with certain conditions there, we will say, most likely, somewhat more rigid than those proposed for ukraine, asia, there. well, i understand, they said to wait, although we remember how literally a few days ago, georgian officials and the prime minister were there in particular, they tried in every way to publicly convince georgia that it is she who deserves to be granted this candidate status. well, you see, it didn’t happen as they thought, that is, there is a certain hmmm, let’s say diversification between decisions regarding specific states, well, definitely ukraine is the leader in this group do you remember that there was already a trio of european integration troitsi what was it called georgia was built before the war and of

course we planned to go together to the european social situation ukraine became the unconditional leader of this trio together with moldova well i i think here, it seems to me that the fact that moldova was put on this road today to a certain extent also contributed to the decision in favor of ukraine , that is, you know, in the european union they like to accept so not individually. and in some groups these there, with a small number of states, the same ones i already mentioned in the western balkans, now it’s a trio and now we have a duo ukraine, come on, and it seems to me for a reason that the president of romania came to ukraine together with the great leaders of old europe,

but on the eve of this decision, no we understand how much romania, so to speak, is patronizing moldova's course towards the european union . i can see for myself that it's a crime, what do you mean, mr. taras? well, what is the situation in donetsk region, what is the situation there in general in the east of ukraine, how strong is the ukrainian army, the situation is quite difficult because yesterday it went on the attack with an attempt to cut the key route that connects

campaigns with lysychansk and we were just in our unit, which is located near er lysychansk, there is constant shelling, it uses the main artillery that comes under lend-lease, and we see the consequences of using this equipment, positions are destroyed, including the artillery calculations of the enemy, the volley discussion system, and the enemy was forced to switch from the offensive to the opposition struggle, but unfortunately, of course, such a struggle leads to casualties among the civilian population and among the military personnel ukraine because its enemy has a lot of old weapons, but it is practically not limited and bc or a set of e-e, unlike us here in let's say so according to the statistics provided by american analysts, yes for every 10 shots of the russian army, we can answer only one. well, this means, mr. taras, that the dreams of the

majority of ukrainians, at least mainly ukrainians , about a possible counteroffensive. there in the area of ​​the donetsk luhansk regions, these are futile hopes, because with such a ratio, which you just said about the counteroffensive, it is difficult to e- to dream oh-oh-oh i think that only the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine knows the answer to that, he commanded the armed forces, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, valery zaluzhnyi, and only they know the answer, when hey, the ukrainian army will liberate our territory, our national points in the east, now the armed forces of ukraine are firmly gaining their positions, including the city of severodonetsk, which, according to putin's plans, was supposed to fall by june 1, continues to defend itself today, i will remind you already on june 17. that is, we will exceed our comrades

are overachieving plans and disrupting putin's plans accordingly, so i see that there is every chance that putin's plan to capture the entire donetsk and luhansk regions will also be thwarted, let me remind luhansk region, they are we planned to buy it ourselves and again, uh, until the first day. it’s him. it’s not possible. and the donetsk region must be covered several times before july 1, and i can already say for sure that this will definitely not happen anymore. uh, well, i can’t there is a lot to comment on, but you have to say that it is enough and we have a frantic defense today and the reserves are fresh, we have our orders, so there is someone to meet the enemy and the enemy, even if he advances, he will advance with terrible losses for himself, with huge losses and human losses and technicians, we can have one last question, mr. taras, and do you feel the new western weapons? that is, they

are already there somewhere and their presence is felt. look, if we are talking about modern weapons, of course it is hidden because the russians are hunting for similar weapons, they can say what they are, and today there are also calculations e-e 155th outback m-77 so-called m three axes and they are also used in the south- eastern direction it can be authoritatively stated that it is already used and e-e the french system e-e caesar with an extremely large accuracy that is capable of striking objects at a distance of up to 40 km, it is all present taken from drones, artillery

