with the president of the united states of america, joseph biden, they discussed military and financial assistance, we heard zelensky and in the evening spoke with the president of the united states in biden, first of all , thanked him for the next package of defense support for our country, in particular, for the new heimers, of course, they discussed with president biden and the key aspects of our interaction outside in the field of defense, in particular, financial support , in particular, for a package of support in the amount of more than 12 billion dollars, they discussed political steps, cooperation international organizations, i was especially pleased to hear the words of president biden that our military inspires the whole world, our people inspire the whole world, and this is true. our victory in this war will show how much ukraine can give global strength, freedom, global strength of democracy.

zelenskyi mentions that they exist and are coming to ukraine, and they allow the ukrainian military to hit targets , in particular in crimea. the secretary of defense of the united states of america for the affairs of russia, ukraine and eurasia laura cooper, she reminded that crimea is ukrainian territory and the pentagon also stated that the united states of america considers it expedient to transfer soviet and not western tanks to ukraine, that is what the pentagon says that we are not against these heimers systems hit hmm the territory of the target in the territory of crimea, which belongs to ukraine, piskov immediately reacted to this phrase. he said that uh, this means that washington is somehow involved in that is happening in ukraine and they say that this is a war of the

russian federation against the united states of america. how do you interpret the fact that ukraine can use american weapons, in particular hymers, in order to return crimea home? well, first of all, article 51 of the un charter says that every country has the right to self-defense. in fact, we are primarily within the framework of international law, but of course there is also a constitution, a law on the defense of ukraine and internal law, we can do it, this is the first point, the second point is that there are indeed certain conditions for the use of american e-e weapons in relation to the russian and e-e russian goals, and above all, this means goals on the territory of the russian federation, because crimea is not the russian federation, only 10 friends and friends such as armenia a-a hmm belarus there north korea recognized crimea as russian of course, from the point of view of washington’s approach, in principle europeans, and

this is our territory, we have every right to use any weapon, the fact that the russians say that they are fighting here with nato, with the united states, that they are part of the conflict here, of course this is a delusion, but it has several aspects. well, first of all, the russians must admit that a country that does not exist with a nation that does not exist and an army that does not exist, which means that it has inflicted the biggest defeat on it in the last 50-70 years. accept and unconditionally. they are trying to show that they are fighting with opponents who are more powerful in their understanding. the second point is the internal mobilization that if we had not started this war, the nato bases would be in ukraine and then we would have already bombed the crows, which roughly speaking means this too the third and most important thing is important from the point of view of real weapons in general and new ones that

were provided to us before that e types of weapons, well, first of all , of course, we are talking about tanks, aviation, operational-tactical missiles, unfortunately, unlike the pentagon, unlike the american diplomats in the the head of the council is on quotes, he is afraid to provoke russia, therefore, it is necessary to give those weapons that will not give ukraine the opportunity to hit targets there in the depths of russian territory, in fact, this is a deterrent factor, but with regard to crimea, none there are no restrictions. this is absolutely normal. from the point of view of strategic calculations, i’m not talking about the point of view of legitimacy and moral, let’s say, the expediency of doing it, mr. oleksandr, on september 30, when a coven was held in the st. george’s hall of the kremlin with the participation of putin, and his murder actually took place what we were all waiting for volodymyr

zelenskyy signed an application together with the chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine and the prime minister of ukraine for accelerated membership in the north atlantic alliance on today, nine countries of eastern and central europe have declared that they support ukraine's accession to nato plus canada. why are other countries silent or very cautious about this now? in a state of conflict with this state and there are occupied territories for all arguments we have counterarguments because, for example, when germany became a member of nato in 1955, part of its territory was actually occupied by the dpr of that time. when we are told about some of the things that we are not so democratic, let's

look at some of the countries that exist now and they have questions about democracy. when the same greece and turkey were accepted there, in what state of democracy were they there, because you remember these black colonels and other things about incompatibility or incomplete compatibility. i think that what our armed forces have shown is the ability to destroy so the one who was perceived as potential adversaries are extremely powerful. i think this is a good assessment of our ability to actually be a contributor to european security, and by the way, we have yes and say by and large yes. the fact is that we reduce the possibility of russia to introduce aggression against other nato member states on the european konta and since there is definitely something to recover from this well, this is actually a defeat for russia. i want to be too optimistic

