how we should reform and change in order to be able to count on help from the european union from our overseas partners, but lithuania insists that urgent work on the restoration of ukraine should be carried out now and helps financially. please tell me how difficult it is to lobby for this kind of help when you understand that you can allocate money, but you are not sure that russia will not come to ukraine in a specific location and destroy everything there, well, that is, we understand that each the country shares what it currently has in its reserves in order to help us. but is it difficult to lobby the language of your common enemy ? lithuania,

ukraine, or even countries like israel. we will always live on the border with the enemy, but every war and every crisis is also an opportunity to make our country the best because only when we are the strongest will we overcome this enemy. who will always be us to destroy forever even today we will go to lithuania it is possible to say with russia well not so hot how are you well all the same and about european integration er this is what we talked about in lugano and yesterday i was at the conference er help you and where is our example speaking i i think the best thing is this area where we can do it. well, not such big money, but from the heart, it's

just the reforms for european integration that we have to do a lot in a very short time. how would it be until the end of this year? i would say that the commission told you there are 7 issues that need to be addressed to solve it, we have already broken the soviet machine in lithuania and we are already members of the european union , so today in the parliament we will vote for the entry of sweden and finland into nato, but we have made a lot of reforms and when we started negotiations in 1999 oh, our economy grew like a champion, 10% er, gdp, er, i don’t know how in russian, er , in one year, we became the baltic economic

tigers in our economy. что э-э вы больше country you have everything more, but we need to open all these markets, so we will use these 6 months until the end of the year to transfer our experience to you, how we started to do all the european reforms, and not only us. i think it might even be possible to come to you already in august for the 6th time this year, with the chairmen of the committees of the european affairs of the parliaments, all of it, at the european union, we were with your ivanoy klympu now, prague with them, and here are the germans, the french, and the czechs, and the poles, and the lithuanians, we have the most

the best people who are from the european integration of our country made the strongest economies in the world. and with all this experience, with our money, we have to make your country one of the strongest economies and euros, and so we will spend our money and experience on this. i think it will be the best because russia will always be well, not always, but maybe someday it will be clarified, but uh, your uh, your economic power will always be the fact that uh, they will never die, uh, and i think that's why they envy you and kill you because they they understand that they will always live in this putin's house saltire, it seems now that they are killing us because of us. our potential, which can be realized thanks to your help, but

when it is realized and our economy will become really powerful, by analogy with and by analogy with your economy, then it will be one of our shields from the russian federation, because to forcibly encroach on an economic country that is capable of defending itself in every sense well, that will be a completely different story. at the same time, mr. fantas , you have a very difficult situation. the position of lithuania regarding the e transit of some sanctioned goods to the kaliningrad region e.e. on july 10, the prohibited import of cement, alcohol and a number of other goods of russian origin into the territory of the european union entered into force, this is the fourth package of sanctions and one of

its parts e-e we now we would like to talk about how difficult it is for lithuania to explain your principled position to other european countries to your european partners, because we understand that some european countries have i have a bad habit of still trying to avoid the sanctioning mechanisms that they themselves introduce. well, for example, the story with the turbine that will go from canada to berlin and will probably be handed over to gazprom. what’s next is not completely clear to me now. i also realize that european countries can put pressure to lithuania in order not to tease the russian federation and pass under sanctions goods through the sovas corridor to the kaliningrad region. how difficult is it now for lithuania to remain on this principled position

? i was just talking about the meeting of the ashes. where was your chairman of the european committee, ivan klymbush ? he started er-er punching a corridor er-er in the free city of gdansk and we know that the europeans then did wrong, they just er-er and then all that hitler needed was thinking that this would de-escalate the situation and we know how it ended, it ended with a war and large casualties и и так что если мы чето we learned from history that these corridors

that putin now wants to create in kaliningrad are necessary for everything. and this is to react in a different way with solidarity and sympathy and even more sanctions because lithuania is not the aggressor here, we are imposing sanctions as a whole the european union is the principle position of the europeans for what they are doing to you. and they just want to shift this war onto the small shoulders of lithuania, but we must respond even more harshly and with more weapons and more sanctions . makes you ukraine because it's not yours anymore, it's already in a european country, you're a candidate, a member of the european union

