lead and not just stop it head-on, because it is difficult to stop such a machine head-on, not even i, i do not know, more prepared armies, more massive, need military cunning and military skill, well, about this trick, about skill , oleksiy danilov, secretary of the council of national security and defense, speaks because he is talking about the fact that president zelensky sets the task of liberating the whole of ukraine, and before that there was a statement by iryna viryshchuk and the prime minister of ukraine, who said that it is desirable for the residents of the southern regions to they left their homes because the ukrainian army will go on a possible offensive in the future, when it is possible, i won't say when it is possible, let's say the creation of conditions and the accumulation of the power of means - this is exactly the business of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but now it is possible while the

weather is dry, you just need to create m-m conditions directly for this, it is er-e create on the offensive shock units er-e covertly ensure their er-e advancement in position covertly place and let’s say normal er-e training counter battery e. counter battery guns e . in those directions, where the direction of the main strike will be chosen, i think we will see there, we will see in the near future , in particular, those who are now in the occupied

territories, and in particular in the kherson region, must understand that we are doing everything and the soldiers do not appreciate they don't code their lives in order to free them, so they should consider everything out of understanding hmm, help us as much as possible because this territory, which is currently occupied, must definitely return under uh, let's say under uh, control of ukraine the armed forces of ukraine and we are doing everything now, the politicians, well, those who have stupid command and all the others are fighting for it and doing everything possible to do it. thank you, colonel. who is fighting in the south of ukraine and we are joined by another officer of the special forces battalion of the armed

forces of ukraine major of the armed forces of ukraine ihor lapin p ihor good day good health i am glad to see you on the air i wish you health let's start a conversation with you for hymersa with the fact that receives the enemy during the last week, we already talked with roman kostenko about the east and the south, and how warehouses are burning there, how it changes the operational situation at the front well, i don't think that it will be a big secret for anyone that, in principle, at the beginning of the war, when only the russian invasion began, the main task of our units, which were located, let's say, had the opportunity to enter the rear of the enemy, it was the destruction of their communications, the destruction of fuel stations in order to, as they say, armor had nothing to ride on, well, that's the case, in short, for today, the destruction of nothing the destruction of communication about the enemy has also changed. let's say that in the rear

, in their rear, this is the number one task that we can perform thanks to, well, precisely the high-precision weapons against which russia is today. well, how can we say yes, uh, there is no anti- aircraft defense equipment in their pod, if we are talking now about the hymers , that is the most important thing. well, you know, i remember very well, as it were, under popasna, when one of the water-based anti-aircraft guns could hit me in a day put from one thousand to one and a half thousand shells of large caliber , and the military understands what this is about and the infantry actually survived in the ground, so let's say the lack of shells for the enemy is, well, it's a relief for those who are in the trenches today, as they say, biting into the ground in ukraine and they don't allow the enemy any further, as they say well, for a free ukraine, that's why this situation is well, the

obvious decline of communication in the enemy's rear, the destruction of their warehouses, their reserve units in general, the destruction of their logistics. well, i think that this task is quite enough . the front line should take a break from shelling and at the same time carry out some contour offensive actions because when the russian artillery does not work, the russian soldier does not rush to kill very much. well, i am telling you this from experience, on july 20 there should be a meeting another meeting in the rammstein format. we remember that two meetings were held in april and may, after that it was decided that uh, 40 countries representing the minister of defense joined the so-called anti- putin coalition. and they said that for them it was an honor to lose russia in the russian-ukrainian war. what can we expect from the next

meeting, well, considering how ukraine is being filled with weapons from the west and the united states of america, great britain and germany and poland, many countries supply us with weapons, which can be decisive in this night and to what extent this meeting can speed up the fall of the russian government and the russian regime, which is now headed by putin. well, it is not a secret for anyone that the war contains several directions, yes. that is, we know that there is an information war on the information front there is a physical confrontation of the armed forces of ukraine against the russian invaders, there is an economic war , which the whole civilized world has joined, and here in the second option, well, there can be no other moments. and it is precisely in the context of all these meetings i believe that several directions will be resolved, one

