from outside the public sphere, of course , serious questions were raised here, i want to balance, you know , turkey has recently provided us with 50 armored vehicles and cooperation on the base continues, not only supplies, but also preparation for the construction of a plant and new models, that is, turkey is playing its traditional historical game well , trying to be a mediator, but at the same time, let's say, assuring ukraine of its full support. i think that the turkish position can change what is more in favor of ukraine in the future, but i would like more one point to note is very important. president erdoğan's proposal to base some kind of further agreement or peace on the basis of the e-e scheme of this grain agreement is absolutely counterproductive for ukraine because it may be during the war in the interests of e-e group of countries outside, partly in the interests of russia, even

partly in the interests of there are a lot of foreign companies of ukrainian food producers. well, all the same, it is important for us to release just our e. there are opportunities for the future. no less, this scheme does not work for the establishment of peace, the only scheme in my opinion is the result of the war after the deoccupation, it is ukraine together with the usa, great britain, poland, other nato countries on one side, on the other side, a country that will be defeated with its satellites, this is the only option if it continues this scheme is winding down, let's do the same again without western allies, it's a very slippery road to nowhere. that's why we understand it in the president's office, so in principle, i'm just saying what my personal impression of this proposal is these visits and again

macron's phone call, although only the russians have reported about it so far, it just coincided in time, uh, didn't it just coincide in time? well, i'm sure that it didn't just coincide in time. the factor is obviously the goal they are talking about. practically everyone in the world, as analysts, has a very serious problem at the front. they need an operational pause. putin is doing everything in order to politically make this pause for his military groups and in in principle, you see that it happens synchronously, and hmm, these are the calls to which russia may not answer for months there that they are ready to negotiate and here they are suddenly ready and this coincides with the threat of nuclear blackmail or through the zaporizhzhia

station there is a threat of possibly creating some man-made disaster and so on this visit is exactly turkish uonivsky and not only that, we will see a lot of such speculations that the line has somehow stopped at the front. there is no success for any other side, perhaps the time has come. well, this is for all that and putin's development of the attitude towards russia as an occupier and aggressor not in the western world, but among other countries of the world, they are already allies, there were a number of small african countries that came to them for an arms exhibition, that is, they want to expand the circle of latin america africa, asia , so that the appeal seems like russia is coming out of isolation, besides, the discussion will be very active, and there will be a

trip to see putin at the ball in indonesia, there will be a group meeting of 20 countries, and this will all be bought the first is an attempt to pause some uh in such a way as to strengthen the military, the second is the breakdown of this position of the russian well and the third - this is the so-called coercion for peace, as they say, coercion for peace, in what situation when they say, well, look, we can decide the issue is important for the international community, grain and food were exported from russia, and by the way, not only food grain went there, plus sanctions were lifted on the replacement of parts in the aircraft fleet, that is, a lot of issues are solved for the world and for children africa, why is it a complete lie and a fake, it's a fake that we are the food people there, the crisis is going on and africa is in a difficult situation. no, it's not like that. it's just manipulation of this topic for the interests of those who

want to withdraw their money, which is invested precisely in the production of food. to solve in parallel. there are some issues that exist. that is, this is a conscious policy where everyone is looking for their own interests, and i will tell you frankly, we will have to be very careful here , because some things are becoming more difficult for us. one thing is when everyone clearly understands, uh, there is pressure of the situation, the occupier continues shelling, but it is another matter when the media focuses on some kind of agreement, well, a peace agreement. yes, as they say, you can look at it anyway. well, it means that the war is somehow receding into the background, so there is no need to pay attention to it. they can somehow collapse on their own. and we have to solve it the question of how to deal with energy, how to deal with food, the world is no longer suffering from this war. that is, it is the wrong way because our position is official as far as the occupation and withdrawal of russian troops is concerned, this is a key issue of providing

arms to ukraine, and they want to remove this issue, and this is how the struggle is going, including the informational one. well, in your opinion, has anything changed in the biden administration since the beginning of the conflict, and they blame the fact that they are perhaps more afraid of ukraine's victory over russia than uh, than the defeat of ukraine, is something starting to change, or is it the same statement by kissinger that ukraine is now one of us? well, if i interpret it correctly, this is evidence of such changes , will we have more weapons, finally, the position of the usa is yes it was constantly dynamic. it was very unfavorable for us in the first days of the week. after this stage of the war, a large-scale invasion by the russians, it quickly changed to support ukraine, and, as the president declared, the support was as long as necessary, that is,

this position was then there was a decision about lend-lease what kind of h-, well, everyone perceives it as a massive non-supply of weapons, but rather it was at that time more of a message that america will buy ukraine really before the decision of the results of this war to say that everyone in the united states united around the victory of ukraine, so it was an exaggeration, i will definitely say that everyone united to ensure that russia was defeated . uh, let's tell you the methods of how to do it, they differ, they all remain open, it is stated that i think it was done by mistake, uh, it is stated that the usa will avoid any involvement there or the killing of americans on the territory of ukraine, which, by the way, already