, and every ukrainian killed on your territory is a european, a murderer on your territory, we 're going to react very harshly, and can you open the curtain for our viewers, which european countries maybe they are trying to discuss with lithuania about this transit now, because why are we watching it so much, the danger of precedent , well, that is, if sanctions are neglected once, there will be a second one, and it will snowball, you know, then what is the meaning of these sanctions at all, the truth is, which of the european countries can maybe even in leadership positions, as it is commonly believed, is now trying to influence lithuania well, i think so, you know, i am a former diplomat and worked a lot with berlin, and i just see that not always

even ukrainians appreciate this big turn, which berlin is happening now. i always spoke when i was working with european integration. he never goes to the other side. so you have to work from germany, and this fall will be very important . you must understand that you must move away from putin's energy needle, which he himself created, it is difficult. they don’t have terminals of the railway that we have already built. phew, i don’t even remember when only misfortune is building it, it will be a hard

economic winter not only for ukraine but for germany . putin's regime will no longer exist next year, but we have to survive it, and he is friends with the germans so that they survive this winter. the price of freedom is the price of freedom for europe, not only ukraine, and we will pay it. i'm sorry, i'm a little bit against

you. the economy of germany, which is very dependent on non- energy resources, will weaken, so surely you have the understanding to consider the transfer of that turbine to canada by us. well , we can't actually remain without russian gas now, and i really understand that the transition to energy dependence on russia cannot be instantaneous and probably even it would be very difficult to carry it out in one cold season, but the dynamics that the germans are currently lobbying for are so long-winded and dangerous precisely because you are outlining how to convince german colleagues what is better possible mmm more painful but faster and with greater prospects i agree with you when i was the ambassador in your tone i remember then i spoke uh-uh with

american diplomats what the germans do uh-uh with gas this is 19th century russia - this is the 19th year, maybe the 18th, these are all pipes and pipelines - this is history - this is very, very expensive and rough, it is not a market, it is necessary to create a gaza market, and it can only be liquefied terminals of the already married gaza you can now gas purchased in lithuania is everywhere from america, from the countries of asia, from norway. there are none problems, mmm, close all these pipes, russia has already closed all of these pipes, and we are happy about it , because we are independent, and i therefore support your client, who criticized this turbine from canada, yes, it is necessary to go back to history look

to see the future and it is necessary, this is how logotinsky green and others say yes, it is necessary to do a lot of green and energy, but also a question for green. and what about nuclear cyber- getics? energy industry because this is one of the exits in ukraine and even in lithuania we had 80% of the energy industry and that's why russia worked so hard with our brains that we didn't build american japanese reactors and maybe we will build one more maybe with the poles, well, now we are on the green course, but all the same, we need to use all the opportunities to go away from this needle of russia, and this autumn

will be uh, hysterical, because entrepreneurs. i think that everything will move away from the russian needle by the end of the year, and what then and then the collapse of russia the economy is all these illusions that they are selling gas to china, they are already selling it, but at such prices that there is no business there at all. there is no, and china will put russia on its knees for a long time. i remembered the news that a few days ago appeared in the information space, the european parliament recognized investments in gas and nuclear energy as green, the supporters of the solution count on an increase in production and export of resources, critics of course wish to see here the benefits of the russian federation, but one way or another for

atomic energy, as we see, a certain green light in the european union can be restored again, e p zhugimantas. pavilions from the lithuanian diplomat, the head of the international affairs committee of the seimas of lithuania, the head of the bilateral lithuanian-ukrainian assembly. finally, summing up the topic of lithuania, i would like to remind you that it was the lithuanians who were the first to decide to gather for ukraine at the bairaktar, they did it just extremely fast, but thanking the water producer in turkey for the water, this barractar will be provided already provided to ukraine. as i understand it, it is free of charge. and the money that the lithuanians managed to collect , they will spend on 80 anti-drone radars, also for our country, a good quest was launched by the lithuanians

