to say that at such and such a time there will be one or another political leader of the world. the european commission has not yet adopted any decisions regarding granting ukraine the status of a candidate for accession to the european union . i apologize and now i will quote him. i read in the press that the commission had already decided, but this is completely false. the commission did not decide anything yesterday, but the truth is that many people began to write. what are some sources? the decision has already been made. what about you ? forecasts that their decision has been adopted or it will be adopted regarding the submission of the application to us, i do not have information that it is closed, you do not have an

ska , let's live. alternative photomat i think that coordination will continue, because even in recent times, the european union works in such a way that often some key decisions are made with whom, say, the sixth package of sanctions is adopted literally the night before during the meeting, i think that this case may not be an exception. when they will agree among themselves on some such decision that would not be offensive to ukraine and, nevertheless, would not give us too many such promises that the european union could later unable to fulfill mr. volodymyr, i also wanted to ask you about pope francis, he communicated with the directors of ten european magazines, the society of jesus has such an interview, although it came out. he gave it last month, but it was completely the stamp that i already mentioned came out in italian. this is tuesday, that is, today is

wednesday, that is, yesterday. and what did he say there? well, he said that the use of mercenaries in russia, including chechens and syrians, is a wonderful, wonderful thing. translates from russian, he said that the war maybe it was provoked or not suitable, but here and here is what the pope said that he hopes to meet with the patriarch of the russian orthodox church kirill in september in kazakhstan , at first it was assumed that the spiritual leaders could to meet on june 14 is viral, but vatican diplomats decided that such a meeting in a similar situation would be too controversial. well, he said. i also have to add that we relate to what is happening in ukraine because it is closer to us and it affects us more, but there is also other distant

countries, let's remember some areas of africa in the north of nigeria, in the north of the congo, where the war is still going on and everyone didn't care, the pope said, let's remember the rand 25 years ago . is it possible to compare ukraine, ukraine inside and in the center of europe, with all due respect to snakes or roland , yes, nigeria and the north and the north of the congo, well, for the pope, probably it is also his flock there, but globally and how is it possible in this situation to meet with cyril who blesses, well, blesses the russian guard presents her icons in front of the cameras, instead, the pope does not want to come to ukraine, where he has 5 million parishioners, by the way, i am asking you for a word, well, a few moments, first of all, he has long wanted to meet with kirill and now they see a little are postponed, but how will it be further away, i

know when they will actually meet. and this is the kind of economic dialogue that the leaders of their leading branches of the church and christianity conduct among themselves. to say that he won't be here until it ends. and is he an influential figure on the will? on what number does the resolution of our conflict of this war by russia against ukraine depend? no, but he can simply call for peace and we hear all the calls. the last comment, i will say that well, why? well, i think that proverhinja should also be remembered about roland, because we don't remember, and then, as an example, we'll include that let's pay attention to ukraine, yes , people in other parts of the world now. by the way, they say, where are you? it was all in syria, where half a million people died, or even more than six months ago. and why should we now pay attention to

some kind of conflict between russia and ukraine, where we don’t even know where it is? that’s why you see it . everyone has their own prism and your point of view we wish that the world would talk to people somewhere in south africa or south america and they are even in a dozen problems that are embarrassing not to include aggression. unfortunately, this is against ukraine , we all need to understand that the world does not revolve around us and now people are still forgetting about the fourth the place of war is even more about the fact that it continues to fight, the ethnic group that lives in myan, which was oppressed and persecuted, that 's why i mentioned it, that is, now yes, well, look, ukraine is not the first problem for the whole world, but well, russian missiles can reach a little further than ukraine, and in particular, mr. podolyak said this on the eve of the meeting in the so-called