it didn't happen in the same way, they didn't kill the americans and the collision of the sign, so here are the statements of congresswoman kesenger and parallel statements in britain in the parliament that any attempts at nuclear blackmail due to provocations at the zaporizhia nuclear plant will be direct the disappearance of knowing, that is, the idea of ​​some kind of rethinking, and i think that the process of providing weapons by the united states will definitely not be interrupted, moreover, i drew your attention now, it is scary 775 million for 19 yes, for the stay of joe biden in the white house, and there is such positions are additional, mm, exactly, ammunition for the himers system and up to 155-th to 155-th caliber for howitzers and there uh, yes, please note that there is no uh, any specification, what exactly, that is, i think that

well, uh, olenivka this is a crime, he seriously pushed the usa to i really hope new types of rebirth, everyone is very sad, we hope valery chaly, the extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the usa was with us in 15-19 years thank you for the very poor implementation of the conversation and now we are joined by the minister of infrastructure in 2016-2019 diplomats and politicians and servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine volodymyr omelyan good day to you, mr. volodymyr volodymyr, please go to the diplomat actually the former at least uh ask we just put it the same guys carried it to discuss this uh ambassador is not an ambassador but diplomats russian if you that's what you can call it in austria. mikhail ulyanov wrote on his twitter that all ukrainians must be exterminated peacefully no mercy to

the ukrainian population and no pity for the ukrainian population even he didn't say well the population will be the population yes, this is this, this, this is diplomatic, why did he write it? it happens by chance that you are on your nerves, on your emotions, for you to think that. well, in fact, now all russian officials are trying to curry favor with putin and against the background of this disaster that putin has caused his own the state , they want to show him their own distance, as we see it, for example, not only this pathetic diplomat, but yesterday or the day before yesterday, there was a big meeting between the head of the central election committee of russia and putin. where is the old woman there, too? proved how war is truer in their interpretation, the special operation is the right step and that putin is well done and in general, everything is fine with this diplomat, i am waiting for the reaction of the official factors of austria. i believe that on the basis of this brutal

appeal, he should be declared persona non grata in austria, and so should i it is interesting to see the reaction of international organizations, because as far as i understand, he is the representative of russia at the actual individual organizations of the un and also a number of other international structures located in vienna and they must deprive him of his accreditation, if this is not done, then we must make appropriate consequences regarding the leadership of austria and, accordingly, regarding cooperation with the un, although it seems to me that no less morally, we have already made all the conclusions regarding the organization of the united nations a long time ago now they are asking you as a member of the armed forces of ukraine, what is the current operational situation where you are, from what you can tell, and i cannot comment on it. unfortunately, this is only a function the south and the general staff, but in general the situation is tense and we definitely

do not need to relax or celebrate the victory in us, like all civilians, we are pleased with the work of our armed forces in the crimea and in the south of ukraine and in the east, but we must remember that we have losses every day, in particular , this applies to my battalion. where do i have to serve because eh eternal glory was burned in heroes and we must unite all efforts of those in the front and those in the rear in order to win this terrible war sir volodymyr, we are talking about the method about ulyanov, who says that ukrainians must be dealt with and simply destroyed, shoigu said that he is terribly worried if the european union forbids russians from traveling in europe, because they say that this is a restriction of their rights, and this is actually just such a manifestation of discrimination nazi politics uh,

what is nazism so upset about, by the way, the last name of this diplomat was ulyanov, correctly, symbolically, the continuation of the tradition of the founder of the october revolution, another bloody murderer of russian history. well, maybe he is this was not necessarily inspired by putin's instructions , uh, regarding the show-gu statement, it is natural. and as paradoxical as it sounds, it is the personal dimension of the sanctions, the ban on using western goods, that annoys russians the most, and if, in the abstract , several billions or a yacht are taken from someone, or an individual me is prohibited a person has access to the european union and the countries of any nato is one story, but when the kremlin suddenly realizes that all their wives, children, relatives, mistresses will not be able to even

travel with fake passports in europe, in monaco, in it, in london , then the genre begins in them. because if there were no human factor, he is always present in the life of any, even a dictator, he still hears people who are his relatives every god's day, and he understands that they will all rage because of this situation and because he was let off by berega as berega became famous in front of him, all the others are in the context of the sanctions of the european union abstractly prohibited export import is one thing and when it is personal to their family members to completely close the entry even and falsified documents is definitely a blow and i really hope that on august 31, when the highest bodies of the european union will meet, the decision will be approved positively in this vein and all russians will be banned from entering the european union and, accordingly, also in the future to the northern countries what's more, if there are russians who, as they say or claim, are not fighting

