social networks, too much regarding the non-publication of the washington post, where investigators wrote that the ukrainian authorities knew about the attack by the russians long before the start of a full-scale war, that is , in the fall of 2021 in your opinion, could the ukrainians have avoided a war with the russians, or was it a big war , or would it have happened in any case, and could the ukrainians have been able to minimize losses in this war if they had been informed about it in time about the date of a possible attack by the russians on ukraine, which allows the russians to directly start a war against ukraine, a big war because they launched a war against us in 14th year. and it was precisely the fact that the

non-acceptance of certain measures by the state leadership on the scale of the state that allowed them to start this war and the fact that if we had all been warned in october, although a long time ago i warned that there would be a war in march of last year and told in which directions the enemy would attack and which objects he would destroy, it coincided with accuracy up to 100% let's take a look. if we had known about this in october, we could have had time. an example is one of the simple examples of procurement and production . the statesmen who rule our country, knowing that we are the attackers, increased the number of orders for our defense enterprises

, primarily for the same artem . in armenia, there was a projectile famine, what a problem there was even after the desire on the 34th day of their 44-day war, as well as in our country, the famine began already on the fourth day of our war with the russian federation, even then it was directly in february of this year, so if we increased the number of orders and the plant began to work 24/7 positive four months before the start of the war we could a huge number of shells what to do our glorious design bureau, which at that time also practically stood if it received stimulation received an order to increase the production of anti-tank complexes and pasture, then in these four months they could not release more than 2.5 thousand missiles and more than 500-600

launchers, this significantly improved our capabilities, of course, now the next in these four months along the russian-ukrainian border on the possible lines of attack of the russian federation, we could dig and equip, to be honest, in military language, a huge number of company strongpoints, see the equipment of a homogeneous strongpoint in the composition of the company, it is somewhere on the level of the activity of bayonets of 60-70 men in 7.5-8 days with 8-hour days, you can dig a mouth on a stronghold directly in these four months, let's count it was between if 40 minutes of weekends there , parkov, business days, we could, at least, each company could pour 12 years of strong points, it can be done, and honoring our obolona defense to a depth of more than 100 km there, and it would be great, and it means that it would increase our capabilities in relation to the opposition of the russian uh

aggression, we did not do this and did not directly receive the troops of these tasks and the defense-industrial complex did not receive tasks, and the leadership knew how it has already admitted that they knew about this war in addition to that and not. here are such shameful cases, let's remember when in january of this year for the armed forces, the verkhovna rada took more than 50 billion, 50 billion hryvnias, yes, 50 billion hryvnias, and one projectile for installations that we now have directly nato . for 50 billions, how many shells could we buy? and if we take the shells produced by our artem, then those 152 caliber shells at that

time cost at the level of 27,25,000 uah for 50 billion , how many could be ordered? and how many shells could be purchased abroad, not this amount this is precisely the irresponsibility and inaction that allowed the russians, seeing that no one is waiting for anyone, no one is preparing, in those four months it was possible to raise the level of territorial defense, not when on the first day of the war, machine guns poured out like firewood issued to anyone and in 4 months it was possible to train hundreds of thousands of people, those hundreds of thousands of people could be distributed in all directions where needed in this hundreds of thousands of people could build qualification facilities, which are significantly more complex we have russians here and that's all if only if unfortunately led to the fact that we have huge losses at the beginning of the war, especially among the local population, and

i don't know how our uh, not the civilian population will appreciate the fact that they were simply laid down, they were simply not told, because when you are ready for independence, what is the panic about says that he will unite somewhere in the 14th year, there will be no panic in the state, as there was not, and will not be, the fact that from kyiv, uh, from other settlements, uh, people left en masse and all the roads were blocked, it was like that, but for four months of the process could have been revealed. unfortunately, this inaction could not be avoided. the decision led to the point that the russians saw that we, well, they are right here. no one is waiting . their maneuver know their tasks the state is not ready the state is not waiting for all those previous 4 months on the eve of february, ah, roads were actively being built precisely on those tanks, eh, available directions, along which then absolutely calmly, starting from the crimea, from

kalanchak, ending there, eh, in the direction of chernobyl, russian tanks along the wonderful ukrainian roads that were built according to the program, large-scale construction is absolutely unordered, in the first day they reached the outskirts of kyiv, all this is not just shameful, it is something that will heat up the authorities if they tried to lie now, if they did not tried to tell now that their intentions were the best, not tens of thousands of those who died in the first days, never their relatives and loved ones, i will forgive them for this, it will be informational manipulation, but it will still not be erased from the people's memory, mr. general, well, it is obvious that the government needs an honest and a frank conversation with society she should conduct at least now because we understand that the war is six months in and we need to talk about reducing expenses in

