but we were lucky and my mother and i went to poland . i like poland, but i want to return home. i have water, i have a lot of friends in kindergarten. i really want to go home and soon i will return. i will return. i will return. i will return. i will return. i will return. i will return. i will return. ukraine i will return when we defeat the russians from among them, then we will return to our apartment. i invite all poles to visit, everything will be ukraine. glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program. my name is serhiy rudenko. good day and good health to all. today is the 127th day of heroic ukrainian resistance.

of the people against the russian occupiers, the ukrainian military forced the russians to leave the island of change. this was reported by the head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yermak. azov became, meanwhile, the nato summit continues in madrid and the north atlantic alliance decided to accept sweden and finland into the alliance, and russia recognized russia as enemy number one however, the russians are not retreating, they continue to attack ukrainian positions in the east and south of ukraine, they continue to shell the border regions of sumy oblast, the outskirts of kharkiv and launch airstrikes on lysychansk, at the same time, the occupiers continue to lose

manpower and equipment with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 35,600 people in ukraine, 1,573 tanks, 3,726 of armored combat vehicles 790 artillery systems 246 rocket salvo systems 104 anti-aircraft defenses 217 aircraft 185 helicopters 2602 units of automotive equipment 14 ships, boats, 143 cruise missiles, 641 drones, 61 units of special equipment, about the world that is starting to fight putin, the prospects of ukraine in nato, about the island of snakes . the center of defense strategies is also nice

to see, let's start today's news , the island of change, the ukrainian military reported that they pushed out the russians from snake island the russians say that this is a gesture of goodwill, they say they went with the change because they are implementing the un recommendations on unblocking the path for the transportation of ukrainian grain to the world well, we know what the island of change is, the history of how it was this part from the first part in the great country of romania in 1948, this island was handed over to the soviet union. well, it was very important for the russians to place an anti-aircraft defense system on the island, and it was also a very important strategic point for

russian occupiers in order to control the southwestern borders of ukraine and the southwestern part of ukraine. what do you think is more in russian in the russian retreat , a gesture of goodwill or, after all, the weapons that the ukrainian military began to receive and which began to simply destroy and burn this island from the russians occupiers well, you know, i'm sorry that they left and got out of there, because it was such a black sea chornobayivka, because it is clear that this rock, as it is, rather in the sense of the actual not geographical, not physical yes, and it's easy to capture and it is impossible to hold and definitely it was an easy target for our naval forces and actually i, well here only after the war we will find out how much i am not talking about the lives and forces but the

most important thing is the equipment we destroyed there actually without i’m kidding, on the one hand, on the other hand, i understood why russia didn’t want to. they just gave it to be under control, especially after we sent their moscow cruiser to its known direction, because if they placed and they placed large-scale ppu systems there, they would could to actually control a part of which they correctly said, the clinic of sea communication from our black sea ports to the actual bosphorus and the dardanelles, the most important thing is actually to become such a part of the necessary means in order to carry out a landing operation on our black sea coast, i also want to remind you that not only zmiiny island was important, but the so-called boyka towers were also attacked by our armed forces, because there, from the very beginning of the 14th year, they not only stole ukrainian gas up to 3 billion cubic meters every year, but immediately

the russian special forces and means of radio- electronic monitoring of the situation by air, surface, and submarine have also been deployed. what is this? well, we really don’t like it because, let’s put it this way, it limits the capabilities of our naval forces. that’s why it’s definitely a big important event that took place. when we received er harpoons and it was visible from the distance to which the ships of the black sea route of the russian federation moved, because of course they are afraid to come closer, and of course this is a positive thing, but to hope for voluntarily by the katsaps well, it seems to me that this is simply useless , it is a mockery of common sense, and they voluntarily found out in the same way when they received it , i don’t want to near kiev, uh, sums and chernivtsi gathered from the ukrainian land definitely. what do the russians

remember about their border, about their voluntary then when they receive it in the teeth and actually here they received it e. this is absolutely n- na- is it a clear thing, but it definitely does not open up opportunities for our export of grain will remain until the key security issues for us are resolved e-e the question that we we cannot change our approaches to our black sea cities and ports, first of all. that is why it is absolutely impossible to believe that by and large russia is a weekend. you know this famine. i am saying that it is symbolic that up to 10 million e-e ukrainians were starved during the genocide of the famine of 32-33 years, and in 22-23 years, the famine will definitely increase, and it will be in putin's hands for very simple reasons, if he unblocks it, he will

simply be thanked and that's all. and if it will not unlock it means destabilization in countries middle east, north africa, for example , for the same france, egypt and algeria are extremely important, and they are definitely vulnerable to famine. there will be destabilized regimes , the growth of terrorism is possible, conflicts are possible, and a wave of refugees is definitely possible, much more than after this year from syria, and we remember all this as de-statisticalizing the political, economic and social situation in europe. that is, it is definitely a positive gain for mr. putin, i am not talking about the fact that, unfortunately, the countries of africa and the middle east very often support russian narratives that western sanctions against russia are actually the cause of the food shortage and famine that is looming over their countries. unfortunately, we are losing this information battle, and not only in africa