. then he was supported in poland and in ukraine itself. it’s a cool thing that we have one thing. well, it’s not serious. let’s talk, for example, about four . lychyn and prytula said and they did the incredible again. thanks for the water to the producer of directors, who was absolutely i was also stunned by such hype and he again offered us such a cool promotion. we are moving forward on a free basis. they use long-range heavy weapons kindly provided by our partners overseas and practice in warehouses with ammunition logistics nodes and also by a group, as i understand it, with e-e high-ranking officials of the russian army

and the personnel of this was restless in occupied luhansk, and here it is probably important to emphasize that ria novosti immediately wrote with reference to local pseudo-media in the so-called lpr that the anti-aircraft defense worked, everything was fine , they even fired a few missiles, something was intercepted by ukraine and in no way did they get swept away, so to speak, by the further detonation, the sounds of the detonation that were inherent in the audio-visual material that spread in social networks well, what can i say detonate means that they hit the spot serhiy zgurets, the director of the information consulting company defense-express, is now in touch with us, mr. sergiu. congratulations. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. congratulations

. to somehow advance in the direction of izyum sloviansk tells us the general staff confirms the fighters from the donetsk direction, but the enemy still does not abandon these efforts, as for bakhmut, for example, if we talk about donetsk region again language, it is more likely to storm it, and they will be unable to leave again and again, that is why they will try to somehow surround or isolate the population center, how do you see the situation in donetsk region as of this morning, please well, if we consider the general staff today, then the enemy is really resorted to traditional measures, this is precisely to try to find weak points in our defense there in the direction of sloviansk, to fire at the groupings directly around bakhmut and try to somehow move from

lysychansk to the grouping of the financial the accumulation in the direction of seversk between the seversk donets there to try somehow to push through their units, but all these actions are carried out by tactical groups, they are not, let's say, that powerful. and actually this is the reverse side of the so-called operational pause, where the body is trying to keep the ukrainian troops in good shape. there are no opportunities for ivas , active hostilities on a large scale, i think that in fact the enemy has no potential for such large-scale actions at the current stage, because we know the significance of the loss that the enemy has suffered after the battle for severodonetsk, lysychansk, and now the dynamics in the field are changing due to the high- quality use of high- quality fire control systems that destroy logistics and deprive

, relatively speaking, russian compounds of ammunition and that, of course, minimizes the possibility of any further offensive actions and the conduct of this tactic of a barrage of fire, if we look at certain tables and graphs, it is quite interesting that in comparison with territory of ukraine, we can see that the number of strikes has significantly decreased because the enemy is really losing the depots that provide precisely his artillery, and the fact that now the front line is slowly stabilized and the use of these himers systems really gives the ukrainian army the opportunity not only to slow down the enemy's advance there, but also to influence a change

in the nature of hostilities, and what is extremely important in the current conditions, when we are also accumulating e-e reserves and implementing plans for the liberation of our territory, mr. sergey, you say that the front it looks more or less stabilized now, does this apply to all areas, or, for example, the situation in the south and in the east are now somehow different, eh, the south, eh, and the east, in fact, we now have two areas of franka within a thousand kilometers, where eh, such focal hostilities are taking place with the use of enemy artillery, but the effectiveness and pace of the use of this artillery has significantly decreased, it is simply impossible to carry out actions against the enemy on such a wide area of ​​the front, and now, relatively speaking, from the point of view, such a certain stabilization is taking place due to the lack of live forces and equipment of the enemy to carry out some

broad attacking or attacking actions, this is actually what we refer to the operational pause, which is actually connected with the exhaustion of the russian troops, which will be combat operations on the territory of ukraine, when we talk about the ukrainian troops, therefore directly we now we are focusing on ensuring the stabilization of the front line around , around, directly, slavic kramatorsk, to prevent the advance of the enemy, in comparison there, all of his solidar bakhmut ensure e.e. protection of the pakhmut and preventing the cutting of the railways come out on the bakhmat using the forces and means that we have and directly using new means in the impression that when we talk about the south, the situation there is quite like that because if we consider

