meet ukrainian defense needs in the long term. battlefields of the country one by one announced during the rammstein meeting from norwegian warehouses will be 160 help fire missiles launch pads and guidance blocks are already on their way to ukraine, as well as night vision devices. germany has reached its limit in the supply of the armed forces from the bundessphere warehouses, minister of defense lambrecht stated the day before, but to help defend ukraine , germany continues to share, among other things, winter clothing for the military and jointly with the netherlands. learn to detect and defuse mines, we will provide not only training, but also the equipment urgently needed by ukraine to fight against these terrible weapons, namely mines and improvised explosive devices ukraine announced its request publicly even before the meeting of the

anti-aircraft anti-missile defense system in order to close the sky from enemy attacks, drones of various configurations so that the army could fight remotely , so to speak, the long-range artillery, which finishes at a distance of more than 80 km, as the availability now with the ukrainian military high march and, accordingly, allows to hit targets deep in the rear of the enemy. however, the partners did not announce the provision of such. it was zoryana stepanenko from the american military air base in germany in germany, where the meeting in the rammstein format has been going on, the expert of the center for the study of conversion and disarmament of the army, mykhailo samus, is joining the broadcast. congratulations. how would you summarize the results of rammstein 5, first of all , that rammstein continues. this format confirms its effectiveness precisely from the point of view of the coordination of the

efforts of our allies, partners, friends, and the main thing here is just rammstein in the rammstein format - it's efficiency, e.e. coordination just in order to they were duplicating, there was no proper allocation of resources, and there was no such situation when chaos or inconsistency was created in ukrainian units when various types of military equipment were supplied without proper coordination within the framework of ramstein at the level of 50 - you countries well, it is known that kyiv is asking for long-range missiles with a range of 300 km or about 300 km. please tell me. well, do you see any signs that the allies are ready to give ukraine these weapons? of course , allies who are ready to give these weapons when this weapon

will appear. i think we will see, and i think that our enemy will also see and feel it for himself. i have no doubt that he will see when it appears, but the question of when, well, why is it dragged because yesterday on this broadcast, we also spoke with experts and some of they talked about the fact that today's rammstein will be like this well, they will draw conclusions that if ukraine receives this weapon, then everything is fine, if it does not receive it, it means that the allies support it, and they want ukraine to resist after all. but maybe they do not seek a quick victory there, they are afraid for some reason, they may be afraid not to quickly destroy russia, because this could lead to some more serious consequences for them, and therefore they are not in a hurry to give such weapons, i absolutely do not agree with such and such wording, since the transfer of 300 km missiles to ukraine by a-a will

absolutely not lead to to the destruction of russia, unfortunately , so far we are talking about the turning point of the situation at the front, which is happening now, and it is happening, including at the expense of our friends, partners, allies, who have given us this weapons and thanks to this help in our armed forces. our heroes can do what they are doing now, we will not go into details. but recently, an article was published by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, general luzhny, in which he is very clearly and correctly, a-a focused attention on the fact that the essence is not er-e in specific weapons systems, the essence of the capabilities in english, which i have made public , that is, it is about the fact that in the country a-a, capabilities are needed in order to inflict strikes eh not only on eh those eh points eh and

weapons of that eh personnel located in the occupied territories and obviously also on the territory of russia, this is clearly stated in this article. and this article means which was published the day before rammstein means that this article is a signal to our allies and a signal to the world community. and it means that the command of the armed forces clearly understands what the armed forces need. i am sure that these requests were processed through the ministry of defense and passed on to our allies and i i'm sure it's these i think that the issue has already been resolved. because the information that is published says that we are provided with all the possible equipment that our allies have. what is not published, for example, some information, is not because it is not transmitted , but because of not giving this information to the enemies, as journalists, i understand, they want everything to be

published. that everything was revealed is very interesting to announce on the air, but believe me, russian intelligence would like very much to get this information or the transferred missiles where they are coordinates, how to destroy them. therefore, it depends on whether they publish or not. the crimean bridge is not easy to stand for longer. well, you just said that the turning point in the war has come. well, it was possible for this turning point to come. it was possible to give these weapons faster. because all this time in fact, the ukrainian military complains that there is a lack of artillery, and even you mentioned this article as a joke, even he said about it there that there is a lack of artillery, including artillery, our problem is that the ukrainian armed forces until february 24 were armed with soviet equipment, no matter how we say it, in recent months, they began to