calculations and manpower are also destroyed, the er-e rap system is destroyed, that is, the sp is destroyed, that is, observation points, and we see interception on the radio if the enemy is very afraid of what is happening, and they have a panicky mood, and that is why it uses only artillery only aviation and when it comes to already membranes, let's say approaches to us, here they have mass rejections. yes, and one more important aspect will be interesting to you, here i talked with our soldiers who had direct fire contacts with the enemy and they repeatedly assert that the army of the russian federation and the so-called people's republics actively uses narcotics substances, they confirmed this, i specifically asked , including on the record, that uh, these enemy servicemen are so pumped with drugs and psychotropic substances, including when they are captured. they are in

in a state of narcotic intoxication. this is obviously the only and essentially the final argument as to how they force them to go like this. i'm sorry. this will be. maybe now is the last question regarding the civilians at the nitrogen plant. what is their fate? can i comment on this matter to the military civil administration, as far as i can see, the evacuation from north donetsk is currently impossible simply because well, i have to say what we saw, what we felt comrades for several hours and continuously , in fact, did not look for shelling, and they will come very definitely, you should not underestimate the enemy, the enemy is very insidious, uses a lot of drones of russian and foreign production, and they strike at what i say

now, our intelligence even on individual servicemen, in other words, they see one serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine and attack him with mortars. tanks and artillery do not spare, that is, they have so many weapons, so many shells that they can to inflict even on a single military serviceman. and if they see a group using two or three there, you can not even doubt that even a rocket bomb attack can be launched there , and their main goal is, well, relatively speaking, nightmares for the servicemen of the armed forces to they were constantly expecting an attack. but there are so many of our soldiers that we never once heard someone announce that someone is afraid of something, that something is happening. this happens periodically. advanced positions and the enemy knows it, that's why they don't go, they don't attack, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, taras berezovets, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a political scientist

, a journalist, we were in touch. said this beautiful letter - this is a decision of a sovereign country which is based on the right to defend its security, all the tasks of a special military operation will be solved, representatives of big business must connect their future the future of their children with russia, by the way, they clearly said that there will be no improvement there yes yes yes yes yes yes at home is better and more reliable well, all crises in the economy are in no way connected with a special military operation no there is no putin inflation this is just a general crisis of the european american yeah, well, i like it, i'm always a little

nervous, i think he's going to duck something, and this time he 's not the only one, well, that is, what are we talking about ? lost the war i don't argue, okay, with the presidents of russia, no one is arguing with the military, that's all, that's all. express is on the line. greetings, valery. let 's start with weapons. congratulations, because there was rammstein 3 , we have many questions about the fact that we do not have enough weapons in donbas how much do you think ? now we can hope that this imbalance will be evened out. well, rammstein three showed, first of all

, the transition from the systematic increase of countries that join in supporting ukraine, but we did not see any drastic increase there. weapons, although in turn, it was stated in the next round that everything that was invited by the military command of ukraine is currently being received, and 90% of the invited weapons have been transferred there for certain types of weapons, in addition to that, as they stated uh, the military of the united states uh, at the press conference that followed the meeting, they said that in some positions they satisfied uh, the request of the ukrainian military for 120-130%, they gave more than they asked for, so in

principle, uh, we will wait we will wait, but as i understood from those statements that uh-uh were made public, according to the results of this event, the bet will be made not on the quantity, but on the quality of those weapons that will be transferred to ukraine, and precisely on the technological advantages of western-style weapons over those weapons that you say that americans, europeans, rammstein in rammstein, as they say, somewhere around 120, somewhere around 190% of ukraine's needs and ukraine's requests, and ukrainian military experts often say, on the contrary, that they don't add a little, we don't feel that we need more, we need more and more and more.