the statements energy workers in the south opera command, they say that the situation is flexible, it changes in certain areas, but we provide advancement in separate directions, although without detailing these advancements in the south, we are also actively working our aviation, what we talked about yesterday with the representatives of the air force command, and this indicates that in the south we have really certain , let's say, prerequisites for squeezing the enemy out of our territory, oh mr. sergey, did you see the actual evening i don't know the film or video that was presented in the main intelligence office about a special operation in the deep rear of the enemy, as we understand from the release of several ukrainian prisoners of war and civilians, but i would like to understand how frequent this is

special operations and how difficult it is to carry them out in the rear of the enemy where it would seem that everything is against you. well, it is possible, except for the local population, to contact with which , again, potentially . behind the enemy's rear, this is actually one of the specific e-e tasks, in particular, there special operations forces of deep reconnaissance companies or other units that e-e are sufficiently trained to carry out such e-e inconspicuous but students actions, e-e, the preparation of such operations requires full awareness of what is happening where the group goes to perform such a task. i do not include that there is interaction between our groups there and the forces of the resistance, which act to hypnotize the territory , because it is precisely the formation of the resistance forces that was one

of the tasks of creating such new approaches to the control of our territory, even if the enemy is temporarily in this territory, and precisely i think that the combination of information of interaction with the forces of social opera of ukrainian villages against or and a clear understanding of the task that needs to be performed . relying on the professionalism of the officers of the main intelligence department, we just have such examples. when we can, er, you are encroaching on the territory that is bought by the enemy, er, withdraw and release people who are of critical importance to us, mr. serhiy, er, a few more questions, in particular, concerning the weapons that are currently used by the armed forces of ukraine in order to work very accurately on the enemy

's rear objects that we need it is possible to show off other weapons of our own production if we are not talking about a very far rear, in fact, now the main emphasis on the destruction of targets in the rear of the enemy, indeed, today, eh, is laid out on heimers, which have a range of up to 77 km and are high-precision samples from the target up to three meters which the enemy cannot destroy in flight, taking into account the peculiarities of the planning of the operation when we carry out this operation and at night the opposition changes very quickly and we spend a minimum of time in order to be in those positions where we we carry out himersive launches. we also have at least 30 howitzers from different

countries, if we do not count the howitzers, three sevens , we are talking about more modern systems such as those supplied by germany. armored howitzer-2000, we are talking there about the swedish e-e archers, about the french caesars, all these e-e howitzers are at such a technological level that really we can also precisely perform the task of destroying individual targets at a distance of up to 40 km, as there you are using only minesweeper ammunition, which are also we received from our partners, so the use of howitzers of foreign production really complements the spirit of the version. when we talk directly about ukrainian weapons , first of all, here we highlight the work of the neptune naval complex, that is, on the cruiser moscow and the recent strikes on oil wells or oil and gas wells in chornoy

mori, where the last video says that these strikes were carried out with the help of rockets, not neptune, although directly nika beluchnik bromprom has not yet confirmed this information, but we understand that it could really be a ukrainian missile , that is, in fact, the potential of ukrainian photocurrent weapons is not long-range, it is still at the e-e development stage, and i think that the use of those developments that are in kb luch can be the basis for the creation of own e-e projects that will to supplement foreign samples, which today are more in the ukrainian army, mr. serhiy, i thank you and summarize our conversation with you this morning with the news that germany is handing over anti-aircraft tanks cheetah jet systems to ukraine of volley fire, mars self-propelled artillery installations, gauss armor and the ais air defense system, we will also talk about projectiles

, ammunition, and also all additional information is absolutely necessary for our military, all this help will come from germany, so far the deadlines are not specified , supposedly for security reasons or in order to uh well, don't outline them because they're afraid something else will break. thank you serhiy zgurets, director of the information consulting company defense express, was in touch with us. and now the traditional daily minute of silence we will honor with a minute of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia
