i tried to freeze it, because in recent years they were frozen. and then it will work. well, the most important thing is that we need, let's say, to have parity , to achieve goals in russia, using its calibers, it can bomb any city of ukraine with daggers. in two through the stump of a log , but they get any city, but they do not have any responsibility for it. we must develop our missile programs, borisfen peregrine thermal power plants may arrive and they may also be left without power, not because they ran out of money but because there are no power plants , that is, by the way, you mentioned the heat of the power plant yesterday, the russians launched 12 missiles from the caspian sea area, nine of them fortunately were shot down by the ukrainian air defense, but three rockets still reached ukraine, in particular in tes-5 in kharkiv oblast, president zelenskyy called

this event a terrorist attack and showed a video from the place of extinguishing the fire that arose as a result of the shelling, people were left without electricity, we can hear president zelenskyi even through the impenetrable darkness ukraine and the civilized world clearly see these acts of terrorism deliberate and cynical missile strikes on civilian critical infrastructure no military facilities blacked out in kharkiv and donetsk regions in zaporizhzhia dnipropetrovsk sumy partial power supply problems do you still think that we are one people do you still think that you can frighten us, break us, make us make concessions, you really didn't understand anything, you didn't understand who we are, what we are for, what we are talking about without gas or without you without you without light or without you without you without water

or without you without you without food or without you without you cold hunger darkness and thirst are not as scary and deadly for us as for you friendship and brotherhood but history will arrange everything and we will with gas, light, water and food and without you , someone wrote a good text and it sounds very good, eh, president zelenskyi, well, at least from his official page, eh, mr. igor, it’s clear, eastern front, southern front, crimea, the armed forces of ukraine will return sooner or later, eh ukrainian to the state and when we talk about the objects of this critical infrastructure, you already correctly said that they can fire these missiles anywhere in the world from the caspian sea from strategic bombers over belarus over tambov or

i don't know where they can send these weapons from and these missiles. according to you, what should we do in the future, apart from the restoration of these missile programs, which you said about the creation of your missile program, which made it impossible for us to repeat the situation when pi was sitting in the east of ukraine yesterday without light, well, look again, the missile program of the air defense system is the umbrella that can be in ukraine, let's say it must be in ukraine in order to be able to survive near this neighbor's palm tree, that's the first thing we still have to do. well, you know but recently there was a redistribution of funds in the parliament from the budget and the funds went to the road again, you understand. to be honest, this is what it looks like to me personally, it looks quite cynical. well, i understand that it is very good when the injured comrades

have time to get to the hospital on a good road, but it would be better the injured brother would not have been injured, it is true. it would be better if we had some kind of umbrella, so in this situation, what should we do? well, first of all, we should not make the mistakes of the past, well, that is, we clearly already understood everyone. all of ukraine understood. however, some people think that the production of tanks does not move the economy in such a way. how is production there? i don’t know. for me, it would be, as they say, there is a barrel of honey, but there is that spoonful of tar that happened recently. yes, that is, as for the text. the text is good, supreme commander . he voiced it. he voices it as a politician, as the supreme commander, not only for ukrainians, but as a signal to our western partners, what was putin calculating by bombing the infrastructure in ukraine in general, that the population will come out with votes, peace will be demanded at any price victory, he miscalculated, he

has not yet i understood, but he miscalculated because the population is no longer citizens, the civil society that went to war and this time is only making us worse. listen, well, i remember when there were fan shutdowns at the tailor shop they turned off the lights there. well, here, well, all of us, well, how can we be scared that the lights will go out, well, the lights will go out? well, we will not go out to demand measures at any cost, because you already understand the blood that was spilled after all those stories about bucha, about irpin and everything that happened in ukraine. ukrainians will no longer demand a measure of love at a price, they will only demand victory, and even if somewhere in the offices of power, someone somewhere here gets the idea that it is necessary to start negotiation processes, ukrainians will not understand this, they would not accept it, and most importantly, they will begin to tear down that office, you understand. therefore, there are very big risks

for any person who has such an opinion, we only count on victory, you saw how mothers in kyiv with strollers react to the alarm signal, everyone noticed it, well, the alarm, well, they looked . well, they looked and moved on walk, you understand , it came because you can’t ignore such things, but on the other hand, we have already been living in a war since 2014, well, some people have started living in a war since february 24, that is, a normal period, a psychologist says, 21 days. thank you for being such a story. thank you. mr. igor this was igor lapin, he is a specially appointed officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the eighth convocation. thank you for participating in the program. i would like to remind our viewers that we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on youtube and facebook platforms. if you are watching us

live now, put like this video so that it is trending on youtube well, don't forget to subscribe to our channels in social networks on twitter in telegram on instagram we are everywhere read our news on the espresso tv website we are on communication andrii illenko officer of the national guard freedom battalion from donetsk region p andriyu glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank you for joining our broadcast and thank you to defend us from the russian occupiers. the defeat of russia by recapturing almost the entire kharkiv region in the course of a rapid counteroffensive, such actions, as analysts say, will not end the war at the moment. it may drag on until 2023, but this special operation

turned the course of this war in its favor ukraine turned the course of the war do you agree with the statement that the course of this war has already been changed, what arguments do the russians still have in order to oppose the armed forces of ukraine well, i think that what has happened in the last week the counteroffensive in the east is the second turning point in the war, because the first turning point happened when the muscovites were fleeing from kiev, from chernihiv and sumy, and when their blitzkrieg failed. when it became clear that they had nothing will result in the plan of a quick seizure of ukraine, the overthrow of the government, not chaos, and so on. that is, it was the first turning point. and now the second turning point really took place, when russia suffered the biggest military defeat, well, since the times of probably the biggest defeats of the

soviet union in the second world war, it was the 41st-42nd year, that is, on such a scale and so humiliatingly, they have not been spanked, well, really since those times, and in my opinion, this is an even more important fracture than it was at the end of march, er, because this fracture shows that we cannot simply exhaust ourselves there the enemy is on the defensive standing on the defensive and we can do well grandiose offensive operations er repaint their huge compounds surround them drive them out of large territories er do it very quickly rapidly in the last two months, even more, starting from the end of june, the muscovites , well, they tried to advance in the donbass, and well , at the most, they advanced a few kilometers there

, that is, they could not penetrate our defenses, they suffered heavy losses, and when ukraine started a counteroffensive. literally in two days, 50-60-70 km were passed there, and this indicates that, in fact, this is a military feat and this is a huge psychological break, a huge psychological parliament. because the whole world saw that you can not just beat him, but you can driving with one's face on the floor is exactly what the ukrainian army is doing now. therefore, it is clear that the war will continue, it is unlikely that it will end there in the coming weeks, it is obvious that there is still a long enough period of serious struggle ahead, but what we are seeing now is, to a certain extent, irreversible processes. that is, these are irreversible processes, both

in terms of military and even i would say more in terms of political consequences, that is, inside muscovy itself, we see that a serious internal process of destabilization has already begun, and well, it was actually in muscovites are always like that. they are always ready to forgive any tyrant, any murderer on the throne, the only thing they can't forgive is the weakness of the group war, and that's why i think that now putin has big problems, and he's losing its legitimacy even within russia itself, well, obviously putin and his henchmen are still trying to initiate some kind of negotiations with ukraine, at least during the last two weeks, different versions of what negotiations can be, on

what terms, of course, the russians say that only exclusively on the terms of the russian federation at to this, president zelensky says that he is not ready to negotiate with russia now, we will hear from president zelensky, i have a feeling that we have relations with non- terrorists even with terrorists, it is possible communicate because they know what they want until i let go of this plane i need money, i will let people go, give me money and a plane, there is no confidence in the fact that they will tell you that they will do it i think that they will not, no one believes as they say, not handshakes of goods he is for what they did and not even for that and in what format he killed not according to the rules of war, now he was killed and he went to a peaceful person, raped, tortured and killed him, he

is not a terrorist, because if he did it for the sake of the stove, then he, well, who is it what is it that is not even a terrorist terrorist who do not know what they want and are ready to speak an ultimatum, that is why they have to come and first to another status become just an enemy so that we can open a diplomatic corridor with them and from our territories to the moment when they become terrorists, they must leave , leave by this time they must show the political will that they are ready and you return someone else 's land then we can talk at least about some corridors that open certain diplomatic steps by the way in the last few days there are different proposals to ukraine from

different sources regarding western sources, we still need to sit down at the negotiating table with the russian federation, the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksia reznikov, said that we can sit down at the negotiating table only when the troops of the russian federation withdraw to the borders that are as of august 24, 1991 , that is, the liberation of crimea, the withdrawal from the kherson region, the withdrawal from the zaporizhzhia region, in which the withdrawal from donetsk region, and actually the complete de-occupation of the territory of the ukrainian state, at the same time, the president zelenskyi, whom you just heard, gave another interview with cnn and cnn quotes zelenskyi. i know that some countries are pushing the direction of the minsk process. i want the world to recognize that one thing is a diplomatic solution and another minsk-2 minsk-3 minsk- minsk-5 minsk 10