supply anti-tank missile systems and manpads, stinger, in the last months, in november around last year, until now, we actually had soviet weapons and rearmament on nato nato weapons, in fact, of course, it was discussed, but for him, for example, i believe that at the end of last year, our allies were not ready to supply us with these weapons en masse, in principle , yes, yes, there are even reasons to talk about it there was no therefore, since february 24, the transition of the ukrainian army to the armament of nato countries - nato standards, including artillery, that is, the soviet artillery is ending its life, the artillery is approaching the ukrainian army, but it must be understood that our allies were not ready for war they were prepared for the war worse than us , that is, we withstood the first blow ah, i doubt

that any nato country could nato could withstand such blows that ukraine withstood on february 24 well, maybe in the united states the only country which should be able to cope with everything, and therefore, of course, there are few weapons, of course, russia has several times more weapons than the same artillery systems, but the good news is that our allies supply, supply us with these weapons, and these weapons are arriving at the maximum possible pace, many criticize germany, but i'm sorry, germany simply does not physically have these weapons, that is, there was a publication recently, as if scholzem wanted to transfer tanks to us, and then there is just a clarification, that is, there is a german company that costs one and a half billion dollars will be produced by leopard-2 a7 tanks, the first of these tanks will arrive in 3 years, but i do not think that we need to occupy the leopard-2 a7 from the

perspective of receiving in three years after three years we can produce a-a tanks of the nato standard we have in ukraine, the armored tank industry is the worst in germany, in fact, that is why there is a lot of such pessimistic information in the press, which is often manipulated, that is, germany is giving everything it can in order to release 100 tanks to the german industry for one and a half billion dollars. well and i doubt that this will be the right decision , in fact, there was news that shultz allegedly refused to give tanks. well, i will return to this tank once again . which you mentioned. here he specifically writes about the fact that even under the condition of the deoccupation of crimea , everything will be fine for a while, and ukraine will meet all the same, may meet with russian aggression.

that is, it will simply be a delayed aggression, and what he was saying. well, now we have to do something think like this warn, please tell me, do you see any signs of what they are thinking about this now, that it is a hard worker who thinks so long ahead, and among our allies, among the ukrainian allies, they are not thinking about it yet. i remember the last meeting, and there was a clearly clear statement, and ukraine must win, russia must lose. if we start to simulate the situation, then what is the victory of ukraine, what is the defeat of russia, in fact, the defeat of russia is, first of all, the destruction of the putin regime, if the putin regime is destroyed, processes will begin that i am sure will lead to the transformation of russia into something else, we can now fantasize whether it will be a few authoritarian states, a few democratic ones, or it will be dark times for russia and this country

will be really dangerous for itself and for the entire world community it will depend, including on ukraine. i assure you that everyone clearly understands what it is all about and where this war should end. of course, we officially say that our tasks are ah, the cordo of the 91st year, well, ukraine cannot claim otherwise but in fact, our goal is the destruction of putin's regime, otherwise we will not be able to maintain a stable world. well, we will not be able to maintain a stable balance under the condition of the existence of such an anti-civilized project that is now in which the kremlin has simply turned and putin's regime, before today's news, the general staff announced that a large-scale offensive operation by ukrainian forces had begun in the kharkiv region and reported that during the 48 hours of the offensive, the ukrainian army broke through to a depth of 50 km

for people who are not related to the military, to the army, this is a high pace, it is very high. yes, we did not ask just a few minutes ago. and would it be possible faster if we had more western weapons? well, my answer is that it is a phenomenal pace and in fact here the main thing is not even time and pace here eh what was clear here all the movements here all the tactical movements they are carried out as part of the operation this operation has its own tasks that we fortunately do not know about and these tasks do not consist in capturing or release some e-e bridgehead, district or settlement, others, for example, cutting off logistics and supplies and blocking the group located in the raisin area, that is, in fact, now we are talking about the