of the directions, in my deep conviction, this should be the resolved direction that we need weapons not only for survival, not only for defense, but also for carrying out offensive actions of some kind, and for this it is necessary to reformat the weapons themselves i.e. that we need more today, which mechanisms, which means, and so on, this applies to such a military unit, if we talk about the issue of the anti-putin coalition, the number of those countries. i believe that they are joined it. it must be expanded because supplying weapons forever is one story. and if we are talking about the political destruction of the aggressor state, then i believe that only a parade of republics inside russia can speed up the reduction of putin's ambitions and maybe even his there sudden departure from power is no

longer important, how it will happen, whether it will happen in the usual palace coups for russia or it will happen at other moments, this is the very mechanism that will be worked out at this moment, i think it will not to be of great importance in the context therefore, it makes no difference to us, let's say how putin will disappear from the leadership of russia and how the operator of the republics within russia will take place, therefore i believe that at this meeting in the context of the anti-putin coalition , such issues should also be discussed. well, what it concerns sanctions and other economic issues that we are fighting today and the whole civilized world opposes the russians. i believe that it is necessary to make it impossible to bypass sanctions on the part of our countries. what other friends did not join the coalition or others countries that still today think that

putin's right-wing cause is possible, well, today it is a war of civilizations. this is a war of autocratic regimes against democracy, and ukraine today acts as an outpost defender of let's say yes democracy of world and human values, of the civilizational choice of ukrainians that we made in 14 mr. igor, another important issue that we are discussing in the context of what is happening in the east and south is the question of the future or the current northern front of ukraine, this front still exists maybe he is in a slightly different situation than the eastern and southern fronts, but we have there the self-proclaimed president lukashenka, who literally yesterday announced that the west is going to fight russia with belarus, and that the west will pave, they say, these ways to fight with

by the russian federation through belarus and ukraine, and he mentioned the second world war and talked about the fact that a hybrid war is now taking place against belarus, about the fact that the allies of the zadekabaisya and the cis are taking a waiting position. let's listen to lukashenka and then talk about what is being done in belarus, because it is also very important. i remember how in december, november 2021, you repeatedly spoke on tv about this front that will arise in ukraine, it will definitely arise, and it so happened that on the 24th we were not ready for this front . but first, lukashenko."

at the same time, demands are being made, the economic political unions in which belarus is included, russia, massive pressure led to the fact that, unfortunately, some of our allies to put it mildly, the csb and the cis take a caustic position, but at the same time, the political situation of belarus has not been shaken. we maintain a dialogue with countries that respect our opinion and our interests . in the first days of the war , the belarusians were in the ranks that went against ukraine, well, at least you know for sure because you fought in gostomel and you can say whether the belarusians were

on the territory of ukraine, whether they entered or not maybe you know better, but not now, we see how er air alarms are quite frequent in volynsk rivne er khmelnytskyi lviv oblasts because planes take off from airfields in belarus there are russian planes how er lukashenko governs his state and how accountable he is for what he says and is he simply being used by putin and nothing at all depends on him and he is not here to listen to because the center of approvals - this is located in one city in the city of moscow, well, look first at hmm, i would like to say that i will investigate lukashenko, i am recovering quite seriously in the context that they are directed at the preparation of their own consumer, the own consumer of information from lukashenko are precisely the security forces on which vlada

lukashenko hangs on, the fact that today he is on a tightrope and tries to sweat between putin's threats and between the realities that await him if he does make this attempt . february i think that he is trying to balance. i have , let's say, a great understanding of the fact that i have many acquaintances who live on the territory of belarus with whom i have the opportunity to communicate. and they say that the belarusians are not ready to fight and die for putin, er, lukashenko is trying to convince the belarusians that the problem is not putin, but the problem is that there is a threat to belarus itself, for them, and so on. i think that this is just preparation such

