the dirty bomb is now uh, blowing up the hydroelectric power station , that is, it is changing its shape in one way or another to divert the attention of the world society, the leaders of our allies, from what is happening on the front line in the occupied territory, in this case it is very important what is happening in the kherson direction, where they are expected to uh, a serious defeat and that is why it is necessary to explain this situation to its citizens and try to explain the position in the international circle , that is why the propaganda of the prime minister is directing all the time, changing the vector in order to update the approaches so or else to enter from the fact that they do not know both their citizens and hmm e world means societies , leaders of our allies, the true state of affairs

around eh in the action groups of the russian federation troops well, i mean, first of all, the right-bank group where eh from a military point of view, hmm, it means that they will be defeated in the near future, the general said about the munich conference about zelensky’s speech on february 19, 2022 , when he spoke about the guarantees of e-e in accordance with the budapest memorandum and when ukraine i gave up my nuclear weapons . speaking without regard to the current situation before russia's war against ukraine and perceiving nuclear weapons as a weapon of deterrence, in your opinion, should ukraine still have nuclear weapons in the future? i can answer this in my opinion as

specialist e-e why because i commanded an anti-aircraft missile regiment from the anti-aircraft rocket brigade of the kievsky brigade, armed with divisions and all e structures, missiles with nuclear warheads were fired, i understand their power, their possibility , and i really want to say that at least tactical nuclear weapons would be our protection for the future, but hmm, our military-political leadership at that time did not cope with this situation, and we have to face the consequences of this now during the war and in the near future after the return of weapons, in my opinion , it is not advisable, although we we can clearly imagine that the possibilities of ukraine regarding the restoration of nuclear weapons are a matter of time in economic development and,

most importantly, in political will, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as in our social networks on youtube, we conduct survey, today we ask you about the following: does ukraine need nuclear weapons? there are three answer options: yes, no, and your option. please write in the comments under the e-e video you are currently watching on youtube. and don't forget to like the video you are currently watching. on facebook and on youtube, at the end of our conversation, mr. general, i would like to hear your comment on the statement of the deputy head of the administration of the president of the russian federation, serhiy kiriyenko, who says that russia will win the war, but for this it it should become a national one, let's hear a hot and

economic and that very psychological information war that is being waged against us, but for this we need it to be a people's war, so that every person feels their sense of belonging, so that every person has the opportunity to contribute to our common victory. general, russia wants to win this war in ukraine, there is no other way to win this war, otherwise the future of ukraine as an independent and free state is mine. can be questioned, does not want to russia will win the war and the whole civilized world against whom russia is actually trying to fight now according to you, what can prevent russia from winning the war in ukraine, which i would like to pay attention to first of all, this is a rather high-level political figure who publicly

declares that they are already conducting a special operation about which all this is formally put on uh-uh these clothes are a special operation and they are waging a war and this is what he talked about a lot, he says this firstly and secondly, it is such p-5-yet propaganda, thanks to which uh-uh, it means unfairly, the war was not provoked by the side of ukraine of our people, which was started by the russian federation and is now being led by them, they want to transform in the minds of their information-dependent citizens from russian propaganda to popular propaganda, that is, to explain the future defeat and the desire to put anyone and anyone and as much as you want to turn it into a popular one. therefore this is, in the history of 1812, the struggle where they are called so valid

patriot and it means that it is clear that the soviet union took part in the second world war, and now from this in order to to explain that everything is not going as it should be, that uh, it 's up to paraska, it's necessary to get out, they uh, all the time find some kind of ancestral techniques that they use to explain to their own people, to their citizens, and also try to explain uh, that means the world community regarding that that they are waging a just war and not so much with ukraine, again for the sake of propaganda, but with all nato countries, which does not correspond to reality, and there is help from it, but their composition does not fight, the sky is not closed.

we certainly thank you for the help of the allies, but this is still a war between ukraine and the aggressor country. thank you, mr. generals, for the conversation with your participation in our program. this was the retired lieutenant general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-2010, ihor romanenko said with him about the threats of the russian federation about the statement that ukraine can use the so-called dirty bomb during the russian-ukrainian war friends i remind you that we are working live on the espresso tv channel as well as on our social networks if you are us now watch on youtube you can like this video and also become a sponsor of our youtube channel under this video you can see the sponsor button, you can join the sponsorship, we will be very grateful to you, in addition, we are conducting a survey today, we are asking you about whether

ukraine needs nuclear weapons, so yes no, and your option, please vote at the end of the program , we will tally up the results of this vote. well, then we will be in touch with andriy ryzhenko, an expert at the center for defense strategies, a captain of the first rank deputy chief of staff of the navy of ukraine in 2004-2020. good day to andriy and good health to you. good day. thank you. today, mr. andriy, is 8 months into the large-scale russian invasion of ukraine. let's briefly sum up these 8 months, in which the way these eight months passed for ukraine, what did ukraine gain, what did it lose? well, what did the russian federation gain in this situation? well, it's really 8 months today, such a date is a little er, well, seriously, let's say yes, for us,

it's really in the history of modern ukraine. it's probably the most the most alarming and the most difficult in 8 months were well, first of all, i want to say that on february 24, the ground-breaking attack by the russian federation began, and there were such signs of an attack, they were because, in fact , on the borders of ukraine, russian troops were located, well, for almost the last year before that, with a short break, and then starting from october 21 , they were constantly there, there were numerical operators, numerical training, and in principle, everything indicated that they would not be near the borders just like that, but well, we remember those the discussions that were going on around er mean er will there be an attack or not and indeed many people said that

there will not be an attack and in principle i can say that this was the point because in principle it is really a-a for those who know life in ukraine and he knows what threats uh, what threats exactly to russia, ukraine will inflict, it was absurd to fall on ukraine, but in um, in putin's head, there was another opinion that was formed by a small number of people who wanted uh, well, uh, from practically uh to satisfy putin's ambitions to lead the soviet empire in the second place as much as possible to concentrate all the resources available in ukraine and to earn profits. in general, it is very difficult for ukraine to make borscht. we remember that, in principle, in a small amount of time and days. well in principle, the russians were able to

seize a rather serious territory of our ukraine on our state, especially this applies to the south and ukraine, in fact, uh, in uh, not all the way to the south, and on february 24, they were already at the border of the dnieper and captured kakhovka, so uh- er, but i want to say that this first blow did not come for them, but the first well, we started er resisting is serious and thanks to the fact that, in principle , the military knew about this attack . in principle, then, then, starting, so there may be

already from the second, third, and fourth days , the russians saw a serious military resistance. we remember what losses they had in the first days, they actually lost thousands of soldiers per day. because their tactics were very wrong they thought that they would be met here, but it didn't work out. this first stage, in principle, lasted until the moment when the russians realized that they wouldn't be able to take you either and something had to be changed, and a month later they were simply forced to choose their troops from kyiv. well, in those places where they were simply not expelled before this, they concentrated allegedly in the east and in the south of our country, but there , first of all, the second stage, which was supposed to begin sometime in april and end by the victory

day completely under the control of donetsk luhansk region, he did not succeed, and in fact, it all continued until the moment when er, well, in fact, you know, in such a stage of destruction, until ukraine went into a counteroffensive and in er, in the months of september, it did not liberate, in fact, the entire captured kharkiv region and part of the kherson region together 10,000 square kilometers, it was a serious blow to the russian federation, they moved into the next stage of the war, which i think began somewhere on october 10, just as the appointment of a new commander of this bandit group and it started again with of airstrikes well, now these strikes were directed well, not so much at military objects as at the people of ukraine at the energy

infrastructure and objects of the economy so, well, we know that in fact, for 10 days, such strikes were carried out daily, and it was also lost and used a lot of cruise missiles and again they started to use these kamikaze drones, again mostly excluded under a civilian object and now it’s like that and in principle, putin was forced to start mobilization partially, allegedly he and they already conducted, but they simply transferred such a hidden character to them, and now well, in fact , they are not getting anything, even they are already