, but in india itself. that is why i i think that we will not be able to open our ports until this war is over. yes, mr. oleksandr, actually putin is being used in the situation in order to start another hybrid information war against the world and not only informational but also arrange a proper famine and then blackmail the whole world in order for the world to give in and remove sanctions from him, the world has reason. over the past few days, we have seen two large gatherings, this is the meeting of the big seven and the nato summit in madrid, and with the final press conference , the secretary general is due to leave here nato and if this happens, we will definitely include it in our broadcast, and yet literally in a week, the world and its attitude towards putin changed, i'm still wrong.

because there are different interests. for example, lithuania introduced restrictions on sanctioned goods that are supplied to königsberg with russian territory. and what we see now is that germany actually wants to soften this regime in order to annoy putin and actually allow the support of this enclave of russian in the baltic sea in order to support it. that is, it shows a certain such, well, very strange position of germany, then definitely . for example, the role of russia there is very clear and correct, if the ukrainians wrote it too. but in china , french and german influence was visible in order to not even be such a strategic competitor, it is not

necessary to say that it is a threat or an enemy or in some other way, in fact, that the french and germans made a mistake in relation to russia at one time they considered it a partner to the last until february 24, 22, in fact they tried to somehow talk about how we change with the russians unfortunately, now they are actually the same the same approach is being introduced to china, so i wouldn't say that i am the only one with such a holistic perception. and there are countries that understand what modern russia is, the baltics, it's poland, unconditionally. and it's the nordic countries for a reason, and finland decided to change its finnishization a little, yes. you will use this window of opportunity that ukraine has opened for them by and large. and for you to join nato. by the way, this is an extremely important point, and it is very important to us .

proposed finlalization to ukraine, but if he had this finlalization, then we have to agree, he means the strength of the armed forces, a ready and flexible society that can not resist russian aggression, of course, they are preparing first of all for previolization, and then it is the readiness of the political, economic, defense-industrial, and unconditionally armed forces finland to be a member of nato that is, they actually need to change the chevrons and they will already be fully compatible signs and this is our way. it seems to me that the most important thing is the president of finland explained why he believed and made such a decision that joining nato is not because he understands and thinks that russia is going to attack finland. no, he said that the option of nato membership that was always open to us from the very beginning was part of the strategic calculations, and when russia said that she wants to have the right of veto on the expansion of nato, this

actually destroyed these calculations of how finland ensures its security, and therefore they simply saw in this a potential threat, an unrealistic threat of an attack by russia, you know finland is a small country, but it is the most powerful european power from the point of view of artillery. 55 f-16 are there, and in the near future they will buy 64, there will be f-35, these are modern stealth aircraft. in fact, they are multi-purpose, this is a great power, i am not talking about the ability of the 14,000 armed forces there up to 250 , they seem to be reservists, and society's ability to withstand the first few days in order for the state to deploy the protection system and other other things. that is, this is the path that, by and large, ukraine should follow until we are ready, this is not a coin. until france and germany, first of all, change

their position and understand that security in europe is a you know this concept that was formulated by the americans during the cold war, that europe is whole , free and at peace, this concept cannot be implemented until ukraine, belarus , moldova and georgia become members nato well, and the european union, until this awareness of the old europe does not take place, we will have these swings and this soft, softened tone on the desire to preserve bridges with russia or call putin 100 hours of talking even if you have a negative result, but with regard to nato, you already mentioned the strategic concept that was adopted for the next 10 years, before this strategic concept that was adopted yesterday, russia was defined as a strategic partner of the alliance, but now the russians pose the greatest threat to nato -