where is the truth? after all, the counteroffensive is going on then, because everyone said that now the weapons will arrive from russia. so we will all go to the counteroffensive. we haven't seen anything yet. well, it is explained very simply, because the statements about the number of weapons we have came from the mouths of those people which in principle are not responsible for this, and people could have been conditioned by some political things, perhaps by creating an information fund on the eve of the rammstein event, so maybe some other goals were set well, at the same time it is necessary to say that just the secretary of defense of the united states said that i am in direct communication with the secretary of defense at the same time as the chief

of the joint staff committee milli said that all the requests that are submitted there are directly from it is provided, and well, this is the side of this event. and secondly, well, let's be honest, in the information field, it is not very appropriate to announce all this live on the air . demetrically opposite information, it can also be a part of, well , hiding, let's say, the truth regarding your question about the counteroffensive, of course, we all expect and want it to be like that. of course, not everything can happen as quickly as we would like

, because, for example, in the process of transferring those weapons, it’s not even the logistics of these weapons, there are varieties of the united states or from other countries that stand in the way ahead, and it’s precisely the level of readiness of the ukrainian military to effectively use these weapons on the battlefield, that’s why now it is said about the fact that the first task is the training of our military that will use this system, it should be noted that these are the newest systems for us and have never been used and even in these conditions the ukrainian military shows certain miracles mastering this technique, for example , mastering the same simple barrel

artillery systems, three axes or 777, as they are called according to the standard program of the american army, takes up to 70 days, and our guys mastered it in weeks, and we must also add that this technique we we consider it as just a system that shoots, but we must take into account that it is, let’s say, one of the elements of the strike-reconnaissance complexes that can make up these systems, and together with giving us the opportunity to use them precisely in the modern implementation of how they should be used with the operational exchange of online intelligence information will give a powerful result and i hope that the cycle of training that is now being completed by the ukrainian

military will soon allow apply more actively and, most importantly, more effectively apply the weapons received from partners on the battlefield and if, accordingly, it creates the conditions for offensive actions of the ukrainian troops, it is nice that you just took me off my tongue, because i just wanted to ask the next question in this way how do you have finished your answer so now we already know everything now about the north how do you imagine the possibility of an attack from the side of the belarusian army or through belarus by the russian army how likely is it because many about it says and to say that there are some facts that confirm such and such a possibility of such facts, i don't often find what you say. well, really

, after the shameful retreat of the occupiers from this direction, the transfer of the main forces and funds in other directions to achieve the goal of the battle for donbas, which is currently ongoing , the military of the occupier. er, the military means to be calm in the northern direction, this is clear from the military point of view, because the constant maintenance of tension in this direction does not allow to remove those units and units that perform combat tasks in this direction.

in preparation for a possible repulse of the attack , it should be noted that neither the general staff nor the intelligence agencies of ukraine there was some information about the fact that strike groups are currently being created in this direction and that what is currently happening in belarus is mobilization training for this. of course, there are those who cannot help but disturb the ukrainian the military leadership and they cannot be ignored, however, there are conditions in order to talk about the fact that there will be some kind of offensive in these directions, so far there is none, because, in principle, from a military point of view, this direction is quite difficult, especially from

the territory belarusians, if we do not mention the route that was already used by the russian aggressor, then in principle, it is a swampy, forested area. well, crossing the border is possible only at certain points, which i hope are effectively covered ukrainian subdivisions, but it should be noted that there are statements from the military and political leadership of belarus, in particular, from the same self-proclaimed president of belarus lukashenka about the fact that there are various aggressive such statements. however, i would consider them more as a certain game in the style of the same lukashenka, who, in

principle, wants to go between the fulfillment of those alliance obligations that he has to putin and between, as it were, following this that is why rhetoric should not accidentally attack ukraine in principle, as the ukrainian military claims, the situation here is under control, and let's hope that there won't be a real strike here, but in principle, you always have to monitor the situation and be ready for a quick response to a change in the situation, mr. valery, i have a hypothetical question, you can ask he gave a completely hepatic answer, everyone is absolutely convinced here that there is a common opinion that it is not worth actively crossing the russian border even in the event of a counterattack. and if you were asked by the president or the commander-in-chief of your

