now, including, we had them. i am convinced that if we had started to make it from the 14th, then we would have had both a ship version and a land version, which is very important now, uh, 2 years of uh, zelensky, the first uh , of president zelensky, this there were also certain ones. i would say unused opportunities, the reason, the reason . it’s hard for me to understand, but here there is a difference with petro poroshenko, if poroshenko did not rearm the country. but he was such an expert, he was actually the most prepared president of all the ukrainian presidents, and we were i am convinced that a person who knows the business, who has held almost all government positions, that he will fulfill the mission, primarily the mission of strengthening ukraine, but he deliberately, in my opinion, refused

such a mission and actually canceled himself as a politician, as a person who could go down in history as well, really, the person who made ukraine more powerful, as for zelenskyi, that’s a different matter. i think he simply either didn’t have enough time for it, or he passed it on to such people who simply, well, engaged in such inciting battles among themselves and because of this case moved with very, very low efficiency. i remember that at the end of the 19th year, uh, our institute, in which we, together with you, serhiy, belong to the ukrainian institute of security studies and the national institute of strategic studies, we jointly developed a project to create this microtech industry. well, no calling it so unconditionally and also the agency for the development of advanced technologies as

the principle of the american darpa and that the microtech industry was created but it actually does not work because, well , they could not fill it with content was able to fill it with content er and er advanced technology agency still does not exist in russia, there was a very stormy, i would say stormy self-organization of the people, and president zelensky felt this and he actually took the side of the people and led a very practical, wonderful, serious policy, and he is definitely the supreme commander . with uh

took place, so to speak, yes, and now i am doing it properly, properly, er, like an essay again, i like facts, i like a variety of such pictures , er, i am er, myself from patience, and i want to tell the situation that happened in the first days, er, imagine a picture when people who uh, well, should uh, for example, at the beginning of hostilities, come to their units there, from the marines, from special forces there, and so on, but how did he find himself here in irpin? imagine the situation that the armed forces of ukraine have already left behind the irpin river and engaged in the defense of kyiv directly, and 56 people, 56 people who, uh, were not in the teroborona, this was before the teroborona, this was a spontaneous association in which

there were only hunting weapons, even they seized weapons and they held irpin and did not surrender it, irpin , are you somewhere they held irpen, and if at the beginning there were 56 of them, then there were already more than 200 of them, and what this shows, this shows , among other things, that the terroboron that we wanted, that we built in heads, when we developed all these ideas, they did not happen were created, were not developed, even the draft of the law that was proposed, i believe that the draft of the law that general kryvonos' group was developing , it was so correct and powerful enough well , there were many shortcomings of the law on national resistance, but it was still made, but even at first in the 22nd year, they did not

begin to integrate it, they did not implement it in such a way as to prepare the defense forces, although it would be possible to mobilize them, i understand, that is, in fact, we are talking about what really tells you because of the political features there, we are again were not 100% ready, but explain some issues from the point of view of the statements of individual or our heads of state, in particular the secretary of the national security council, that we knew that the war would be relatively speaking in a year, but we did not want to sow panic among the population, we did not want to transport the businessman because that it is impossible, then this nuance from the point of view of a high-ranking official who understands the risks and the adopted strategy in response to these risks , are there any nuances here that raise questions. to be honest, well, it would be correct if these were statements such as were made by the secretary of the national security council and by the president of ukraine himself, by the

ministers there, and these would be valid statements if , so to speak, behind the scenes, rapid actions were taking place in several directions in particular, we then shouted about the need to mobilize work with the population and that part of the people who had combat experience, this did not happen, we also said then about the need to activate these various programs, but we can remember together that for a long time well, they could, but they didn't accept it in service the same alder m, which has a range of 110 km, and in fact it well, to some extent, it is the worst than this m-270 system, which the fighter johnson is now asking for permission from the united states to transfer such russian weapons to ukraine, that is, ours

were not worse, and even the arab emirates ordered them despite the fact that they were not adopted for service, as an example, another example, let's say we could, we have already achieved the ukrainian defense industry was capable of making helicopters with guided weapons, but this 524r complex was not adopted and the state did nothing, as examples, there were a lot of them, let's say ukraine, er, in ukraine, several companies develop killer drones, er, if they were supported in time, the state supported them. so today we have these barrage ammunition, we would have several hundred of them. and they are no worse than the american switch blades are worse on them, they can also hit at 30-40 km, and some of them can also hit targets vertically, and these are much better characteristics than the russian

lancet, which they developed and advertised in russia but they turned out to be unable to produce due to sanctions, a lack of components, that's why a lot of things were not done, and because of this, these statements cannot be statements of officials, top officials cannot be considered valid, and those that should be punched , that is, according to the statements, there was nothing and uh here, well, the only thing that is very important happened uh, which even allowed us, uh, many experts, including many, by the way, you see, even the famous american expert shvets, who dealt with these issues, was wrong, not only we believed that uh, - there will not be a large-scale invasion because our calculation was based on common sense that our

partners, the united states and great britain, managed to saturate ukraine with such a large number of defense resources and weapons that we were sure that putin would not dare to run into the use of these mosquito strategies what happened during the first stage of the war, this is active mobile defense and the use of mosquito strategies, that is, the mass use of modern compact high-precision systems for defeating even a small range, it allowed to actually bring to the point that putin's horde eh well, she herself admitted that the

first stage was lost well , our politicians, our officials began to ask for more powerful artillery weapons again, we felt e that we are dependent on e western partners from the favor or disfavor of some countries eh and eh and again now this track stage actually can be said that 100 days of war brings us closer to of the third stage of the most important and the battle for donbas today, as in the first days of the war, can be called the battle for ukraine e and e e here i would like to pay attention to or in it seems that it was on may 31 there was a statement by the most important american general, this is the head of of the joint

chiefs of staff, general mark milley, who said a very wonderful thing. he said that uh, hmm , the next few weeks, the next few weeks, there will either be a transition to positional warfare or one side will win for sure, the word sure here is very important and at the same time, mark later added and this is even more important, he said. but according to my logic, he said it would be better to end everything with negotiations , that is, there is a battle for ukraine, and in this battle the united states is occupying and great britain is occupying its own position, well, the power is the power in the united states and great britain is taking a position to destroy putin's regime, and it is clear why this is so, because the same mark milley said sometime in april at

one of the meetings that the united states should focus on china's main rival to contain china, because by the 27th year, china can seize taiwan and by the 35th, equal the potential of the united states in defense military potential, but mark milley, he said it, apparently, and correctly. well, not as if he said everything true from the point of view of the interests of the united states, but the question is that by destroying putin's regime, washington actually weakens beijing's capabilities and, in fact, by the hands of ukrainians, a huge business of reformatting the world and destroying putin's regime can take place

russia's disarmament maybe even nuclear weapons and if russia's nuclear weapons happen, then in fact there will be a strategic deterrence of china , and they want to do it all with the hands of ukrainians, but when markle miley made a speech about the fact that everything can logically happen through negotiations, that means only one thing is that the chief military officer of the united states had doubts and he has doubts about the undisputed victory of ukraine and he thought that it is probably better to cede part of ukraine than, let's say, to bring the situation to worse results, but i'm afraid that you are doing extremely let's say this is such an alarming message because she says that this discussion is not going on at the level of mak smiley, it is going on directly with european

countries that want to do business with russia, which they used, that is, the usual procedures that ensure the growth of e- the economic interests of certain groups in europe, when we talk about the americans, i think that they really have a tougher approach to the russians should not pose a threat to europe should not pose a threat to of the world and be a country that is able to act in a civilized manner with e-e in accordance with the orders that exist in the world. putin violated everything that could be violated . it is simply necessary, this is actually the challenge facing everyone today, but from the point of view of what your conclusion is based on, that willy, the head of the united or the united states, doubted the capabilities of ukraine, because from the point of view of the statements and price and mili - i have such conclusions well, it can be better no no

no no no it is not followed up i do not want my analysis of milli's speech to be perceived as some kind of ukrainian weakness the fact is that ukraine has proven its military capability and military ability in fact not only to deter but also to beat the russians beat that an army that was considered the second army in the world until now, which actually turned out to be weak - weaker than the ukrainian armed forces, but the matter is completely different, as i already said, there are several aspects here, the first aspect is the dependence of ukraine on the armed forces of ukraine from quick operational deliveries. we remember how it happened due to the fluctuation of the issue of the transfer of aircraft in ukraine, now biden compromises again, he gives us systems of

chimers restrictions er so that we can use them at ranges of roughly 65-70 km as salvo fire systems. i understand that er. in this way, biden reserves the right to transfer to us er iraq and operational tactical missiles that could operate at a range of 300 km, but this is the same process we see that in just a few weeks we can get and this process is the life of ukrainian soldiers and this is a very big problem. i think it would be better if the ukrainians were a russian airfield with a flight landing strip and other infrastructure facilities on territory of russia than for many ukrainian soldiers to die, and this logic

, including the americans, definitely makes the situation so precarious. the second point, which is equally important, is that in this war, ukraine can press putin's regime only under the conditions if the event will be consolidated by sanctions and here we see that er and er biden's speech er during the visit to lockheed martin iii appears in may er when er he made a speech there and said that it is necessary to do er, russia is technologically limited and we cannot allow components to get there, but er, we see that the united states is sincere here, but we just see the insincerity of european partners here. we remember that for almost the second time

, sanctions were imposed on diamond miners, and it turned out that within 14 -th - 21st years almazantei received components through er civilian enterprises er your company defense express was the first to publish er the story about how the ukrainian defenders began to detect thermal imagers in russian french tanks, which means that france also played such a game and supplied some things but that's why there are certainly quite a lot of such stories, and without control over sanctions, i see that even turkey is playing games today. why is it that lithuania is buying unmanned drones today in order to transfer them to ukraine, not for so that i ask myself and everyone this is not happening so that turkey can say no , it does not sell anything in ukraine, it does not supply anything

eh this is lithuania here, well that is through third hands eh and eh this is eh shows that the anti-putin coalition still exists formally and only its leaders are the united states and great britain, as well as several countries of central eastern europe, such as poland, the czech republic, and slovakia. well , the baltic countries act on time and well , they act critically, and let's say germany is certain balances to a certain extent and france also balances, that's exactly what i'm saying about it, that i understood your approach and your conclusion, you repeatedly said that we count on foreign aid. precisely because our own capabilities are very limited , the question arises whether there is any room at all for the

ukrainian defense industry in the current situation of lend-lease mass supply of foreign weapons, is there a niche where our defense industry can develop and exist at all, this is a very timely and important question. i am convinced that uh, ukraine should develop its industry in parallel, especially since uh, there are opportunities for uh , such quick, operational investment of resources and uh, even those things, those weapons that are not accepted for service in the armed forces of ukraine. well, i mentioned the srs from alder m, for example, or let's say the same complex of guided weapons of helicopters or eh in 524 r or let's say eh combat eh works that are already underway let's say eh run-in by war let's

say so or even less important - these are killer drones it should now be running in very rapid production, as well as our own disarmament of the anti-aircraft missile system, what should happen because back in 2016, by the way, it is telling that in 2016 , an avant-garde project for three anti-aircraft missile systems was protected, but during the term of office petro poroshenko did not decide that ukraine should start developing such systems. if it had happened, we would have already had our own systems with a range of 30-40 km. actually, such systems are similar to sams. it seems to me that ukrainian thugs would not worse than americano norwegian

a complex that we asked for, by the way, and which we never waited for, as well as airplanes. therefore, it is extremely important for us to get rid of this critical quality, and we must rearm ukraine in such a way that, first of all, ukraine does the things that ukraine can do almost without partners. and this is just missile systems. ukraine has its own missile program approved last fall, and i would, for example , focus on increasing the range of the neptune missile system on the creation of a ground-based version of the neptune missile system on that is, to have a cruise missile with a range of 500 km, to have an operational-tactical missile complex with a range of about 500 km, as well as several other things,

to definitely make our own anti-aircraft missile system, that is, all this must be done and must be done today and now don't wait because the war will last long enough and when we said there we were determining how long it could last, our center from somewhere around april said that we made a statement that from 6 to 12 months, and today when we see the pace e equipment of ukraine ie the pace of providing ukraine with powerful weapons, when we said that maybe six months ago, then we thought that they would provide us with powerful missiles, including nsm, for example, for its strike missiles, which are capable of hitting any ship at a distance of 185 km. because the neptunes in it turned out that we were not enough, we did not

have time to make them in time and in sufficient quantity , just as there were not enough of other missile systems , that is, to increase the production of what we have and to increase the development of what is already on the way, we can get to have in the future, this is my position this is a very interesting approach, but who should be the political or military scientific motive for these projects to be implemented, because the impression is that these expert words remain in the air without real implementation, who should be the locomotive, of course, president zelensky, the supreme commander, because with his name will be associated with either the creation of a powerful missile missile defense, the creation of a powerful missile shield, or not the creation, yes, with poroshenko. unfortunately , it is not connected with the creation of a defense proper of the defense potential of zelenskyi can be

connected with the creation of the newest powerful and equipped ukraine for this he must personally control and personally see every day what has been done in the missile program, how it moves, for this it could be created and an additional, conventionally speaking, military-technical commission where he would be the chairman, and let's say his deputies would be the commander-in-chief of the e-e armed forces e and, let's say, a person who would be designated as the main one in the field of defense industry of the complex and technologies eh at first i thought that such a person should be in the ministry of technology, but for some reason the government has so completely zeroed out the potential of eh, that today i doubt it. well, i

still don't know, but it's definitely not ukroboronprom, because ukroboronprom is only part of the defense industry , and no, not the largest. this is about a third of the entire defense complex, and maybe a quarter only . i hope that in fact your conclusions will be heard. and if not, then due to expert influence , we provide changes that are directly needed by the ukrainian army and ukrainian society in order to hope not only for foreign weapons, but also for our own opportunities. of the army research center for conversion and disarmament and the writer and their military expert, my name is serhiy zgurets, we will wait for the next releases of our program with an overview of the best trends related to the development of the ukrainian army, the ukrainian defense industry, on april 4,

unconquered cities of ukraine, this is a cozy and comfortable kharkiv, a city of students of science and industry, a city that has repeatedly suffered tatar attacks passed both into the hands of the bolshevik invaders and into the hands of the german fascists, but kharkiv held out