, but in a strategic perspective, this is how it is, and of course there are those countries that cannot overcome i would say that the psychological barriers , first of all, are the germans. let's say bellicose. if you can say that about the germans, they didn't supply us with a single cartridge. that is, it was crazy progress, crazy progress. 100 billion dollars is what germany is going to spend on its modernization of their armed forces, but there are certain nuances. well, for example, those who say, i don't like the fact that they treat russia in such a way that they have such a correct attitude towards belarus, in relation to which they have committed the greatest crimes, and with regard to the russians, this must definitely change in the future, this is unconditional decide yes, russia

is not going to win, but so far they are not saying that ukraine should win. and they are afraid of this escalation, and they are definitely directed at them, all of putin's nuclear games, whether it is posidon or there is some train of the 12th department of the ministry defense, i.e. all these things are messages from the owner, primarily to the germans, but for now, everything is going more or less normally. of course, we have hungary as a difficult partner, a neighbor who deserves to be told so, let them be taught, roughly speaking, or teach the people a lesson, of course, that they they act very badly as uh in relation to ukraine. yes, actually for other nato members, well, the most important thing that there are sympathizers of ukraine is the understanding that ukraine is an important weighting factor of european security, and i think that i have understood that in the concept of europe at peace

freedom and flourishing, it cannot be realized if ukraine is not part of this space of freedom, democracy and security. i would say that there should also be belarus, moldova and georgia, but let's say that for now it is less relevant, so we have time i don't believe in the quick entry of ukraine into nato, but it will be much faster than they think in berlin or in other capitals, the russian ambassador to the united states of america stated that there is a danger of a direct collision between russia and the west of the decision of the united states america sending more military aid to ukraine increases the danger of a direct military clash between russia and the west, antonov said. at the same time, you mentioned these things about this weapon that russia constantly announces and that this message is directed

at the germans, because the germans themselves once talked about this mega weapon, not in 1943 year in the wunderwaffe, what kind of mega weapon is there that can save hitler from defeat when we talk about 1943 - 2022, is it even correct to compare the situation in which hitler found himself then, who was already being beaten and hmm, but who also began to beat in the east and south of ukraine. well, you know these historical analogies, of course, they are very convenient, but i would, and we can talk about putin as about hitler, or he actually committed the entire list of those crimes that were in the nuremberg trial and later in international conventions of course in this sense there is, but i would say from the russian point of view that for him it means that the collapse

of the soviet union was the biggest political catastrophe, as he says and in his opinion, this weakness of the political elites of the soviets and there the same of the kdb itself in which he served. and this was the most important thing, that is, they must be powerful and tough. and that is exactly why we see this tightening of these nuts in the russian federation, especially under the influence even more after february 24 of this year, that is, he is preparing for the scenario, well, in fact, in 1991 let the cure, that is, in fact, the way in which the russian federation lost the first world war and then the revolutions began. yes, and then the government changed, and even more demons came. and even more than that, in fact, i think that this is playing on us hand, because they are simply preparing and trying to treat a certain disease, i am not there, but actually they will get something else, unlike in 17 there or 905 in

17, there are no powerful forces in the russian federation and they could lead this protest movement and offer some agenda well, if not some new ideology of communism or, i don’t know, capitalism, then at least something that could be organized, that is, the organization of the bolsheviks , roughly speaking, does not exist in russia, and therefore, most likely, everything will come apart at the seams, first of all regional and ethnic groups. well, today the most important tic-toker of the russian federation, e.p. kadyrov, was awarded the epaulettes of a colonel-general. imagine how the same hero girkin perceives this. by the way, this is also an interesting personality, the first minister of defense of the so-called dpr, yes, they wanted it so much ukrainian miners and combiners in independence, what they took and called to themselves uh-uh, that means this person, actually, this kind of things will happen,

most likely it will be conflicts on a regional -regional basis, and of course that is already certain there is no order based on the ethnic principle, and we saw in the same dagestan how they perceive this so -called partial mobilization, because there are white people who do not fight, they are not called to die for the fuhrer of russian peace. and there are all the others, and it seems to me it seems to me that it was a big mistake. well, because its complete and partial mobilization will also affect the russian economy, and most importantly, it will touch this plast population, you don't call it otherwise because they are not citizens, which was ready to rejoice in all these victories of the annexation of crimea, support the pseudo-formation of donetsk luhansk and now they have to pay for it with blood for this show and of course that these are different terms of the contract if you are on the sofa if

you are in the okopia of course what does it accelerate means the collapse of this system and most importantly i think that these are 1-2 successful operations in the ukrainian armed forces well, i think there are certain such very depressing news from our southern front. if it is possible to neutralize, destroy or sharpen and surrender a large group of russian troops, then in my opinion it will actually be the collapse of the russian armed forces forces, and in fact further they will simply not be able to conduct events, they will have to somehow or freeze the situation, and probably for this purpose they are going to recruit 300,000 eyes exclusively in order to keep what they took away from us, or they will have to leave at least, leaving at least crimea yes, that is, this is a sacred thing, so actually, i think that we are living in a very

interesting historical time. the rank of colonel-general, the following commercials appeared in the mass media about kadyrov's heroic sons, who are ready to go to war , and at the end of this video it is even suggested that kadyrov would like to become shoigu. in offices in the heat, and those who are ready to fuck themselves and even send their children to protect their homeland , so akhmat eli and adam taydrovy will show himself in battle, the one who sent his sons to war can not have peskov rogozin no patrushev only such people like ramzan ah matovychka dyr must float the army of russia only that's how we will win for victory akhmat sila that is, mr. oleksandr as far as

i understand, putin is already betting on kadyrov's hawk and already er shoigu and faltered as if in the form of those hawks who started this great war in in february 2022, we actually already ran out of steam, right, i understand, well, i don’t think that he is making a special bet on anyone, he is playing and we have seen it. by the way, and using our example, remember how lenin danylovych also played from the favorites, but in fact tested them and used them, of course putin is such a political monster who is cynical and will combine in order to stay in power because everyone is to blame, everyone is to blame for what went wrong, and not the other, he actually perceived ukraine as a non-existent state and e in fact, they were planning such an absolutely senseless er adventurous military operation and that too by the way,

the head of the foreign intelligence service by the way, there must have been a person who understood what kind of trouble russia was getting into - do you remember this meeting of the council of the national security of the russian federation, so i think that he is such a figure, he is an unacceptable figure for a large number of russians . i think that even in the north caucasus, he is not an acceptable figure, just now he is the favorite, he has these cutthroats, but actually, well, look , they are all in fact, they are cannon fodder, they are not , they do not have heavy weapons. they can destroy all of this very quickly . well, let's see. i think that now the chances are increasing that someone will shorten mr. putin's life. it seems to me that it is already clear what

is uh, hmm, they are heading for defeat, it is clear that they are, let's say, a laughing stock for the whole world and not only for ukrainians, and that's exactly why within these so-called hawks, perhaps such thoughts are already being heard, and another question is that it is difficult to organize other questions. what is certain, and in particular , those who sit in this is total mistrust of the kremlin horizontal as opposed to the ukrainians, by the way, and this is our strong point, that's why there ca n't be such a large-scale mirror, but the hawks who are there in putin's environment, they understand that he is leading the russian federation to disaster. strategies, but these seem to me to be such a small chance. more precisely, this chance has increased. especially against the background of these threats of the use of nuclear weapons, which will not be in favor of the russian

federation, a large number of explanations as moral although they are not guided by morality, but the most important thing is what is called in the plane of real politics, olexander, thank you for the conversation. this was oleksandr khahara, an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies . friends, if you are watching us now on youtube, please like it by e-mail can you become a sponsor of our youtube channel, we will be very grateful to you, i will say goodbye to you until tomorrow tomorrow we will be visiting major general of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy kryvonos, we will talk about the situation on e line front on the threat, we will hear the reaction to putin's threats and the word will be interesting, don't lose at 17:00

swim the way to our victory with armor, tank troops, the pride of the armed forces of ukraine, i congratulate you, olga, laziness, this is our traditional review of military operations in a week, well, everyone it is now known that our troops are advancing successfully in the kherson region, in addition, the offensive continues in the kharkiv region and in the luhansk region, we are waiting for new messages there, but for now, let's take a look at this is a brief overview of the events of the last few days , the map of the first-fourth combat operations in october, kherson region and kharkiv region are competing at the pace of liberation, the russians have lost any initiative on the entire front line, except for bachmut in kherson region and kharkiv region, the armed forces of ukraine are chasing them so fast that the enemy does not have time

to gain a foothold and build a line of defense at the end of september and in the first days of october, our artillery and missile troops significantly marched through the enemy headquarters, command posts, warehouses and bases, after that on october 1 the ukrainian army continued its counteroffensive to the south in several directions along the dnieper and the ingul river, and in a few days it initially succeeded to break through the defenses in the area of ​​the golden beam , after that the enemy still tried to restrain our troops in the area of ​​novoaleksandrivka, but already on october 3, the zsu were in dudchani, which had been for a long time a stronghold for the invaders, on october 4, our soldiers continued their movement along the dnieper from the exit to boryslav and kozatsky, which on the other side of the river , opposite novaya kakhovka, at the same time, another force defense group stormed the russian troops in the area of ​​the chkalovo magical and steppe. it was this strike that created a real threat for all the invaders who paid off to the north between ingulets and the dnieper,

realizing that the next cauldron was about to close the lid, the russians ran forward, leaving well- prepared positions in davydovo brod the great and mali oleksandrivka behind them, the front spread all over the ingul river up to the snow river, those parts of the russian troops that still remain in mykolaiv oblast from the right bank of the ingul river and to the south of the snow river may also not have time to retreat to kherson, which is 40 km from there, because the armed forces of ukraine went on a breakthrough even in one place in the direction of muzhikivka, under which the 108th guards airborne assault regiment was defeated, they approached kherson at a distance of up to 10 km. on the other hand, if the successful offensive on boryslav continues, then kherson itself will find itself in the great cauldron from which the russian fascists will flee as best they can through the broken antonov bridge, meanwhile, kharkiv region has already been liberated by 95%, the russians are holding on to only a

few villages in the extreme northeastern corner of the region, after the liberation of liman and borov, the armed forces continued their movement to the east and began the liberation of luhansk region. on october 4, our soldiers cut road kreminna svatove and continued the attack on kriminna from the south and on lysychansk from the side of the oil refinery in verkhokamyanka, in addition, they managed to turn their attack to the south completely having rejected the enemy from the disputed area, the invaders who seized the crime may soon find themselves in the situation in which our army was in april, the city will very soon be precisely on three sides and practically cut off from the logistical routes to the east of the borovian armed forces have already passed half the distance in the direction of the matchmaker, which may soon be in the operational encirclement from the south-west and the north, precisely from the north, the