rammstein format. let us remind you that this is a meeting in the format of defense ministers of different countries . times are supposed to meet on the 15th, that is, tomorrow in brussels this very meeting of the contact group of defense ministers on the defense of ukraine, the so-called ramstein 3 and e. podalyak wrote the following, now everyone is stagnant a participant in the rammstein format should close his eyes and imagine a world in which russia has defeated morning rockets to croissants, night sirens to e-e lullabies, the disappearance of cities with a thousand-year history, this world will become a reality if we maintain the current pace of the issue of weapons, we are waiting for a decision by vladimir about the pace and how much the situation can change with the pace of the supply of weapons after the meeting from tomorrow. well, i think that the weapons will arrive. it is clear. but how quickly and exactly what it is is still an open question. it is now a very

difficult moment from the point of view of the western coalition or even a world coalition in support of ukraine or the threat that russia poses to the world, to europe, america, in particular, is tender, you can actually react in two ways: the first is to appease russia to retreat and give pieces of it to ukraine so that it is satisfied, that is, in peacemaking, this is the case, and the second is to take a hard position if we say a month ago, we heard from mr. blinky that our ukraine will win, russia will lose from mr. autumn to the secretary of defense of the united states that the goal of american policy is to weaken such a radical, serious, strategic the weakening of russia, now we don’t hear that, that’s why in europe and with the ocean, the emphasis has changed a little now because of the difficult situation we have on the front in donbas, and now no one is talking about the victory of ukraine or the total defeat of russia there, that’s why they are now reasoning among themselves how to continue to

support ukraine, understanding that such a victory is possible, logically, the total final e-e of russia. well, it is not yet discussed what scenarios can be discussed there. well, for us, this is a closed circle. we cannot win there, a total advance, because no heavy weapons yes, there is no heavy weapons because tomorrow may be the subject of these negotiations at all well, i think that after all new supplies of various types of weapons but what exactly yes will they be the same as we really need how quickly well that's the whole question in this for now, there is still inertia, the positive dynamics of this process. we are being given weapons, more are being given to us, and even we have received in the last weeks or months what at the beginning of the war we did not even dream about what they would give us, but now we need more more, more, more, new, new types of weapons, will there really be such a change now,

pray for the understanding that it is necessary to provide this in ukraine and so that ukraine does not lose this war, we will see , or various discussions there are now western partners happening there now, mr. volodymyr, such a complex question today was the election of the head of the constitutional court, oleksandr tupytsky, let me remind you that not only is he under investigation there, but his term of office has already expired. this is her he was elected there for 9 years even before the court there under er and yanukovych, then under poroshenko, he was the deputy chairman there, then he became the chairman of the presidential office, his mandate ended today, a new one was elected, they were not elected, a special meeting of the court was held, a meeting of the er heads of all the constitutional court, but new elections were not elected chairman and new elections will now be held at one of the following special plenary sessions. publications are underway on the website

of the central committee of the communist party. we have a nabu, which on april 16, the mandate of artem sitnyka also ended, we also have a constitutional court about a headless one and, well, there is no movement in this direction, nevertheless we want to become a full member of the european union, at least to get a candidacy we want the help of the west, we demonstrate that we are european a country that we have european values ​​and we prove it on the battlefield on the battlefield - that's great, but why don't we have full-fledged state institutions that are a sign of every european country and can we hope for candidacy after all this for example, the status of an applicant in the eu, if well, in our country it is not exactly the same as in european countries , and elections and appointments are held and people leave their

positions , including asking. to the european union only because we heroically fight to make the front protected by civilization an outpost of this western, effectively european civilization, we defend democracy and only because of that we deserve to be included in the union's note but in fact, many countries within the european union treat it quite differently, and therefore it is not by chance that it happened that the three countries that, by the way, quite actively support ukraine from the point of view of the war against russia, are the netherlands, sweden and denmark, they are among those who are now not ready to support giving us the status of ukraine as a candidate for the european union or the european union because they say that there are problems with democracy, there are problems with institutions of power and so on. you see this different vision of this process only because we we shed blood and protect europe and democracy