russian group located in the raisin area, which has been waiting for several months for orders to attack to slavyansky, they can find themselves surrounded by the here is the task and here in the principle of topics, of course, it is of great importance because it is the sooner all this will be done, it is obvious that this is a surprise for the enemy, although in fact, it is very, very difficult to somehow achieve this effect of surprise in the conditions when a large-scale war has been going on for six months, but in the ukrainian army it was possible, fortunately, and now it is clear that the enemy is in shock, the enemy does not know, in panivka , he does not know what to do act, they run away, they seem to be captured, and that's why the pace is just very, very effective, i would say so today, there was a message from and the direction and the south-buzky, you are

now trying to make some predictions about how it can develop further of course, i can counterattack once again, all tactical actions are carried out within the framework of the operation, the operation is planned not so that, in principle, the territory will be liberated, but so that success in one operation will give us the opportunity to create conditions for conducting other operations, and if these operations that we are currently seeing will be successful, then we will see a--a real turning point in the war, when the ukrainian army will really start dictating its conditions to russia, and so in uh, summarizing, and precisely for this, we need a lot of western weapons, if if we now achieve of course, russia will try to stop the ukrainian offensive, and here it is very important for us to get these capabilities - this is aviation, this

is missiles - this is high-precision artillery, this is the ability to reach the depth of the enemy's position and his communications command posts against air defense, the control system, and then everything will be fine, thank you very much for your comment, mykhailo, as a sports center for the study of the army, the conversion of disarmament, he was on radio liberty well, in kharkiv another explosion, the mayor of the city, igor terekhov, said that in the morning the russian forces hit the city with rocket launchers, two people were killed, five were injured, the next consequences of the shelling of kharkiv were filmed by the journalists of radio svoboda, i was just at home when i heard very loud noises, and i counted somewhere in the area of ​​10 here,

uh, and already when i went outside, i discovered what was happening here, it was very loud. i live a little further from here, in the area of ​​kilometers, and it felt like glass was flying because the windows and doors were shaking, uh, well , i was very scared, the animals were hiding under the bed, anxiety and fear for loved ones, that no one was hurt, here there is a house, there is no window, unfortunately, at first, you seem to know how far some of these paws are then nearby immediately and only after that sirena for the same one, well, we hid at home, and now we’re out, we ’re taking out the fragments. at first, the shock stood still, i thought, they ran with the cats, strong, number 194, more than

400 russian targets, ukraine hit the heimers launchers that it received from of the united states, this figure at the final briefing after the rammstein meeting was literally just announced by the american top general mark milley ukraine said he is conducting a fairly concentrated, this is literally a quote counteroffensive progress of the stand and deliberate, yes, the successes of the ukrainian army are evaluated by the american military leadership, the intentions to continue to help with weapons and ammunition training have been confirmed there however, readiness to provide long-range artillery, as we just discussed with the expert that in the case of a target at a distance of more than 80 km, no and one more important topic of today was announced - united states secretary of state anthony blinken came to kyiv. this is his second visit since the beginning of the russian invasion. as reported only by

itidpress, during a meeting with high-ranking ukrainian officials, blinken announced a new aid package worth more than 2 billion dollars for ukraine and 18 other european states that are most threatened by possible russian aggression , well, this is in addition to the aid previously announced by the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin. blinkin's visit was not announced ahead of time, it was to some extent a surprise, and it is already known that blinking met volodymyr zelenskyi in kyiv. well, in addition, he unexpectedly visited the okhmatdyt national specialized children's hospital, where he met with children who are being treated there, including due to severe injuries as a result of the russian bombings, blinkin was met by the famous dog blogger patron jack russell terrier in the lobby of the hospital, well, this is the mascot of the chernihiv pyrotechnics. i think that everyone knows him, now even the state secretary blinking has met. well, the visit of the state secretary

will be discussed further with us on the link political scientist volodymyr fesenko - my congratulations to you in honor of what are such distinguished guests, not in honor of what but rather, why is it really symbolic coincided with the visit of the us secretary of state to kyiv and today's conference of the rammstein coalition, all this, i think it is not accidental, is connected with each other, because now the final stage of the autumn military campaign is actually starting and it is necessary to clearly to determine what ukraine needs for the autumn counteroffensive and for the winter period of the war, the second topic is related to the war, the war is dragging on, and i think that it is necessary to determine now not only the urgent