all directions and direct all the money for defense to the armed forces of ukraine and it needs to be reduced the bureaucratic apparatus because it was and remains large enough in ukraine, obviously it is about the fact that the people who live in ukraine, from the smallest to the largest, must understand that the time will not come when each of us will have to take up arms or at least stand by with those who keep well, the armed forces of ukraine obviously must have some kind of general mobilization plan or war preparation plan. i remember very well how in the soviet union these trainings were conducted for schoolchildren and students, what to do in the case there of a nuclear explosion, what to do in the event of an attack, i.e. military training, isn't it too late? already now, and is it necessary to unfold this whole

big picture now, because we are only seeing and ascertaining the consequences of what happened six months ago, but despite the fact that the british and americans are predicting a long protracted war, we do not see this plan for the future preparation of society for the future debilitating war with russia in reality this is a plan it was signed in december excuse me in may 2019 decree number 200 of the president of ukraine this program the five steps that i proposed back in may of 19th to raise the level of the country's defense capability emphasize the countries that do not even have armed forces . of defense that have been created at the moment because it is even difficult to say and everything is absolutely not what ukraine needed and not what is needed now for the resistance movement,

national-patriotic education for military training of the population and informational resistance russian propaganda has been offering all of this as the main thing for a long time, and all the same, it was buried by this government for now, you are absolutely right. i would also say about this more than once that the three things that we must do now, the first is the preparation of the population, the preparation of the population, and television, the mass media , must go videos that teach how to disassemble weapons, how to use certain other military equipment, how to set up radio stations, how to act in the event of an injury topography it is absolutely necessary for the entire population next why because we must be ready not to wait simply to agate a huge

number of people who are taken in the event of a protracted war and will, if necessary, be ready to replace those parents and older brothers at the front, this must be done in our country by a huge number of people there is, just like in the armed forces, there are a huge number of servicemen, but not such a large number of soldiers, so the task is that we now have to train soldiers both in the armed forces and outside of it as for the economy, we must make it so that the entire economy was now working and was able to provide for our own needs so that we do not end up in certain things that we sometimes ask from our foreign partners, one example is who we ask for medical gowns, but we can sew medical gowns here, and for the money that goes for medical gowns, it is better to give us something military, which we cannot produce inside ukraine for certain reasons, that

it has simply never been produced in our country, or is it currently the enterprise is no matter what, but it is destroyed and the last thing we have to do is to prepare the territory of ukraine for war, namely, digging trenches in advance for other engineering structures, which allowed us to provide timely filling there with prepared personnel and directly increasing our ability to protect against damage or the enemy's armament, because this war has shown that the main thing here is not rifle contacts, not the ability to shoot, this is a war of artillery and means of high- precision impression, and we have only one defense against the enemy's artillery at the moment, so far it is deep a high-quality trench is a high-quality dugout where we can hide the service team, this must be done first of all. and even if we are sure that the enemy

will not go there, it is still necessary to occupy the territory if we have the ability, because we see that we already have 1300 km and the russian -ukrainian front at the moment , once again the activation of the russians on the part of belarus, this front may increase by another 1,084 km, the question of the enemy's inability to advance, and the question of our ability to be ready to repulse our active actions against the enemy. by the way, the minister of the defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikova gave an interview to the voice of america a few days ago, he spoke about the primary post-war reform, the reform in the defense sector, let's listen to him reform the armed forces and the security and defense sector in general, we had the first part of the attempt - the creation of territorial defense forces, which are a component of the armed forces forces of

ukraine, it unfolded literally from the wheels, it is not perfect in everything, but it already has its advantages and disadvantages, so i think that after the victory, which will definitely come, it will be necessary to sit down and understand what the number of the armed forces should be that for sure 260,000 is not enough, maybe 360,000 or 400,000, it is normal to count again using forces and means and accordingly, but i am convinced that, as we said, there will be a very large number of veterans who will go through this ukraine and russian war as winners. they will definitely may be that core of reservists who will be ready to join the strya, and i think that the issue of weapons circulation, including its legalization, as it is in many countries of switzerland, an example of the united states or in the same it is enough for israel. on the order, where is it? here is the key question. general, when reznikov says that this reform should be after our victory, it is

not clear when our victory will be and i do not understand how long this war will last, why why are we postponing this reform in the defense sphere and why, in the end, our economy does not become a military economy, as it should have been during martial law. well, first of all, not us, but they, and secondly, all that you say, prisnikov, is that you can review my speeches and programs that we taught and brought to the consideration of the supreme for the sake of it everything was two years ago, it's just so small on other people's thoughts on other people's achievements, but the question is not about that, not about our personal desires , the question is about making it work, they are still talking about the desire to do it, and i say that it should be done already a long time ago, yesterday, today, and tomorrow