, they say, well, that's good, we support you, but that doesn't give you the right to automatically violate some bureaucratic criteria, and there are some criteria put forward for those countries that are trying. well, that's why i agree with you , now there is such a tendency to turn a blind eye to some of our problems within the country since we are in such a very difficult situation, and in the end, from a strategic perspective, they will still look at what is happening here with the institute and democratic with various branches power, in particular the judicial one, whether it is being reformed or not , in what way under the conditions of war, it is difficult to do it quickly, it is clear yes, but still, many of our western partners will not be able to completely forget about it. well, let me remind you that in general, this story began one and a half years ago with the removal of tupytskyi from the leadership of the aks therefore, one and a half years ago, in december of the year before last, you understand, well, the question and the question

was resolved by itself, the term of office expired next year, tupytsky retires at the age of 60 and will continue to receive until the end of his life a good salary as the ex-chairman of the constitutional court, if he is certainly not imprisoned for this article with which he is accused , the story is over, let's have some more news , thank you for participating in the broadcast, he covered important international issues, yes, uh, next we will have a military expert, ivan stupak, for now, well, we are also in we will ask him about weapons and about those weapons for parity with russia, which we do not have enough for victory, which podolyak wrote about the day before, but so far, the information about that beloved balance has not been verified, because there is no confirmed data yet that in occupied kherson near the building of the regional administration, the official car of the saldo collaborator was blown up. well, it is written differently here

. and he and his bodyguards were in that car at the time of the explosions. they are now being taken by ambulance to the intensive care unit on slava ukrainian partisans, they write, but the news has not been confirmed yet. to be supplemented well, it's not that i like the balance, i just remember him from the days when he was still a people's deputy from the party of the trump regions and he often just came to the broadcasts representing this party, he was always like that. for ukraine, for the people, for the ukrainian language, there are always such ukrainian-speakers, so gentle in kherson, you understand, and here at the first opportunity, a person became an enemy imagineer, that's why i, of course, love him in quotes and wish him to turn into an addition very quickly to this news, information about e and ivan stupak is already with us military expert ivan we congratulate you good day in

the studio i congratulate you mr. ivan about weapons let 's talk here eh for tomorrow this meeting in format rammstein 3 is planned the day before podalyak said that what we lack for parity yes for the end of the war and listed specific weapons in order, look uh, it’s correct that this list was prepared because europeans are americans well, they couldn’t understand how many units we need uh, they probably asked the ukrainians tell us how many do you need and give it to us and we will watch it, we calculated it, we looked it up, we announced these numbers, the numbers are really impressive, they are serious. i think so, not one

billion dollars. this thing is worth this list, it is very serious. i am sure that this is the maximum that we can. that we get, well, much less, because europeans and americans simply do not exist in terms of warehouses, at the moment it needs to be manufactured, put into operation, prepare the production facilities of the enterprise, expand , recruit staff, that is, it will also take some time mr. ivan well, he specifically wrote, i will remind mr. podolyak of what he wrote, i will be straightforward, in order to end the war and throw russia out of ukraine, we need parity of heavy weapons. well, so that the positions are equal and there are a thousand howitzers of such a caliber. and specifically, 500 tanks, 2,000 units of armored vehicles, 1,000 drones and 15 in june, he writes, there will be a meeting of the contact group of defense ministers in brussels. we are waiting for a decision, and you

say that it can't be so fast, so there can be a decision about intentions, for example. the program is launched primarily for the economy of the united states of america, i.e. we need to distribute tasks to everyone, lockheed martin boing, there are other other companies to say yes, we need to develop for the needs of ukraine, i.e. here it is simple. wars in the first century, everyone meant that the war would be a short-term war as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, that is, it would be special forces, it would be strikes by drones, and it would be a cyber war that is, they will put everything from traffic lights to lighting in skyscrapers,

or some corporations. that is, this is the war of the xxi century. russia is showing the war right there. the 20th century is the beginning of the first world war. that is, no one was prepared, and the warehouses simply do not have the weapons that we need it for sure, well, in general yes, i will quote podolyak once again, what he wrote on twitter the day before, yes, 1,000 howitzers, caliber 155 or 300 rcz, rocket salvo systems, they generally physically exist at the current moment in such a quantities in the partner countries or not, let's see. so what exists. and what they are able to give us, you understand, that is, they gave us, they say, 70°. well, maybe there are only 300 or 400 or 500 of them there. they gave only what they could. what they agreed to