mobilizing more and more. to their satellites all over the globe, they are not very successful at it , but it is becoming more and more obvious that, in principle, they cannot even gain a foothold in the territories that they have left, well, with the captures in ukraine and well, here is the next one the symptom is the right bank of the dnieper. and we have been hearing for several days that something like this is happening there. there is an organized evacuation from the right bank to the left bank. well, it is already like that, well, it will be very, so serious, it would be very such a serious blow to putin's self-esteem. and i think that with this , stories like this is a dirty

bomb may appear, and before that there were nuclear threats . those who know what nuclear weapons are, in general, it looks like this absolutely unacceptable, because that's why and then i already received it through the line and just the leaders of the countries of the world , those who possess it, equip them with logical thinking and a healthy sense of what the consequences will be, and that's what allegedly stopped him from doing it. andrii well, i understand that putin is sure that they said that if he uses nuclear weapons, he will simply be killed, that he simply will not exist, there will not be a command post, two american generals said that there will be no black sea fleet and many things will not be possible in the russian federation and in general all the armed forces of the russian federation. that is, we have seen during these eight months different

statements from the russian leadership, from the fact that this is a special military operation, then that it is already a war with nato, then that we will use them. they said that we will use nuclear weapons from the first tactical then when they warned, they said it was not us at all ukraine is preparing a dirty bomb, well, that is, what else is left in the arsenal of the russian federation that can somehow affect the situation on the russian-ukrainian front, you correctly remembered kherson oblast, because kherson oblast is currently being decided, well, actually, is it the second stage of the russian-ukrainian war or the third stage? the first was kyiv oblast, then kharkiv oblast from luhansk oblast, and now kherson oblast is now, in principle, from such arsenals that supports it for waging war.

what other hydrocarbon energy resources are there in russia ? it can be sold because of inertia. well, we know abroad. now we know that we are looking for ways to fight sanctions. especially that it concerns oil, because oil is 40%. revenues to the budget e-e imports a-a er-e the budget of the exporter of the russian federation and the old so gas as well as just oil and there are now being sought from this scheme as how does it do well, we know that the russians have invented quite a few ways to circumvent sanctions and here is how to do it there and deliver spare parts for rockets for helicopters for their own and so on, but well, in any such uh, such a turncoat, it comes to an end and now, sooner or later , uh, people will find out about this, and uh, the civilized world and

this is the end of this, but i think that uh... in principle, practically the entire arsenal of these are the levers of influence, these are the black swans, let's say, that could surprise the community. these are nuclear weapons and energy carriers. this is where it ends, and in principle, and, well, there are no results. putin has nothing. can't see it, the last one was a blow to the energy infrastructure of ukraine, but he also had something. they took and there are no weapons, but it is necessary to introduce property

, such people are thrown into battle who, in general, there, well, let's say this 30 years ago, they actually opposed the construction of a democratic russia there. one component of the current war that has not yet been fully used by putin is the potential of belarus, even the geographical potential of belarus . the russians used to visit us troops over the past eight months, there have been many conversations and statements about whether belarus will join the russian-ukrainian war or whether their military will enter the territory of ukraine from the north of ukraine, the self-proclaimed

president of belarus lukashenko tries to avoid any such answers, says that we with whom we will not fight and says that he does not believe in the third world war and wants belarusians to be able to wash with warm water at least twice a day, we will hear lukashenka, that's why i don't believe that this is the third world war the war will be. well, we never paid for it. we approached it very quietly. europe, first of all , i know this for sure. god forbid, the world war did not start on the 30th. therefore, the most important thing now is for parents, just to say that your son or daughter could wake up in the morning with a smile and a smile. the parents will have a snack to eat so that, as i said recently, you can bathe