advice and should we cross the belarusian border in such a case, or should the ukrainian army, in case of any danger, counterattack in the northern direction and move to the belarusian territory, so that you would say if you were asked for advice, well, my advice may not coincide there with opinion let's say this, well, from a military point of view, everything works out logically if you have a threat, this one must neutralize it in any case. there for the scumbag and so on we we all the same, we will strike there and so on, or he cannot say why it is possible, because at this moment it has

occurred to him, well, they are watching. you know, the frustration is such because moser is standing now. precisely because ukraine does not buy, it has already struck at the lake without buying belarusian fuel , so maybe somewhere there it grew in the head of the dictator and of course it had to be done and it is necessary to say perhaps preventive strikes, but we saw the situation when, in february and march, when there were real engagements and the military infrastructure of the belarusian army despite the fact that the belarusian army did not take part in these actions, but uh, this is conditional because it is not uh, soldiers went to ukrainian territory , but all the military infrastructure is there, uh, airports , storage bases there, fuel depots, and so on , they were used and ukraine could use the available opportunities in order to hit

the territory of belarus with missiles by detecting, let's say , precisely or in the positional areas of the same missiles of the same caliber that were fired from the territory of belarus , but we saw that this did not happen and of course here some other factors are included, which are far from the military, etc. unfortunately, in such conditions, it is now impossible to advise someone without having a complete picture, eh, in conditions when we are still fighting the wrong war, which was the second world war, when it was clear who the enemy was who doesn't, but when there is a hybrid war, when there are many factors, there are many houses where it is discussed, and that's why i think that it is precisely taking into account these factors, and the military and political leadership of ukraine, then a decision was made not to

strike when a military threat appeared. well, here here i am, to be honest, i don’t have this one. thank you. thank you for being with us and explaining a little about me . by the way, questions for vitaly portnikov were piling up. and what do you think? well , did it suddenly end? the russian federation played the war. and many people say that it is due to contributions because of reparations and so on, and belarusians must speak the same language. fully responsible people can be here and have not fought, but when a bomb is thrown at me, the territory is a bridgehead and i citizens of belarus did not support it did not support it citizens of russia supported it but the

question is not about the responsibility of the state for a specific citizen and when the state responds, when the regime responds, it prompts of citizens to fight against such a regime is true, well, in some countries, it encourages some not so well, in any case, it is absolutely obvious that this state and the republic of belarus is an occupying state in relation to of the belarusian people themselves, this is also true, but she is responsible for the fact that she participated in the attack on ukraine, what is there to argue about? i don't even think there is anything to argue about, and there are sanctions against russia, sanctions against belarus, where they should be made tougher if lukashenko wants there less sanctions should drive out russian soldiers it may or may not it is his problem these are not my problems not yours they invited lukashenka's problems this is a one-way ticket to belarus yes and they will not leave the belarusians anymore, i hope that as they weaken putin's russia will glorify the lukashenko regime and i hope that the lukashenko e regime will collapse, that lukashenko will go to a belarusian

prison, they are sincerely waiting for him there, that is, you think that the belarusians themselves will put him in prison, not some nasty ones. i think that belarus is happy to see that he is imprisoned there for life there, by the way, bisons have a death card. you know, i’m in the dpr, and it’s very dangerous for this place. i canceled them. until it’s too late, yes, there will be problems, the difference between the dpr. by the way, i’m not justifying the lpr, the dpr, but the difference is what is it, the death penalty is carried out in belarus, and in the lpr, the dnr is not carried out yet. well, there has not been a single case yet, and there are many cases in belarus. so, this is a terrible story when, according to what i read, unproven crimes are punishable by death, so it is not known whether this person is guilty in principle of the metro , so it is absolutely clear that nothing has been proven. and now anzhelika sezonenko will tell us all, and you

first of all, what happened during this hour in ukraine and in the world. fierce battles continue, the enemy is trying to capture the city, but ours fight back and not only for a moment