it is it is clearly stated in this strategic concept what it means for us, for ukraine and for the russians, you understood what it means for nato because it is clearly recorded in the document well, you know this holiday in madrid was definitely a holiday, first of all, finland and sweden and also the baltic states, because the united states, well, in fact, as the largest country, which is by and large nato, and everything else - this is a plus, and they promised not only conceptually, but from the point of view of those forces and means that the united states is going to add to those already located on the territory of europe, and it is very important from a positive point of view that the permanent presence of the american contingent in poland will be increased. this is a small contingent, but it is permanent. presence. it is extremely important because in 1997 russia and nato signed an act of alliance

and then the russia-nato council was created, which, by the way, had more, let's say, a range of cooperation tools than the corresponding council, which is more precisely the ukraine commission on the that is, in principle, russians who did not want to be members had more access to nato. some mistakes that will lead to a confrontation, that is precisely this point about the permanent basing of american troops in poland and increasing their number, this is actually such a small attack on this fundamental act, which, however, nato is not yet going to suspend certain provisions and the driver or even cancel in general it is clear from the account that it is no longer working. the second important

moment that happened literally the day before that was an article in less altayms where the prime minister of estonia expressed, let's say, concern that existing military plans in the event of an invasion they are not satisfied with them because estonia will not have 180 days left in the 180 days provided for in these plans, i want to remind you that in 2016 renn corporation did such a simulation of the situation and they actually gave 48 hours for the capitals of lithuania and estonia to be captured by the armed forces of the russian federation. and this would actually mean that other nato members should also liberate these territories. it's definitely a small story, it just didn't last, it disappeared without a trace,

so it's very good that now the estonians are satisfied with the fact that actually these military plans are being revised and that the concept is somewhat different, not this so-called barbed wire that was supposed to restrain russia, but real and powerful the presence of other, more powerful nato member countries on the territory of the baltic states, they are a guarantee that from the very beginning there will be resistance, not only symbolic, let's say the flag is there, but the real way is extremely important the moment, well, definitely strengthening the black sea, this is primarily romania, there on a rotational basis , they are going to increase the number of military personnel, this is by two destroyers, and the presence is brought to 6 v , so in italy, they are important both for the mediterranean sea and, in fact, for our black sea of the sea, you know that even when the moscow cruiser was still floating on the surface of the black sea, one

american destroyer was able to destroy not only the cruiser of the sea, but in fact all the modern weapons, there are no analogues, as the russians say the crimean peninsula has six destroyers here. this is quite a powerful answer. i am not talking about the two f-35 squadrons in the british isles, plus an unknown number of air defense systems and other modern electronic systems in italy and germany. that is, this shows that it is not only on paper er and open paper that we can read but also in military plans and the most important in the forces and means that are placed on the territory of er nato member countries, especially over the eastern flank, a radical change has taken place and they are positive mediated for nato chose a cautious approach from the very beginning and it does not help us with lethal weapons, it does not want to be so that in russia it is perceived as a

part of this conflict . e against drones, weapons there and others. well, unconditional help in reforming our armed forces, bringing them up to nato standards, and so on. actually, this announced expanded package, a comprehensive package of assistance, is important. but the most important thing is that we definitely receive not within the framework of nato, but from nato members, that is, according to the rammstein process, or on a bilateral er-er basis, that is, in that well, by and large, this summit was not so powerful for us from the point of view of providing us with some serious help. although on the other hand, again, er- the speech of the president of ukraine was quite clear and i would say that he was minimal, on the other hand , he was very correct that we should not be complacent and plan to help ukraine for years to come. this is very good. russia is not going anywhere, but the

most important thing for us is to provide opportunities them to gain a foothold in the occupied territories, and that is why the constant flow of his increase in ukraine's weapons is key, and he made such a call, it is very nice that the secretary general said that ukraine will support as much as it is necessary and is meant in time, by the way, during the meeting of the seven others said that the leaders of this group are, above all, definitely british, that how long this conflict will be, uh, these countries are ready to invest in the security of ukraine, the protection of ukraine, well, understanding that this is their own security, by the way, oleksandr, when we talk about the madrid summit, i remember how in april or march in kyiv they very often repeated that we should articulate our position, we should present our position in a certain way, and volodymyr zelenskyi spoke online at the nato summit and that's it after all,

did ukraine need to take more confident steps and talk about the fact that we want to receive cooperation from nato, that we are ready to be members of nato, or, after all, the lack of this clearly articulated position, well, at least i did not hear it, means that, uh, kyiv is still ready for this finnishization that you mention and the gradual transition to nato, well, the way of finland, it's true , finland has been going for this for almost 80 years a-a well, i think that our path should be much shorter, well, you will understand me correctly i am not saying the first finlalization. yes, when there was the very limitation of the foreign security policy and the internal policy of finland for a long time, and scandals still surface because there are documents that show that even the prime minister was actually a person who