the child with warm water and maybe more than once. and take a shower yourself at least a couple of times a day and don't wash the toilet paper. madmen in the west so that we live a normal life , such a caring grandfather who carries such a verbal whip sorry, i can't say it any other way, but uh, here's what lukashenko says about the third world war considering that iran started supplying russia not only drones, as they say, have already started wearing helmets to the russian army, we provide them to belarus , it provides its territory with infrastructure for the placement of russian occupation troops that can move towards ukraine, are these not signs of this third world war, because it is obvious the axis of evil is russia, iran and belarus. well, as for

lukashenko, i think that he is a little, well, not very adequate, because the subject matter is very strange there, and these practical examples. they really surprised me. regarding belarus itself, well, this is the threat of using its territory, it has already been updated . you are correct in saying that we did not, in principle, count on the fact that there would be a blow, a blow actually happened in february, and this threat has been hanging over us all these eight months. what , uh, well, lukashenka himself is afraid of doing this in first of all, because he is afraid of his own people, because, well, belarusians are the main mask, as all the polls show, they are against this war, both civil and military, well, let's say

the middle junior or this e-e link of e military administration, so e-e, here such a situation under pressure allows the use of airspace in these airfields, now some troops are concentrated there, but well, this is more reminiscent of er, maybe there are some demonstrative measures er, at least now, er, girlfriend, well, the third a world war, uh, belarus is a threat, well, i do n't uh, i don't know these armed forces, they are independent, especially i don't know what they are such fantasies. but as for iran, it's like that in principle. well, it's very unpleasant for us , things are all the more so that we are, i understand, it was so active, military, you, you, you, you, you, tycoon

, to cooperate with them as a child, i remember there, planes flew there, well, you see, it is necessary here, this is the kind of diplomats-diplomatic political wisdom, what kind of friends should we have there everything is very ambiguous well, as far as i know, iran is also such a country, they don't use support even in, among their own people there, in fact, they always had very serious conflicts there. well, historically, even the name of this gulf, yes, the persian gulf, if you say so, well, who doesn’t like it, just because of the name of the father, from an ancient wound , that’s why it’s called the arabian gulf. i don't

know, i don't see such special e-e precursors there in order to talk about the third world war, but with its threats of nuclear weapons, russia has actually prepared a measure for what will happen, well, it is very smart to use an immediate response and neutralization of these threats, because absolutely no one cares about this it is necessary for the people who announce politics, they have actually probably lost touch with the reality of family life there. i am not talking about some values, they simply lost touch with reality and life, and everything and everything that they can direct their peoples there to some uh, i don't understand the shares here these are special military forces and to force them

to give their lives, well, the situation is really not easy, but i think that ukraine and its partners are doing the best they can to make the situation in this situation, well, not enough for there to be some kind of excavation and er protect your er properties democratic er well and win because this struggle is being fought for our sovereignty and our lands p andrew at the end of our program does the russian federation dare to use the so-called dirty bomb in which formation or the use of which they suspect or accuse us that we can use such a bomb what is it possible if they say this

is the the weapon will be used and again everything will turn over to the other side and well, this is normal, absolutely normal for the russians, the practice they have always done the recent er measures they confirm it i mean the south stream for the south stream- 2 explosions oh oh oh the explosions that were actually happening now it was established that it was a sabotage of the use of explosives. well, in fact, there was a jasnyk who did the same thing here, but the fact is that they are a little stuck in time somewhere there, 40-50 years ago, when to prove who really did it, it was difficult now

it can all be done thanks to the technological advantages of the various surveillance systems . well, i think that they will not succeed . thank you, mr. andriy, for the conversation. of the naval forces of ukraine in 2004-2020, friends, we work on several platforms on the air of the espresso tv channel, as well as on social networks, we are present on all platforms on facebook, youtube, telegram, instagram, join our social networks, we work for you 24/7 except you can also go to our site espresso tv the most prompt news the most prompt comments 24 hours a day seven days a week we work just for you, except for those who