putin's successive regime, they can always apply for political asylum , they just have to show a video or a photo before that evidence of dropping under some russian clothes there, blowing up a russian plane and transferring funds to the armed forces of ukraine, go for it. honestly, well, i think it's a good idea, in the meantime , i'll ask the same thing. addressed in russian to the people of lviv and kyiv and said that those who are against the son of shurma, the cool new tax reform, let them go to kharkiv for a saltivka, spend the night there with shelling, look at the children who died there and so on and then they will tell you how the tax system should be reformed, and i actually like the person who is in the armed forces of ukraine now, and

i think that you have every right to comment on such things as the lack of reforms on reforms in a country that is at war, are they important? even now, not about the tax reform. i wanted to ask about the fact that we were very happy when two candidates were elected to the supreme council of justice, one of them was recognized as virtuous, there is no doubt at all about his reputation, this is about roman maselko now we are talking and mr. moroz was also elected there. but after that we saw how mr. lukyanov, who also has such a certain background, was tried and tested, although this appointment was by mr. zelenskyi, but there are certain, well , big ones in fact well, the center for combating corruption simply calls him a protégé of the judicial mafia. accordingly, there is a certain risk. what , for example, is the supreme council of justice, on which great hopes are placed not only by

ukraine , i think, but also by western partners? they have appointed 11 candidates who can decide in the end whether this reform of the judges will happen or not. what do you think, relatively speaking, as military servicemen and politicians, you know. once a stalerant said very nicely about the bourbons who returned to power that they did not understand anything and did not learn anything unfortunately, the government repeats classic mistakes, on the one hand, it demonstrates openness and a desire for change, appointing apparently very positive characters through its sweat, and on the other hand, with its own hands, but through other sources appoints absolutely unworthy people whose integrity is under great doubt no less and this means only that the government is not going to change reforms are urgently needed in the judiciary and

the rule of law and in the same economy that at least the military got their salaries on time and the defense order had little funding the primary need of the army that we could defend ourselves qualitatively without modern reform and choosing the right economic model, there will be no changes and people will flee from ukraine not only because of the war but because of the lack of a future i would like for ukrainians to return to ukraine, especially after the victory, for this to happen, the authorities must demonstrate openness to what they want to do, what will be the result in 10 years, and start implementing this result from the first day of its announcement, i do not see this. i carefully read what was declared by mr. shurma who is now running for prime minister, the new idea is interesting. i also fully support the simplification and minimization of the entire tax system of ukraine, but in fact what he proposes in individual elements

is weakly correlated with the policy of our partners, which means that we immediately receive their criticism and lack of support in those areas that are sensitive for us, and other points are actually not implemented at all because it is easy what do you want to do. and what is the answer regarding fop, for example, they should disappear as a class okay and how will you regulate the current employment there, the employment of people, that is why there are many ideas, they are interesting from the point of view of liberalism. but it seems to me that the classic story will be that we will first wave a piece of paper and then we will do absolutely the opposite, thank you, thank you, the policy of the minister of infrastructure of ukraine in 2016-2019, and now the military service of the armed forces of ukraine was in touch with us, and now we are summing up our third hour of a marathon conversation with oleg katko, the editor-in-chief of defense express, we are talking about weapons and about what is happening at the front,

we congratulate you good afternoon, thank you for the invitation, so actually there is information that it seems that ukrainian pilots are already training on the tenth attack aircraft. have you heard about this, what does it mean? well, there is such information, but it is not confirmed by officials, that is, moreover, i met later that some uh, not even specialized simulators, and there is another aspect of the a-10 as an attack aircraft in those conditions, which is probably not the best option in terms of strengthening armed forces forces of ukraine. so, this is due to the fact that this attack aircraft is not capable of air combat, at the same time, its extremely important features of the importance of the same, for example, tanks, they were extremely important, for example , especially at the very beginning of the war when

they simply went out in columns and 10 for attack aircraft - this is just otaka, that is a textbook target, and well, everything is clear now, in my opinion, if we need to invest efforts in training, then exclusively on multi-functional fighters, because they really have a much wider functionality in the first place, that is, if we if we say sturmolenko, then it is designed exclusively for launching strikes against all-terrain targets, and even more so at a shallow depth. that is, it is a machine for direct air support of ground units, that is, it is impossible to launch a ship from it there launch a missile, launch a cruise missile, conduct an air battle, so when we go, for example, talk about f16 and then they can, uh, introduce a simple air blockade on our stores of ground units, strike no less effectively against ground objects and are much more multifunctional than exclusively

specialized aircraft of type a 10 despite all their extremely important features, this is a machine that has to interact with other aircraft. to create a reliable and purposeful force for offensive operations, so i would like to understand whether we have, or is it possible with the weapons that we still maintain, there will be this reliable and purposeful force for offensive operations. after there is complete information about the forces and capabilities of both the armed forces of ukraine and the enemy of the russian federation. taking into account the fact that all the information in the country is probably held by 10 people, it is possible to say exactly how it is will probably not be able to, well, with a high degree