carried out the will of the kremlin and not his own people and despite the fact that finland has always been a democratic country. i mean 2:0, when finland was ready, a window of opportunity opened and it immediately became a member. well, not yet, because they have to definitely redirect the parliaments, but in fact it happened. that's why it's so definitely i would like it to be a clear signal that ukraine is not abandoning its goals of becoming a member of nato . side well, to decorate the pdc. it seems to me that there is no sense now, for the idle reason that no one will surely demand this document from finland, sweden, because it is actually such a formal

technical document that is actually there. you don't need to join nato to become a member of nato, but let 's see how this fact will happen one day, then why should we ask for it? why am i talking about this because, for example, the same france and germany were considering a joint venture? well, if the americans pressed them and eastern europeans, they considered it as such a possible option. well, the suggestion of postponing the bureaucratization of this process. well, again, so as not to annoy putin, and therefore. well, he would not be instrumental, it is for you and me. yes, they want ukraine to become a member of nato, and we criticized there at one time, the previous president could be criticized for some steps that were not entirely in the direction of nato. that's why it would be nice if the check was once like this and we said yes , we fulfilled 80-90% of it there. yes, let's go here think about how ukraine is responsible

and follow this path, and therefore for internal use, it would certainly be good, but for external use, for our own effectiveness, in order for us to participate in nato. it seems to me that this document, well, it is simply not needed, but actually the case with finland, sweden , it this shows that we know that these applications submitted by finland and sweden still have to undergo ratification in 30 parliaments of the countries that are part of nato, we know that turkey also had certain questions from finland and sweden until the last on the eve of the madrid summit, they said that these problems do not exist, or can some countries that are part of nato take some other decision, taking into account the influence of the russian federation on western europe, well, you know, it is difficult for me to say for sure

, some small percentage remains because well , of course there are influences, and not only monetary influences, but also useful idiots, they didn’t go anywhere, but on the other hand, let’s look at what europe received, well, ukraine, a nato member, from the point of view of these two countries, first of all, if we are watching from the north, this is the protection of the interests of the russians, they are simply dreaming about this northern sea route, they want to control it, they are militarizing the arctic, and this is a problem for a large number of northern european countries, canada and the united states, and that is why the strengthening of nato is extremely important right now the kola peninsula is near murmansk, where is the base of the baltic fleet. i apologize to the northern fleet, where

by far the most important nuclear fist of the russian federation is located. that is, this is an important point the second point is the actual security of the baltic sea, it becomes a nato lake, and it is much more difficult for russia to provoke or do some things in relation to the baltic states, since such a land bridge has appeared. above all , estonia and lithuania in the event of a conflict, it is certain that the russians will feel more restrained . railway connection, but i want to remind you that in fact the european union has closed the airspace exclusively through this baltic sea, russian and civilian planes can fly to this

enclave. that is, it is also an important moment to reduce the probability of a conflict with the baltic states by the russian federation, and that is a contribution finland in finland is extremely powerful in the military sense i already said about the 64 in 35 that they plan to buy but even now they are powerful further if we look from the point of view of turkey and i really did not like that yordagan took out this sor ssby public e and in fact, you know, he behaved like this in a very eastern ozerska, it should have been done through more specified doors and by the way, here you can even say some of the psychotypes of different northern countries who are extremely restrained. yes, she is like that. in fact, there is a little uh, well, i understand his interests, but in principle he could have achieved it in another way, so here is a very important thing:

germany not only got the opportunity, let's say, to buy weapons from finland, sweden, which imposed in fact, there was an embargo in 2016 on turkey, but they actually unblocked modernization in 2016 with the americans. i hope that not only modernization, because they also planned to buy a certain number of f16s , and i also hope that they will return to the contract for the purchase of f-35s. -e planes and in this way this improvement or rapprochement of ankara to washington will actually take place. actually, we suffered at a certain time from the fact that these were misunderstandings and not incomprehensible, let's say so, claims to each other, despite the fact that during during trump's tenure, herbert mcmaster tried to somehow combine these relations, because everyone will understand the strategic importance of turkey,

but actually i am very impressed that the americans will most likely get better. russia is defined as a threat to the transatlantic space, this slightly limits, let's say, the degree to which turkey can appear in cooperation with the russian federation. i do not say that it will refuse economic cooperation there or behave differently in the black sea, but this will mean more dependence on the rest of nato members . i think that the issue of syria was also discussed there. i mean