of the information field in order to later show justify his order with some things. salary to die in ukraine, he will actually lose power because he will not be saved by the russian national guard and the russian armed forces on the territory of belarus because the hatred towards him is quite high and we want to - i want to remind everyone that the real rating of lukashenka is not what he is drew for himself during the elections and we all understand that. the question is how it will end, whether it will go or not. well, i think it will go because the fear will be shot, or maybe other blackmail things that putin can use against him, well, it can happen, well, quite quickly and let's put it this way, i don't know how he

will behave as a person, but to save his own skin, he can do it, on the other hand, the issue of a second revolution or the issue of physical destruction as a result of hostilities for lukashenka today is more remote than being executed for by order of putin, this is a closer result. what is expected of him, so it seems to me that he will still go. the question is how ready they are. well, let's put it this way, look. we are fighting against one of the largest armies in the world today, let's remember the numbers that we were told there are 140,000 or 160,000 russians standing on our borders, plus the groupings of the ldr, the so-called scoundrels there, plus there in the crimea and so on. that is, we remember these numbers for today, let's look at the state of affairs of the armed forces of belarus well, there are certain special forces there, they may be amonov security forces. well, they don’t mind. in the army, they were preparing to fight, so i have great doubts that

they will be able to fight fully. and i have doubts that they will do it, but if the brothers, in terms of the number of personnel, even the composition, they are the only thing they do they are very seriously restraining our forces on the northern border, let's not forget that 2,000 km of the border with russia and 1,000 km of the border with belarus , we have to keep a full grouping of our troops on this territory, and that we ourselves cannot help with the amount of necessary means, for example, the boys in the donbass or there. i am more acute why because to show that the belarusians are already there and lukashenko will be wiped out and he has already entered, the russians can make such an adventure for them, this is not the first time - we remember that for them this is a disguise, they have always been and in principle

they didn't go anywhere, so in this situation i would pay attention to the following directions that i voiced. well, of course , we remember how during the second world war the soviet army dressed up in upovka and tried to destroy the local population and then talked about what you look like bandera people what are they doing, but in the situation with the belarusians, it is obviously very important not the reaction of belarusian society, we know that the belarusians , even if they cannot clearly articulate publicly their disagreement with the russian federation, are still a completely different people than we are russians, we understand this very well, can it happen in this situation that the army that will go to ukraine will then simply turn around and go to lukashenko, the army will not turn around, the army can only run away, turn around, it is unlikely because the military

machine cannot, but with this one minutes, they went against the ukrainians, they gave them diarrhea, they turned around and went to fight against those who sent them there, well, first of all, those who get diarrhea will not fight at all, and those who have not yet gotten diarrhea, there is no point in them having a good salary, i am talking about the belarusian security forces and you are against the one who feeds them, so i have a big doubt . well, once again, let's still be realistic. the question of whether to enter or not to enter seems to me to be solved for lukashenka, he just doesn't know how to do this, but the question is how seriously it will harm us. how quickly will you deal with them? this is a slightly different question, so i don't have a question about whether belarus will go, i have a question about how deep they will be able to go and how faithfully we will react and not to ignore the obvious things that you and i talked about on the air and in orund and in january of 22nd and in december of 21st that i always said that

the main attack would go without kyiv. putin is not interested in anything, and he can attack kyiv from above from belarus that's how it all happened and he shouted on all the broadcasts that the teteriv river let's keep in mind the bridges there, that's why we need ivanka from there and so on, you and i discussed it on the air no no no no belarusians from belarus will not go well nothing will work, well, he drove 100,000 here, what's the point look at them, well, in order to go the same way today, here are all the training sessions. of course, this is all blackmail on the part of lukashenka, he could, in principle, achieve the point that everything would be forgiven him. if he turned around today, he would say to putin, vova is good . yes, yes, that is, but the point is that putin’s touch is far from russia, and putin’s troops are enough. well, lukashenko can’t stand up to the