urgent needs of ukraine, but also the strategy of supporting ukraine, the longest period and definitely for us, the economic support of the usa is important, especially on the eve of winter, and here there are specific topics, they are not reported, but i think they are being discussed . of gas, because the prices have risen just crazy thanks to russian actions. but at the same time, we need physical volumes of gas, and the united states can provide it . well, economic support for the winter period is also very, very important for us. well, i do not rule out that both sides can to some extent, let's say so discuss discuss issues on which i have some disagreements well, for example, the discussion about whether it is worth declaring russia a sponsor

of terrorism, the united states is not in a hurry to make such a decision yet . i think that blinky is more detailed and meaningful explain why it is so. this is more of a tactical decision. it's just that i think it's a matter of time when the usa will do it. but why right now they don't do it? it needs to be explained in more detail. it's delicate in terms of partnership. there were some public disputes, but the main thing is the coordination and definition of uh and the strategy of providing support to ukraine, it seems that they have already put an end to this issue and explained that they will not recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism because it is allegedly as they explained that it will harm the solution of some humanitarian issue, well, at least that was the explanation, it is an explanation for the public. and there is, well, more. let's say the real reasons from a tactical point

of view, at least the next month before the elections , while the negotiations on the exchange of uh, well , related to the release of two american citizens, this is one reason, purely urgent and tactical, more strategic, there are problematic issues related to the fact that if you enter, if you declare russia a sponsor of terrorism, then then it is necessary to go for stricter relations with the russians, in particular. in fact, this means freezing diplomatic relations, and the russians are also threatening to break diplomatic relations, since russia is a country with nuclear weapons. well, there are certain dangers here, after all, it is not just north korea or iran, there are risks here more, i think this is the main reason, but besides that, well, according to

american law, this can lead to certain sanctions against countries that cooperate with a country sponsoring terrorism, and here problems will arise in relations with european countries, so i think that such nuances are the main ones. but everything is just a matter of time, because russia can give new ghosts, unfortunately for such a decision . advertisements are a sponsor of terrorism, and on the other hand, well, increasing confrontation sooner or later will also lead to such the decision is only in my opinion only a matter of time, and if you could explain, literally just now we reported the latest news from the rammstein air base, where at least in the public communiqué it was not mentioned that ukraine will receive high-altitude missiles there high high range please tell me, they just don’t talk about it, is it really not yet time

to help so important, of course, we can only make assumptions, the first explanation, er, i think it is the main one, er, some supplies in ukraine er, they are simply not announced now well, literally today, too. we found out that in ukraine they are already supplying high-precision artillery projectiles. it was the usa that did not say anything about this before. but when it comes to heavy weapons, in particular, artillery and rocket launchers range, it is actually considered an offensive weapon. and i think that offensive weapons are now purely for tactical reasons, the usa and western countries simply do not inform us of the part of such weapons that are given to us, but they simply do not talk about it publicly in order not to create additional

lines of conflict in relations with russia and tell me, please. and how can you explain the fact that from russia, on the part of russia, somehow, well , communication does not change fundamentally, against the background of counteroffensives , for how many days we have been observing that in the south counteroffensives and in kharkiv oblast and it would seem that under such circumstances, well, i don’t know the kremlin, because maybe he hinted at negotiations or would have said let’s sit down at the table, well, if it’s called giving up , but we don’t see all this and are waiting to see if there is a problem or maybe not, then we have to understand putin. what do you do? if someone thinks that putin will give an order to retreat or say i was wrong, let's calm down, nothing like that will happen for putin, this is not acceptable, another thing de facto is the emergence of a situation when they will be forced to retreat, why are the west afraid to give us

let's say offensive weapons, especially in large volumes, they are afraid. if we go forward too quickly and too powerful, then it can lead to, well, let's say, an inadequate reaction of putin and to the escalation of the conflict, the expansion of the scale of the conflict . god forbid the use of weapons of mass impression . that's what the west fears and that's why they know slowly, slowly, so that, er, let us be here, but so that it is not so large-scale, not so visible, as possible, this is such an optimal tactic, so that, you know, putin's defeat does not look like that, er one-moment and so that it does not push him to take such excessive steps. this is how i explain the logic of the event to myself. but putin will not give what is called a hindrance and go to negotiations in the conditions when he loses, they want negotiations,

but they do not