of probability, almost no one will be able to, at the same time, the kind of help that we receive constantly, that is, we just have to remember that literally yesterday, a huge aid package was allocated, which, by the way, is already the third aid package in this month alone, and there already only for this month we have already received 2 billion dollars of weapons on the field, which is ours, considering everything. we are talking about the fact that we will be helped to create our capabilities, that is, for example, if you take it that way, it is constantly announced that the transfer against harm radar missiles - it is extremely interesting because it was announced that they are transferred before this, they simply hid under the name anti -radar missile at best, secondly, an extremely interesting feature is that they also transfer more 105-millimeter artillery to us, which is much more mobile well, it is much more mobile than 155 mm although it has a shorter range, at the same time scan eagle drones are transferred to it, that is,

such a reconnaissance strike complex is created immediately, the third aspect is there, in addition to additional ones, of course ammunition for the highmars and the javelin anti-tank missile system, there are also such things as the guided missile complex tov, which until now we have not received in principle, and in fact this is an extremely interesting supply because, well, we do not have a certain shortage there, especially in anti-tank missile systems, but the fact is that this the anti-tank missile system is one of the most common in the us army, it is included in a large number of machines that are used in the us, for example, a machine like the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, in addition, it is standardly installed in the same humby suvs, that is, if that is the case, it is simple to take the fact of delivery, it is possible, it actually has an assumption, but i would like it to be a certain preparation of the infrastructure to receive more

powerful weapons, to which exactly that is integrated, that is, the training of the operators of the creation already on the spot of stockpiling these missiles for further use and so that when, for example ukraine began to receive already heavy equipment for it, well, there were already ammunition on the ground directly , but these anti-e-e radar and e-arms missiles have already appeared. this is one with him, literally the ministry of defense but where is it attached to the mig-29? so , whether there is a solution or not, i did not see a single move with harom. under the wing and on the 29th, the only thing is that during the briefing in the pentagon, the representative of the entire defense information department said that our engineers, our designers, developers, they integrated exactly the agm-88 harm into the mig

-29 fighter, if only there was a direct language at all, then there was the phrase, mig aircraft. that is, there is still an opportunity for him to do that hmmm, it's simple the person who said she used the same hm in general this is a household term because in the west quite often all soviet aircraft in combat are called prostomics and there, in my opinion, it is the fastest of all. to any other ukrainian plane. that is, there is a su-27 or a su-24. and in general, kw is punished there. our experts themselves suggested how they would do it. the americans looked, well, it’s possible, and after that they handed over the missile, that is, the initiative came from exactly our specialists and who were able to prove that it was implemented. and we must remember that no one

has ever done this in principle and i even give and missed how it was exactly done with no er and in fact it opens an important way that maybe there are er -e technical solutions for the integration of other western missile weapons to our aircraft. and this, in general, can simply turn the situation around in the sky and later on the ground. with air missiles, let's say american -made, they surpass russian analogues by more than that. that is, the situation there, unfortunately, is not very complicated. the pilots and the command of his air force say the same thing, that is, the weapons used by our air and air fighters are inferior to russian

missiles . but if, for example, conditionally. if you know, for example, the way to integrate an air-to-air missile of the aim 120 class, especially in the most modern version d, then it has a flight range of up to 180 km. well, almost twice as much as the missile of the russian federation, which they use, moreover, this missile works with the principle of firing and forgetting. that is, you simply launch the pilots and you can immediately move away from it, and this is extremely important. in such a situation, simply our vot mig-29 and our su- 27 begin to cover all the so-called vks from the russian federation simply on the basis of class and technical superiority, destroying them at ranges that are simply physically unattainable pressure for the enemy and after that they will be caught simply gaining superiority in the air it will be much easier to act on the ground and for understanding

. it’s just a difference in times, because hmm, the entire aviation of the russian federation will be extremely limited in its actions , in principle, if not simply destroyed, but it just warms my soul so much when i imagine it. thank you, mr. oleg oleg katkovlov, the editor of defense express, gave us a small lecture as always on the most modern weapons that we hope for from the allies and which you can already see as a sledgehammer when he heard that missiles are being provided to ukraine again americans, he already said to exterminate everyone as a population in ulyana , well, you can see something from lenin. ulyanuv hitler was lunatic lenin this would

have been a class lenin had children volodya ulyanov anecdote of hope with andrii seychuk what is this thank you for being with us and thank you for staying with us because just now there will be news the latest news from iryna koval thank you colleagues literally in a moment about the most relevant events at this time the 17th in ukraine news time on the espresso tv channel welcome to the studio iryna koval and to
