for russia has much less resources of all kinds, but its army is much more powerful and this is a very important moment and this cannot be played back and the use of tactical nuclear weapons will not improve the situation for putin the situation for putin is getting worse with every step when we talk about him personally i think what about him there may be different options, but i will not talk about which specific scenarios have not been chosen and not voiced, it is necessary that the usa and other allies absolutely clearly and clearly say their opponents in the kremlin, how serious and bad the situation is, and even more so the idea of ​​threatening nuclear weapons, he is really at a dead end, he needs to think about how to withdraw his forces from ukraine because it bleeds his army, his troops have already lost 3-4 times more personnel than seven months in ukraine than they lost in 9 years of the harsh war in afghanistan, the ceiling is near me. thank you

for your comments and thank you for your support of ukraine, we highly appreciate it, as well as your participation in the discussions of the kyiv security forum, and now i would like to invite ambassador jonathan to answer questions from our audience john i am very glad to see you and there are many things i would like to discuss with you if i may first of all let me start with what general petraeus said he mentioned the adviser to the president of the united states on national affairs of security, who said that we will not use salami-slicing tactics and distinguish between possible types of nuclear weapons that the russians can use in ukraine, what do you think, is biden's team doing enough to stop putin's investment, defeat him, whatever please on the nuclear issue and i think that

president biden's statement at the un on american television in the 60 minutes program, these were very powerful words, that is, if russia uses weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons, the consequences will be devastating and what general petros said, what jake sullivan said at the weekend it sounded just as powerfully on television, and this is the right message to send, and this brings me back to the beginning of your question: the administration will not carefully look into what types and types of nuclear weapons can be used by russia as a nuclear weapon, they did not use it, the answer will be very powerful and this is the same message that can influence the fact that putin will not dare to use nuclear weapons. i think that he is talking about this as a bluff in contrast to his specific intentions to use that the weapon that he really wants to use is tailored to what we can still do that supplies the united states to ukraine from an economic military point of view. these are really critical things for

the defense of ukraine, but i think that's our answer was only adequate and not as powerful as it should have been ukraine asked for the supply of many military systems and we should have put them in my opinion to put up a wall and in the necessary large amount general petros absolutely rightly said about the effect that spawners had on the landing site, they helped - first , to restrain the gradual crushing of the oil-prossian in donbas, which lasted for almost two months, almost from april, and we provided hummers that arrived on the battlefield sometime in june or at the beginning of july, their effect was immediately, the russian offensive stopped already at the beginning or middle of july, and soon ukraine began a successful counteroffensive, and heavy artillery played a very important role at that time, more than 100 155-caliber howitzers and more than 850 thousand shells were provided to them, and this really played

a decisive role on the battlefield in donbas, i completely agree, but we also know that the ukrainians asked for long-range artillery and hymers as early as the beginning of march, and i am sure that if we had placed these weapons earlier, then from the very beginning donbas would have failed, we simply saw the indecision of the administration to supply other weapons for which requests were received, because sometimes we supplied weapons after we said no, these are pro-himers and more long-range rzv, and some types of weapons we did not supply at all: airplanes, light tanks , and if we supplied them it facilitated ukraine's counteroffensive in the south and east, because we are all interested in

putin losing in ukraine, and the sooner he is defeated, the less chance he has to win. i want to buy time to win time to win time for him the blockade of energy supplies to europe had an effect on it, and will have the same effect if he adds to the embargo on the export of grain in the same way. he expects that there will be internal changes in the usa and european countries . so, in my opinion, our policy was adequate, it could be more powerful, but we know that russia would have been defeated even without our aid to ukraine, but with our aid we are only accelerating the end of russia, and if we had helped more, it would probably have happened earlier. twenties in indonesia at a ball that will be held in november, what do you think about this, this is a very

important meeting at the global level, in your opinion , if there will be a summit meeting between the president of the united states and the president of china, how will it affect the situation in ukraine and russia's war in ukraine, if it will have influence i believe in diplomatic relations and interaction, i would not mind if biden and isi met with ukraine would be a very important topic at such a summit, as well as china's bellicose policy in the north and the north china sea, and in particular regarding ivan and the chinese genocide, the igors could not be heard there, that is, the discussion of russia and ukraine would be on the agenda. as far as i understand, the chinese president may regret his cooperation from the meeting with putin in early february and the lengthy statement about broader cooperation between