- these are two different things, because minsk is an empty piece of paper, said zelensky, does he mean the minsk agreements? he added that an agreement between the two countries can be concluded after russia leaves ukrainian territory, and without clarifying what he means, actually, friends, you know that russian the federation has never adhered to any agreements with ukraine since the day of the restoration of ukrainian independence on august 24, 1991, er, dozens if not hundreds of agreements were concluded between ukraine and russia, all these agreements were set aside when russia needed it. we remember er- what was the agreement, the great agreement on the recognition of the territorial integrity of ukraine and the ukrainian state, that is, the borders of the ukrainian state from 1997, this great agreement was signed

by president kuchma and president yeltsin even then yeltsin told his oprichniks who flew to kyiv and held talks with the kuchma in the mariinsky palace. he said that you should wake up and think about ukraine every morning, but what did yeltsin mean then, did he think that putin would replace him literally in a few years and this putin would start a war , first covertly and then -e full-scale war against the ukrainian state, obviously yeltsin did not guess and did not know about this, although there were probably certain prerequisites for that, we do not know that russia absolutely uh-huhed all the agreements in the format of the budapest memorandum because they guaranteed us after the ukrainian state gave er nuclear weapons er russia

absolutely er calmly violated this agreement russia violates all the agreements it concluded with ukraine and denounces all agreements however, it is obviously obvious er and the reaction is indicative of these words of zelenskyi, which were uttered regarding the impossibility of negotiations with the russian federation, and dmitry medvedev, the deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation, says that no one zelenskyi said that he would not conduct dialogue on the topic of who issues ultimatums the current ultimatums are a children's warm-up before the demands of the future and he knows them, the total capitulation of the kiev regime on the conditions of russia well, this is the quote from medvedev, we are in touch again andriy illenko, an officer of the freedom battalion in the national guard of ukraine, a politician, currently a fighter of the freedom battalion, who located in

donetsk region, and andrei, i have already quoted both zelenskyi and medvedev regarding possible negotiations, medvedev says that, in fact, they are waiting for capitulation , as he says of the kyiv regime on the conditions of россии we have already seen putin's reaction, the historic reaction to the offensive in kharkiv region, the strike on civilian infrastructure, critical infrastructure objects in kharkiv region, what about you? in a language, which means the situation is as follows, that now the fucking muscovites, namely, that we have officially started shelling there of energy facilities, power plants, and so on, this is actually the tactics of the weak. that is, it means that

they lost completely on the battlefield of theirs. this agitated so-called second army of the world. well , it was guessed, let’s call it that and now it’s just a draping from ukrainian lands. and this is classic terrorism, and actually terrorism is always the tactics of the weak, so that is, those who actually cannot apply any conventional the means cannot be used, well actually there, military power in the classical sense, that is, they are added to terrorist methods, well, actually, the state is a terrorist , russia is a terrorist state and the only tactic that can be adequate in relation to terrorists it is to destroy the terrorists. well, of course, there are no negotiations with them. and that is, what is putin really counting on? he is probably counting on the fact that with these actions he will sow some kind of panic in ukrainian

society, that he will thus force the ukrainian authorities to enter into some negotiations and make some concessions, but the situation found so far and the ukrainians are now so united and have such a great fighting spirit that it is absolutely impossible in no case will there actually be this ukrainian offensive that will continue it is impossible to stop them and they can cause harm, unfortunately this is not news, they have done it before . military actions are offensive. and secondly, well, i’m definitely not going to give the advice of the general staff there. but

it seems to me that the power plants that are not only on the territory of ukraine are correct. well, they are on the territory of the russian federation, they are on the enveloped territories in the same crimea, in the same donetsk, luhansk, and so on, the border regions of russia are bordering ukraine, so i understand that we already have opportunities, maybe someone will start smoking soon at some facilities. well, i don't know, again , these are my thoughts i believe that it is necessary to give an adequate response to these actions, therefore, in any case, i am not. this will have a global impact on something. there may be difficult times. obviously, it will be a very difficult winter in ukraine, but we will persevere and win, and we have no other way, the bear quoted by me. already talked about the fact that we can arrange a doomsday there or something similar, threatening the ukrainians

if they enter the territory of the annexed crimea , as the commander of the united states of america in europe, general benhodges commented on the possibility of the russian federation using nuclear weapons, there is a risk of the kremlin using nuclear weapons in this situation but i think that this is unlikely, i do not think that putin or his closest advisers are determined to commit suicide. he added that the united states of america has responded in the event of russia's use of nuclear weapons because china, north korea and iran are watching this, mr. andriy, how likely is it that russia will use nuclear or chemical weapons against ukraine well, first of all, commenting on the words of this absolutely pathetic character medvedev, but judgment day, uh, he can arrange for himself there from some there is another hangover from which he will probably not get out. and if we talk about the possibility of using nuclear

