like on youtube if you are now watching us on youtube and on facebook and you now see links