russia and china everyone tried to distance themselves from putin's unacceptable behavior in ukraine, the attack on civilian infrastructure. and that's why we saw something similar to putin's apology to everyone at the summit a few weeks ago, and i think that china will be very careful and about helping to circumvent sanctions conclusion i think china has sent a message to russia not to use nuclear weapons and is somehow trying to steer putin in the right direction but that's all and we all noticed china's bellicose behavior towards and ivans during the chinese party conference earlier this week and last i think that putin's failure in ukraine disturbs xi and changed how china sees the situation in taiwan. he speaks very belligerently about taiwan,

but he sees the failure in ukraine with those american technologies that were around 25-30 years ago. and in the case of the ivans, everything is not like that at all, and now even what is militantly left of them is not there yet, probably and they will do it willingly. thank you, mr. ambassador, and the last question will be about russia, the ukrainian parliament passed statement of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on the recognition of the chechen republic of ichkeria as temporarily occupied by the russian federation and condemnation of the genocide of the chechen people the republic of ichkeria was occupied by russia in the mid-90s and the council condemned the genocide caused by russians against chechens so in your opinion , speaking from the point of view of the united states, how do you see the general political processes in russia

today, do you have a feeling that something could trigger the same processes that happened with the soviet union before it collapsed, what do you think about this is how you assess the internal situation in russia purely from a political point of view, please, there is no doubt that the authoritarian government of putin and his regime are very powerfully inhibiting the economy of the economy in the first 7-8 years of his rule putin saw a renaissance because oil and gas prices were rising at that time. but despite the rise in oil prices, the economy grew by one percent, and globally this means a recession . then everything only got worse because of the sanctions that were imposed after the annexation of crimea. and then after the beginning

of the hybrid war in donbas, this was additionally affected by more massive sanctions after the start of the war in ukraine in february, then we saw a spectacular defeat in the war against ukraine and we saw what is happening in russian society itself regarding their views on putin's regime in the last few months, as general petrous said, a lot of mobilized people fled the country, mobilization was just announced a few weeks ago, amen, much more than was mobilized, we saw criticism of mobilization from the top leadership, we saw what prigozhin, the head of the wagner committee, is doing, yes the so-called chef of putin, how does he criticize that he has the minister of defense, the chief of the general staff, gerasimov, and the war in ukraine, it is clear that the situation in russia is beginning to boil, the situation of tension is increasing over time, this will have an effect on how putin can conduct

the war, but it will also affect what the army does. it can collapse even if we do not help ukraine, we see these dangers, very few people thought that the union would collapse, even though we saw certain signs in it was the same in the 1980s. and today we see certain signs. of course, only the russians will build their future, but we can direct our policy in such a way as to defeat putin's aggressive policy in ukraine by strengthening what we are already doing. now in ukraine thank you john and i would like john to convey my congratulations to all our friends and colleagues in the patlantic council now i turn to mr. prime minister yatsenyuk arseniy what is happening today and what we are all feeling

now the massive attack on ukraine was expected a lot months and where ukraine still lacks air defense systems to defend itself, in your opinion, why have these obvious needs not been met for so long, please, it is up to the military to decide what more is needed for the ukrainian army and moments the ukrainian military budget was very underfunded in the sense of anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, on the other hand we need to be proactive and not reactive it was obvious that russia will release streams of soviet-style missiles and high-precision missiles over ukraine, that russia will

use various drones, in particular its iranian ones. so we have to be ready in advance, i agree with what general petrous said, ukraine needs an anti-aircraft and anti- missile defense system, and this, of course, is combined with the fact that ukraine desperately needs fighter jets i am sure that in the future our partners will have to make a decision regarding the supply of nato-type fighters to ukraine, such as the f16, because the ukrainian army is now fully compatible with nato standards, we need to switch from completely outdated soviet-style weapons to new modern equipment that helps us on the battlefield, i want to thank general petraeus and the services of the gerbst and in their person to the entire american

people and the us administration for the way you support the ukrainians, this is really impressive, this is a contribution to our and your security, again i am very grateful as for the air defense system, what worries me is that we are not worried about iran and north korea, the reasons are obvious, just imagine iran, which is under heavy sanctions of the free world, manufacture and supply russia with thousands of kamikaze drones, thousands. the same applies to north korea. just a few days ago, they were testing ballistic missiles range, if i'm not mistaken, 1200 miles that can