kupyan group of the zsu is moving to cut the route from its matchmaker to russia, which so far is meeting the greatest resistance from the enemy, in particular at the end of september on at the beginning of october, the russians tried to counterattack the villages around kupyansk, petropavlivka, kurilivka and kivsharivka, however, the ukrainians destroyed most of the reinforcements and drove the enemy to the east to the pershotravnevoy line and kislivka. muscovites are still trying to stop the counteroffensive in the area of ​​arapivka and new tarasivka, but it seems that they are not will succeed with a simultaneous counteroffensive in several areas of the armed forces created such pressure that they made it impossible to transfer help to the zaga, which has critical points on the front, the russians have an acute shortage of experienced newly mobilized troops are not able to stop the victorious march of our soldiers after the fall of the matchmaker to the russians in the north of luhansk region. there will be only one railway connection with the russian federation, which will run through starobilsk, if

this umbilical cord is cut, the armed forces of ukraine will be able to advance much easier along the northern donets up to the eastern border. well , we have a sufficiently detailed map, uh, well, now let's talk more about the nuances of what is happening with ivan krychevsky. this is a military expert defense express and viktor tregubov - this is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine. greetings, friends. good day. let's start with kharkiv oblast. in fact, last time we talked about the fact that there they will be able to make a line of defense of the russians in fragments . the area of ​​svatova is criminalizing, let’s probably start with you, ivan. how do you assess whether the russians still have a chance to build some kind of defense line?

you know, we can now build such an assumption on the part of the russian army, since they are capable of resisting us in that area. let's say they don't look like that, they don't look so dismantled that they wouldn't be able to establish a more or less stable line of defense there and delay our advance. but on the other hand, there is a pleasant thing for us, there is a panic factor of such an army, which is being dispersed by russian soldiers who are starting to spread to the outside public that everything there is no problem with mounting, and as they say to us here , they still have to turn into two hundredths, but in general, this is primarily demoralizing, russian occupation troops can act at the summit and are in that region because now they are holding on ok, now they are still are they super or tsi- in this whole barrage of messages that they had there even in the telegram, and the telegrams that the russian occupiers themselves read well, but you still know. let's say that for a few

days and it is quite likely that those panic messages they will, let's say, collapse their morale no less than the well-aimed attacks of the armed forces of ukraine, and this is exactly what makes it easier for our troops to advance in that area. this is a psychological factor that discourages the russian occupiers in this case. it should not be underestimated. well, do they have for example, there is a chance for reinforcements in that area, are we fixing it in some way here ? of course, what should be included in the question of reinforcements if the climate is their idea that there will be another legion of bars, well, that is, there is another detachment recruited there during the time of the so-called hidden mobilization, then there will be support for them if you look at the situation from our point of view, or will it be there with a sufficiently trained army that will be able to resist there for a long time, which in my humble opinion will not be because you know there is such a good gas example that when the russians

transferred there in august four so-called legions of bars , recruited so-called cossacks who were undergoing some training there and reservists in peacetime, 5,000 people go - this is approximately a motorized rifle division. well you know, there is quite a significant living mass of the enemy well, but such an eye could not change the situation anywhere, in principle, it was not possible to show itself anywhere, therefore, on the one hand, the enemy always should never and should not rule out such scenarios that it is reinforcements that can rush to the russians there in the criminal case, they will not show themselves in any way, it will be another mass of russians who will be surrounded by operatives and then completely surrounded . the statement of the booth regarding the fact that they have already recruited and mobilized 200,000 people eh and eh it was about the fact that we, well, the minister of defense of russia said already

literally now we will try to deliver them to the front as soon as possible and eh more than that well, so disperse them between those units that are, well, that is, without forming anything, i understand the new, but just throwing it in there and you can see that exactly, well, that is, yesterday this statement was to a certain extent so propagandistic. in order to raise this fighting spirit, to say that now someone will come. personally a subjective opinion with which one may well disagree later p. viktor, as a person with practical experience in this field, unlike me, but there are two first two nuances, the first was yesterday at the general staff, well, in the morning meeting of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, there was such a fixation that the russians are pretending to the front of part of the siberian guards for well into the combat zone and the remains of some logistical shoulders of siberia and syria. well, it is very big.