. our competitors, what are our competitors, now there must be one political force in ukraine, the party of war with the russian federation and no other political forces. at the moment, i do not recognize and there is no force for me, only the party of war with the russian federation , because it is very important for us to draw conclusions as quickly as possible from of our mistakes, we made a lot of them. at this stage, on the scale of the state, we do not have the right to make them a second time. why don't they do this, because they only announce other people's opinions, passing them off as their own. because there is no such professional teams up there who could organize it quickly that's all, mr. general, the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense predicts

that very acute events can be expected at the front in the near future, the representative of the band, andriy yusov, said about it, he says that the matter is that and august and september will be extremely important months for the further development of hostilities at the front, at the same time the president of turkey , recep tayyip erdogan, says that ukraine and russia should sit down for negotiations, at least after that and zelensky to achieve a ceasefire, a definite cessation of hostilities, what does a temporary peace mean for ukraine and is it needed now at this moment and what will russia gain from this temporary peace? to fight because the very ability to freeze a set of conflicts primarily plays in favor of the russian federation, therefore war and

war are constant, which must be. i understand that it is difficult. i understand that it is very difficult, but in the meantime, any truce. i'm alone - it will play quickly enough in favor of the russian federation. they have a greater ability to transfer resources in relation to military production, they will say that they will not attack, meanwhile, they will accumulate means by force, produce new products and start the offensive again. therefore, no, no, no , there can be no question of a temporary truce judging by the information messages that come from moscow from the ministry of defense of the russian federation, they just want to force the whole world to influence the ukrainians and this truce was at least this morning, i read a report that the ministry of defense of the russian federation predicts that august 19, that is, tomorrow, will be at the zaporizhzhia npp, which

they write . i understand that they are due to the shelling of the zaporozhye npp, which can lead to very serious consequences not only for ukraine, for western europe, and for russia itself , because experts say that if radiation will go in the direction of the russian federation, there is the rostov region, the krasnodar region and many, many other regions of russia may be affected, that is, they adopted blackmail tactics and they are ready to blackmail the whole world and force the world or he pressured ukraine to go to some certain truce, can russia put this blackmail into

practice? in recent years, russia has always been engaged in this kind of leningrad blackmail, because putin, who was raised in leningrad in the suburbs of st. petersburg, knows exactly what it is to take on the weak, and this from childhood he had a lifetime ago and now he is trying to take us on weakly and by blackmailing the captured nuclear zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, are they able to go further, the question is of course interesting and insurance on the fact that the russian federation forces are in command of the troops stations, i emphasize how much attention they pay to this and they provide it directly as information , but you understand that if we have a nuclear power plant that was captured by the russians with which they are blackmailing, then a huge number of nuclear power plants

there is also one on the territory of the russian federation, and megatec is extremely concerned about the current situation and megatec is not a small organization, it is quite serious, which controls all nuclear power plants around the world, and there are levers of influence on them, if the russians have already directly lost any - what kind of understanding of real situations is there? they may be able to pressure, but the security system of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also allows timely closing of access and extinguishing this nuclear power plant, as for me, it is better for me for now to let it have let's turn off all the reactors completely, than we will have a headache, the question can be solved that at the moment it is just to turn off all the reactors and it does not reduce not allowing the enemy to blackmail, because he is not a general, there is a lot of talk about diplomacy, about some diplomatic efforts, the hotel meeting between

zelenskyi and erdogan, and everyone seems to be talking about that that there should be peace in the whole world, or do you believe that the russian-ukrainian war can end diplomatically, if not, in what way can ukraine win over russia if honestly, i don't really believe in the ability of diplomatic channels after the end of the war, they can already be when russia is defeated , then diplomats can join the negotiations regarding the acceptance of the capitulation of the russian federation. i understand that some will say that you are here until the end until the victorious end want to kill that's right because the russians aim not to fight to the victorious end and all their efforts to talk about a truce or peace - this is simply misleading us and as well as introducing delusion in the world society, in order to defeat the russians

directly, we still need the active help of our western partners, and we must deploy the raksian troops of the russian federation in such a way that they did not have any offensive capabilities at all, or at all, then clean our land from this russian enemy, liberate crimea this is what we need to do and we can do it. i am not saying that we will do it in a month or two, but if we take into account the proposals that the state should make regarding the protracted war that i i said at the beginning of this interview that plus the help of the west will allow us to achieve our victory by military means. general, do the representatives of the current government turn to you for advice or for some recommendations ? you have a lot of experience in managing the ukrainian

armed forces and in general, do you know anything about national security and defense? do those currently in power need this knowledge? as for the highest helmet of power, they do not apply. they are completely from these heroes. and as for the middle and lower e-e levels of this government, we actively cooperate and i provide both help and consultations and myself practically participate in the training of certain e-e units regarding the preparation of us e-e proof of war with the russian federation. thank you, mr. generals , for including the espresso tv channel on the air it was serhii kryvonos e-e former deputy commander of the sso e-e in 2016-2019 major general of the reserve friends for those who are watching us now live on social networks in social networks please put vpo