carry nuclear weapons, both of these countries are under sanctions, and despite this, they managed to produce such a deadly weapon, this is a signal for all free world, we have to realize that something is wrong with the sanctions regime, which is definitely not right. so, returning to anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems , we need them as soon as possible. i am sure that our partners and ukraine itself should speed up deliveries and production. internal capacity for this. thank you. you mentioned this agreement between iran and russia. it is very interesting and very dangerous for the world community. how much did this

equipment cost ? others' business that's why it's not only between russia and iran, it's worse, a new axis of evil has already emerged in the world. it's russia, iran, north korea. in addition, this war also has those who secretly support it . such a position of china will glue the family together after the meeting of the communist party, which is currently taking place. it is obvious that china is too belligerent in relation to the west. china is not on the right side, for example when it did not support the un resolution condemning the illegal referendum. the same applies to india,

we must take into account that we live in a completely different the world and the challenges that have now arisen must receive a clear answer, the new challenge is that it is possible that we will have a bipolar world in which we already live democracy against autocracy, for democracy there is no other way out than to win, because otherwise we will have unpredictable consequences for our planet in short, what scenarios do you see you and what do you think in general about the whole situation here in ukraine and about our fight against the russian aggressor please you just gave an answer on the global

agenda there is no other option but victory, victory for ukraine and the entire free world, i understand that this war is not exhaustion, some say that it will end in a few weeks or months, or such a scenario, but i feel that ukraine will win, the biggest threat that i see besides the military one, besides the battlefield, i still want to emphasize my gratitude to our military to those who help them that russia has connected new tools in this war, russia now aims to hit civilian targets , infrastructure targets, energy objects, and i expect that the goal of the russian federation is to cause humanitarian turn the catastrophe into energy utility facilities, the railway to undermine the basic opportunities

for life in ukraine, that is why we need the supply of more weapons of air defense systems. and what is finally necessary is the repair of the ukrainian energy infrastructure in relation to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under the complete control of russia. the un must do everything possible to to help ukraine demilitarize zayez recently published the results of a survey on whether ukrainians are ready to fight and the numbers are impressive. 70% of ukrainians are firmly convinced that we we will win and completely make territorial integrity this is what ukraine stands for my final message is this we will win we are ukraine and the whole free world thank you god save ukraine god save the united states and for the premiere

i would like to thank you all generals petraeus mr. posolherbstv for your thoughts for your remarks for your speeches it really is war and genocide what russia is doing in ukraine against ukrainians i fully support what mr. arseniy said today i was in the center of kyiv talking with friends and colleagues i saw people on the street in the air there are many greetings, but the main thing is the invincible spirit and faith that we will win, faith in victory and this is what we would like to convey to you today from kyiv thank you all thank you for joining the kyiv security forum watch this of the week in the program, collaborators, a list of miklushkas, the zaporizhian evil spirit, by name, for what positions did the traitors exchange

the homeland, glory to god, that the russian federation liberated who helped the hawk to steal ukrainian grain, our future is being negotiated rush in the pauses between the cottons, the connection of the zaporizhia region with the russian federation - russia's war against ukraine has clearly divided society into its own and those of others, now there are no half-tones, no double standards, there are patriots, and there are traitors, about the most despicable of those who will not be allowed even into hell, i tell in the project collaborators so that everyone knows the scoundrels in the face and they had no chance of rehabilitation after the war after our great victory zaporizhzhia region is simply teeming with collaborators, they are on my list or not the most from all regions of ukraine, starting with teachers in kindergartens who collect data for the occupiers

about the parents of the pupils, their place of service in the armed forces and their attitude to putin, ending with the leadership of the local university, which with broad smiles raised the tricolor under the walls of higher than ordinary precincts somewhere in the deep villages to the heads of district police departments, the most interesting thing is that the residents of zaporozhye, who are currently under occupation and are not going to put up with the self-proclaimed authorities and protégés of the kremlin, there is not enough time to tell about all of them, but about the most influential ones.

council and seemed to have gone away from big politics , and after the full-scale invasion, the kremlin appointed a pro-russian ex-deputy as the head of the occupation administration in the zaporizhzhia region among other things, the great achievements of balytsky in his pseudo-position are the theft of ukrainian grain , it is said that 650,000 tons of grain worth 200 million dollars were helped to steal by oleksandr saulenko, the self-proclaimed mayor of berdyansk, lutsenko, the so-called director of the berdyansk sea port, and fifty other people who signed permits for the export of bread and crew members 10 russian and syrian ships that exported their own grain and it seems that instead of 200 million dollars, all of them will be imprisoned for the rest of their miserable lives days, egypt, turkey and libya have already refused to accept the stolen grain. and the ships themselves, together with the goods, have been arrested. other achievements of gauleiter

are also worth noting on the air of the local tv channel. maksimov obukhov, as a kind of adviser to the prosecutor general of the terrorist lpr, organized the main department of the ministry of internal affairs near the zaporozhye region, taking into account the new trend when cars collaborators explode more and more often and bullets are caught on the go, i think that soon a black ribbon will appear on each of these photos. balitsky himself knows about such cases. it's no joke that babakh and the collaborator were already incarnated under his house and continue their rotten business. i sign the order of the central election commission commission of the zaporozhye region and the beginning and preparation of the referendum on the unification of the zaporozhye

region with the russian federation. this is not a montage, these are real aunties of which as many as 700 pieces were brought from muscovy to melitopol so that the holiday would be successful, maybe you are growing up on the screens about melitopol, the real mayor of the city was kidnapped by the russo-nazis on march 11. then the motoblock, well, during the occupation, she worked as a manager of a bearing plant belonging to balytskyi danylchenko zbaletskyi never hid their pro-russian views, it is unclear only one thing why so many years in our service delayed recognizing this couple as traitors. and for the arrival of russia. they

have long been waiting for the arrival of russia. they have long been growing their influence through the media and petty officials. they have arranged provocative events. here is their joint photo at the head of the immortal regiment parade in 2017. after 5 years, the collaborators obviously believed in own immortality is united with russia with российской федерация here and now forever. danylchenko also called on ukrainians to come out for protests, to accept, not to oppose the occupying forces, to learn to live in a new way, ordered to dismantle all memorial plaques to ukrainian soldiers, defenders who gave their lives for their homeland, but patriotic melitopolians wanted to sneeze on a collaborator during the day, protests at night, underground struggle, lubomirtse, ukraine, melitopol is ukraine, opel is ukraine, glory to ukraine glory to the heroes when the so-called

administrations cannot cope with the disobedient the orcs come as littorals and forcefully disperse the local most active; build russian peace in melitopol; galina danylchenko is helped at the administrative level by the same traitors yuriy onishchuk left the party of regions, then joined the opposition bloc, now engages in embezzlement in the field of housing and communal services in the position of the deputy head of the occupation of the city oleg bandurin, an anti-bloc activist before the russian invasion of the zaporizhzhia region managed the azov-sivasky national natural park after the first month on the job he was caught on a bribe, but managed to receive an award from the zaporizhia regional council. i managed to find a little more information about this collaborator, he himself was a native of russia from nizhny novgorod, studied at the moscow higher engineering and technical school of the ministry of internal affairs , he was sent to work in ukraine. he

was also in charge of the yalta city administration of the national fire service before the fire department, and after the occupation of crimea, he applied for the position of deputy mayor of the city of melitopol. he previously fought on the side of the occupiers, the next native of russia, the deputy pseudo-mayor of melitopol , oleksandr baribin, already has the experience of managing the city as the secretary of the city council, temporarily performed the duties of the mayor of melitopol in 2013, he is now 71 years old, our sources tell us that he is now dealing with the issue of communal property looting, and this is andrii shevchyk, another collaborator and a native of russia. in 2010, he was first elected as a deputy of the city council of energodar. in 2020 from the ministry of defense and also worked as the chief engineer of one of the units at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after the invasion, the

occupation forces used a shoemaker who knows the nuclear power plant and its workers well in the role of a useful idiot thank god that the russian federation freed and this brad will no longer collaborate with the invaders that he was even allowed to declare himself the head of the administration, but on may 22 in energodar, an explosion rang out, shevchyk and his bodyguard were injured, and uyalter ended up in the hospital after that in public no appeared and in the swamps they were so worried about this case that even the investigative committee of russia announced the beginning of an investigation into an attempt on a collaborator, or whether the orcs themselves decided to eliminate him. special services with local partisans is not known for sure, but a pleasant fact remains a pleasant fact. that's all for today. and if there are traitors in your city too, write to me at this e-mail address