russian troops that are based on his territory today. yes, that is, if he says no. well, there are a lot of troops, of course. it is not profitable for putin to fight on two fronts, but it would be more profitable for lukashenko in this situation too. it seems to me that because europe is tolerant, europe would forgive him many sins . if today he would say to putin no and that's it. and let's go away. well, for the rest , literally one thesis. well, if lukashenko thinks that the war will only be on the territory of ukraine. well, why are they all so naive? i don't know. well, let him look at bilhorod. let him see on the brain, well, they have it today, the main source of income is from the gas-dependent industry, which is called fertilizer, what do they do, and the mozarsky n is, well, there are also a couple of thermal power plants that provide electricity. well,

let 's see how far it is here. the troops will come and we will start beating them. well, we will not stop, the truth is, we will finish it off. why should we wait for him to gather new forces or something? i emphasize the conviction once again for lukashenka, the card is already open, he just doesn't know how to do it so that while the troops are occupied in ukraine, so that he is not destroyed in belarus, this is his only moment, and putin does not guarantee his safety. well, i think he would be better off would like to play today with european partners who can justify some kind of security because putin will simply finish him, or today or tomorrow he will use him, he will finish everything, well, you know, the situation is a little reminiscent of november 2013, when yanukovych flew to china and then flew to sochi and where he had a conversation with putin and putin said something to him there, well, obviously he said that vitya, you will end after that if you

go to the european union and yanukovych there is no other way out or you can see that the situation is approximately the same and lukashenko, who has accumulated loans in the russian federation, understands that he simply cannot survive without russian gas and oil, but on the other hand, when he talks about the fact that the allies of the csto and the cis are taking a wait-and-see position, what this indicates is that both lukashenko and putin are obvious they counted on the fact that one way or another the odkb would go to war against ukraine, of course you can’t compare it with the russian army, and you can’t compare the members of the central bureau of investigation in terms of numbers, maybe in terms of weapons, but still, uh, they obviously wanted such a big war of the odkb against ukraine and to provoke to hit us on our strikes there on belarus or on russia would mean that the dkb troops should have entered the territory of ukraine defending it by

analogy with the famous fifth amendment or the fifth point about nato eh why was the kb afraid why they don't they don't support putin they do after all, they still believe that putin will end this war with a defeat, well, look at my deep conviction that supporting putin does not make any sense for putin, even in the dkb it was only necessary in the political context at the time when he started his war against ukraine i am talking about the last hot phase i am not talking about the 14th year and so on, but at that moment he needed a dekab for political recognition that it is a lot of countries that it is collective, that is, you know well, not all of it take away, well, share a little that electric chair with other presidents of other members of the soviet union. here and there. the question is, what

is it, apart from the political support and military sense of the soviet union, of course it could harm us quite seriously, because again, these are tanks it's artillery again, it's again there are these or other things, plus even soldiers, no matter how many there are, well, you have to fight with them, that's why i say, but for putin, at the moment, he believed that he could achieve everything with the blitzkrieg and there, if there is any political dcb, it still supports him in general ok, let's now recall that the dcb supported putin. let's recall the statements that were made at the beginning of this aggression, so they didn't say openly that we're doing everything right here, but they polished these processes . the months of march, when the first wave of the most professional e-e paratroopers and equipment, and so on, we knocked out, we knocked out thanks to the volunteers, thanks to the patriots with

molotov cocktails, i emphasize once again that they were looking for the whole beginning of the war, all the volunteers were looking for weapons you understand, that is, this is exactly me, so to this day. it confuses me very much. well, why did president zelenskyy call with weapons in his hands to stand up for the defense of the homeland, he called, he called that the weapons were not distributed, no. well, somewhere they were distributed when it was already hot, when already in obolon, they threw those weapons into the street with ointments if only the men took it and went against the russians, but it was still possible to prepare for war and not so that people died with cocktails, well , not about that now, if we are talking about the dkb, i emphasize once again that putin needs political recognition as of today, he does not shake hands, let's look at the situation with lavrov, who went there to the summit, let's see with a possible invitation, not an invitation, points to the g20 and so on, that is, all this is already a rogue, now today the country becomes a rogue if lukashenko well, if luka wants to be a rogue too of course, he is playing. well, he is