, that is, they cannot hand over everything and remain naked people. they ask why when we speak in luhansk there. including donetsk, we are told that the difference in artillery there is 10-20 times that there are 1,500 barrels on that side, that's 1,500 barrels and now try to attack or at least try to defend some territory if you have 70 howitzers and there are 1,500, well, in principle it is not possible then no then not on which break can we count, that is why i am asking you and physically how many do the americans have there, for example howitzers of this caliber 155 or how many systems came to us there, four of these rsvs, yes, there are four of them, and there will be 700 from that side. well, parity, well, that is, it is difficult to count on any success on the battlefield with a similar distribution of forces. it will be incompetent. i honestly can’t answer how many of these shells these arsenals have. i honestly can’t answer this question, but there really isn’t

parity, but it’s achieved, but i can see how the accuracy of hitting powder guns means that the russians count by hectares, they count by hectares , and the europeans by americans they count the number of hit equipment as a result of the actions of their and the mertvirian systems, there are some other weapons , that is, a hit shot a hit shot well, here we talked about all the studios about what is possible and if you ask for more, they will give you more, ask for more. then, even if you get something, it is possible that what the son is talking about is the statement about 500 tanks or 500 tanks . well, are there any on the european continent ? well, yes, that is, look. well, europe, she, well, she did not prepare for such a war. when they began to rake up these warehouses , the military, of course, looked at something there, something was being prepared. the

germans, for example , began to disassemble their military equipment because there were such serious pacifist moods, what a war, what kind of tanks. well, it’s already been a century, we’ll be fighting as special forces there, point strikes , artillery, aviation and drones, it’s fully using its entire arsenal since the century before last, so it’s not all booming, not everything is flying, but it's damn simple, and here in russia, the occupiers began to save modern missiles in ukraine, intelligence reports that they are launching outdated soviet models about the air force of the armed forces of ukraine. in general, they have them there, how many more will they launch this soviet junk, look at the number of these missiles, this is a state

secret of the russian federation, or any kind of equipment and the amount of the nomenclature - this is a state secret, they are protected they are terribly guarded there by the fsb officers now. look how many of these missiles can really take off, there may be a lot of them, we, too, ukraine transferred part of its missiles to the russian federation, there seems to be a different numbering, but we transferred the missiles and look at the russians do not have the chips to learn how to control these missiles , and today lukashenka had a meeting and he announced powerful cooperation with the russians in the direction of manufacturing microcircuit chips for old missiles. i understand that this will be primarily in military cooperation, military cooperation will be, that is, belarus will do for them these chips, i think so, today there was an exhibition where lukashenko was shown, he was there for about an hour and a half looking at these microcircuits, what

local enterprises look like, and said that we , the russians, should work more closely in this direction i understand that the russians have shown extremely great interest in this technology and the belarusians want to offer and sell it, i said, i will show you now and how much does it cost so that we simply understand what kind of missile it is? developed a kha-22 storm or the american abbreviation kichen i.e. kitchen development since the 58th year i.e. the 58th year that is more than 50 years ago 60 years ago this missile was developed and i still know p ivan heard what story why russians launch all missiles from water areas the black sea and the caspian sea, well, first of all, from a bomber, it adds additional speed , given from the ground and from the air. but why from the sea, because there are a

lot of engine failures during launch, almost half of these missiles just fall there, and it is better for them to fall into the sea than into the territory there of the russian federation, that's why the russians launch them precisely from the waters of the sea or there are a lot of failures. it's true, you 've heard something like you, as an option, it can really be. look at all these missiles, all this equipment . i want it. it's 50 years old, it's from the 60s. your tasks provided that there is constant care for this equipment, for this technique, to take care of, to check the lubricants, fluids, there are some gaskets, seals , that is, it is necessary to follow up there, to undergo routine work. launches to prevent from e-e these e-e about the rocket literally at