weapons, well, of course, we cannot completely exclude such a possibility, because we really have dealing with terrorists with absolute maniacs, on the other hand, i also agree with the assessment of the american general, i consider it extremely unlikely. that is, completely, i say once again, the probability cannot be ruled out. a suicidal step , the answer to everything will be unambiguous, and the answer to the entire civilized world, but in any case, unfortunately, we live in such a time that we must be ready for absolutely everything, but i will also say that i am absolutely not a supporter of inflating some historical pretext, i also think that it is very unlikely and i am almost sure that it is an unreal

story german defense minister kristina lambrecht said in an interview with politiko that ukraine is currently protecting the security of europe in the fight against russia, quoting our values democracy freedom and security are protected in ukraine because we see the strategy of president putin to spread fear and also to threaten that he may go further, at the same time the minister of defense of germany stressed that her country should learn from the mistakes of past years and adopt a national security strategy that paid more attention to military needs, well , considering that the germans are now reviewing their national strategy, it is obvious that ukraine should also review the national security strategy and , in general, how much do you think the economy and all structures in ukraine, which are currently working as far as they should be transferred to the military rails in the conditions of wartime, it is also meant in terms of

how the population should prepare or continue to prepare for the war that remains in the rear and before preparing for a protracted war with the russian federation, certain steps and certain directions that must be developed in the state are obviously needed. well, i think that in fact there are many things, as practice actually shows, and these last ones are already there almost 7 months of a full-scale war, ukraine was able to readjust effectively enough to the wartime regime. of course, there are many aspects where it could have been done much better. and it seems to me that one of the main tools is struggle with collaborators struggle for the internal fifth column but it seems to me that the work here is simply not

over i believe that this work was carried out effectively enough in relation to the fact that there are changes in approaches in germany. well, you know, ah, well, on the one hand, it is good that they have finally realized the realities of certain things, but still, words are not enough today to me it seems that just words are not enough, and today we need actions, decisive actions, and actions that break the patterns that are still there. six months ago, no one could have imagined that there would be such actions, and precisely such actions are needed today in order to, including germany, i believe that this country of course, it is not there, they are in what is happening now. it is all on russia, but part of the responsibility, including on germany, is because it was germany that was the flagship of, well, let’s say the most

loyal to russia politicians in europe, exactly germany was the main economic partner of e.e. russia in europe, it was germany that carried out all these projects of the type of clinical flows and maximally sat on the gas needle, planted the whole of europe on the russian gas needle, pumped russia with money, accordingly, so i believe that germany bears a part, including moral responsibility for the fact that this monster has grown, today is not just words, not just statements, today we need deliveries of heavy equipment to ukraine today we need deliveries of the most modern weapons to ukraine today we need money to support the ukrainian economy to support the ukrainian army, that is, today are the real steps we expect from germany, just to say that i'm sorry, there was a mistake, that's all, we introduced the wrong policy there for 30 years, and

we wanted to marry, so we wanted to be friends with putin, we were friends with him, and here we suddenly realized that it was a mistake, well, mistakes must be corrected with actions, not words, that's why actions are what we are waiting for from germany, mr. andriy, have the events in kharkiv oblast affected the front in donetsk oblast, or are the shellings intensifying? are the russians currently looting as they say in their official press releases, or are they still in a state of shock, fleeing from our troops in the kharkiv region? well, they have a condition close to a juicy one. this is absolutely true, i do not think that they have the opportunity, let's say, to carry out some large-scale offensive actions, they tried to carry them out for the last two and a half months, and by and large nothing came out of them now, against the background of the fact that their entire northern flank collapsed completely, and there it was a complete failure, if we also

in fact, we don't even know what the maximum attacks of the ukrainian counterattack will be, because we don't want to run ahead and make some announcements, it's wrong . something large-scale will be imposed on us in the near future, i think it is a little realistic, the story is now an initiative, a strategic initiative on our side, perhaps on such a scale for the first time in this war, and this i say once again, it is extraordinary and moral and political breakthrough thank you, mr. andriy, for the conversation. this was andriy illenko, an officer of the freedom battalion of the national guard of ukraine, who is fighting in donetsk region for today, friends. i say goodbye until tomorrow . tomorrow we will be visiting volodymyr yelchenko, the former permanent representative of ukraine to

the united nations. russia's position on the world market and in world politics, whether or not putin will go to the g20 meeting, how putin is perceived after the defeat of russian troops in the kharkiv region which countries in the world can help us in this difficult time and join the rammstein group in a word, there are many, many questions that affect foreign policy, we will talk about it all again. i will remind you with volodymyr yechenko tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. and you can like this video if you watch our now on social networks follow our accounts in telegram on twitter in