leaving the bridge behind him today that if suddenly he does not have options so that he can betray putin at any moment and not get a bullet in the back of the head, well, that's what i'm saying now. because putin is a plum and let's go let's remember those uh-uh these uh-uh family of ska- fiddlers of the same there and other executions that were done demonstrably by the russian agents and so on in the world of mass poisoning and so on, that is, the russians always destroyed all the objectionable well, lukashenko leaves it to himself this is the moment. and the other members of the odkb, they are not so immersed in helping putin that today they have this amount of time and money for statements is quite large, thank you, thank you, mr. igor, we have to finish our program. this was igor lapin, a major of the armed forces of ukraine, a special forces officer of the special purpose battalion of the armed forces of ukraine it was a verdict program conducted by serhiy

rudenko goodbye watch on the air of our espresso news channel and euro espresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe co-broadcast with the atp channel radio svoboda programs voice of america time-time programs inclusion of public television journalists news programs bbc news ukraine and franz 24, as well as the broadcast of the informational marathon, the only news, together we are strength, glory to ukraine , we are looking for 17-year-old elizaveta alyoshina about the fate for almost three months, nothing is known about the girl . she lived in kropyvnytskyi, but during distance learning she moved to live with her grandmother in the city of liman

, this is the kramatorsk district of the donetsk region. the first two months of the war were more or less calm there, and elizaveta even regularly joined online broadcasts to study in the last one was contacted on april 25, and it was on this day that she told very disturbing news, she said that enemy shells began to fly over their house and she was very scared, and the very next day the connection with the girl was cut off and to this day there is no news from her, the city of lyman is now occupied by the rashists and she is letting through that they can deliberately jam the connection there, maybe that is why elizaveta can't call or write to anyone, so i am asking especially the residents of the kramatorsk district, maybe they are seeing me now, take a close look at the photo of the girl she she wears glasses , she has dark eyes and short dark hair, elizaveta is thin, her height is about 160 cm, if anyone has seen the girl after april 25, or if anyone knows where she

might be, don't delay, dial from of any mobile operator, the short number of the magnolia child tracing service , 116,000,000 calls to the hotline are free, or write to the chat bot of the child tracing service in telegram, another story of the disappearance of children, this time in kharkiv oblast. i have already told about 13-year-old melania in previous programs chumak and her 16-year-old brother ivan are being searched for by their mother, who has not heard from her little one for more than a month and does not know what happened to the children. melania and ivan's parents have divorced and have been living separately for a long time. the mother lives on poltava oblast, and the father in kharkiv oblast, when the war started, the children were with him. this is in this small village of lisna stinka, this is the kupyan district of the oblast, which was occupied in the first days of the full-scale invasion of russia. they are now fully occupied. at the moment, there is no possibility

to conduct an evacuation. it is too much . it is dangerous to have children, she said that melania and ivan called periodically last year, the woman talked to them on may 19 at 8 a.m. they said they talked for 10 minutes and everything was more or less okay and then after may 19 you suddenly lost contact with your children. just imagine what it's like for a mother not to know what's wrong with your little one. where is she now or what's wrong with her? okay, aren't the children sitting in the basement under fire or are they safe? answers to these questions helped me a lot. i appealed to the residents of the kupyan district of the kharkiv region, in particular, to tell them about the situation in the region. and then i received feedback from the chatbot service for the search for children. in a telegram, a woman who managed to leave there very recently and knows about the situation in the occupied district wrote to us. of course i called back and got it