half past two in the afternoon today there was an air alert from central-western ukraine and in the lviv region four people were injured by an enemy missile debris fell on a brickyard as a result of the shooting down of a rocket above zolochiv, this is lviv oblast, a russian rocket injured four people, the head of the regional administration maksym kozytskyi was informed about this. the debris fell on a brickyard, so far it is known that four of them were injured . unfortunately, one is a child. were launched from the south-eastern direction, let me remind you that during the air alert, the ukrainian air force also shot down missiles in the khmelnytskyi and ternopil regions, the information about the destruction is being clarified. russia just saw a video in the news, the missiles there are definitely not the caliber, that is, definitely not the missiles that were made in the current millennium, there is this iron- green protective protective metal that is on the x-22 , it is probably from the 59th year of the 58th year of development, it is

exactly it's just green, it's big, it's similar, and you know what the big problem with these rockets is, among the fact that they are rockets, they carry a threat, they are directed by our citizens, they are the correctors of fire, they are directed there consciously or unconsciously, but they are directed by someone he simply posts pictures there with some of our equipment, the russians calculate the location. ah, there are people who deliberately point to such objects where ukrainian equipment is being repaired. well , there is, of course, a certain difference in the accuracy of these missiles . of course, they are not as accurate as there are modern american models. there, the chinese ones do not fly in that direction anyway, they hit there, uh, in that quarter , conditionally, and the explosives that are on this

missile it allows you to simply hook everything around and these are precision missiles that the occupiers, according to intelligence data, began to save modern missiles, er, we can somehow roughly estimate what their arsenal of these precision missiles is, because again, there was a story with the manufacture of these chips, that is, there is a shortage of them they can’t replenish this arsenal or they can’t look again this is also a military secret russian how many of these missiles are unknown, but look they can be manufactured ingots they are cast physically but do not have chips the chip is also small, such a detail can be conditionally carried in diplomatic baggage from any country in the world, i am sure that the russian special services, russian intelligence are now looking for uh, i broke my head . where can you buy and use such microcircuits and take them to russia and activate these missiles

, ivano v before the start of the war, there were fires and explosions in almost all warehouses in ukraine for 10 years, this happened with regularity there for six months and a few months, considering the beginning of the full-fledged russian invasion of ukraine or we should not review these criminal cases on explosions and fires at artillery depots, because even a person who has no relation to counter-intelligence intelligence and subversive activities suspects that all these explosions and fires could have been inspired by the aggressor country, which was preparing for this war in advance, i ask a little bit excellently noted, it is really necessary to check and look again that i am sure that in some cases or there no one has been found there, the investigation is ongoing and in some cases a goat has been found he said, he was burning uh near the warehouses, the grass caught fire and everything in the world burned down, all the warehouses

there are guesses of thousands of types of missiles there are ammunition . that is, it must be reviewed again, but it is normal, it is not just a hunt. witch hunting is a work of mistakes in the first place, and according to your forecast, we the weapons of the russians and many of our weapons are for our artillery, not for american artillery, how much time will we have? now i will say yes, and there really aren’t enough charges. we, er, use these cartridges very economically, that is, without needs just like that in this quarter, in this region, we do not shoot, we do not lace projectiles, that is, if there is information about the crossing of, for example, russian troops across the river, we sneak there as much as possible if there is no such information, very carefully ivan thank you for explaining professionally all those rockets, but

now we all have to understand the enemy and know ivan stupak, a military expert, professionally explained to us all the statements and all possible events that can await us tomorrow, the ministers of defense will meet different countries, we expect that there will be some solutions that will help us further news directly on the air espresso angelika sezonko - ready to inform us about everything that happened throughout the hour angelika you have my word there were air alarms in ukraine and indeed russia sent a lot of missiles to ukraine about i will tell you about the consequences of the missile strikes in a moment. 111 days of heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian invaders continues. for your attention. espresso news . anzhelika sezonenko works in the studio. massive missile attack on ukraine
