oh-oh-oh, the strike force and the number of personnel should probably be more than everything that russia is currently using against ukraine in general, starting with the small forces they have concentrated in belarus and ending with the same kinburg scythe, so seriously lead the conversation about the fact that odessa is threatened by some direct military actions of the russian army. i don't see the content. i don't see it. it could be missile strikes. it could be strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles. there are not so many of them in russia, or they will be. continue to purchase - to purchase verana, but you are also not infinite opportunities and production capacity, so i don’t think that anything is in danger, so

individual air raids can happen, but it can happen at the cost of the lives of pilots, this is if you introduce the language for front-line strike aviation, everything else is just missile attacks, thank you thank you to our respected military expert general e. mykola malamuz mykola salamastiv for participating in this program, we will now move on to a rather important topic devoted to foreign policy with what foreign policy looks like now, so ihor eisenberg, professor of the university of jury, please. about the fact that there is actually such a confidential dialogue between the united states and china

regarding the russian-ukrainian war and that when the united states was against the transfer to poland of old soviet fighter jets in ukraine that fighter jets to fight against russia, this was done in order to negotiate with china so that china would stop the nuclear ambitions of russia, how likely do you think these are similar texts? i think that, of course, the dialogue between the united states and china is constantly being conducted, but i have doubts about uh- e information that was given in this article because well, there are such things that are very difficult to just believe , let's say that lavrov did not know that on february 21, that on february 24, the invasion of russia into ukraine would take place. well, i can't check it, for example as well as the contacts mentioned there, the author writes that there were contacts with the chinese

military and the united states on people who are not called the united states. i also find it hard to believe that the chinese military has any confidential contacts with american political circles with the political leadership of the united states and contacts, let's say, at the level of the chiefs of general staff, but this uh, there are periodic conversations between the mineral milli and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and his chinese colleague or do i officially report although of course she is informed about what exactly they talked about, that is , i think that contacts are usually between the united states and china constantly now

, the department is aware that the united states is constantly warning china that china should not help russia. it helped me circumvent sanctions. they did not supply russia with weapons or any components of weapons. such contacts are of course possible. it is possible, of course, that there are also contacts regarding the fact that the chinese contributed to russia not using nuclear weapons, i can believe that such contacts were definitely there, but it is difficult for me to connect this not transferring planes to ukraine in march with the fact that there were some contacts between by the united states and we are moving towards nuclear weapons. it seems to me that at the beginning of march, putin himself was sure that he would win the war tomorrow. it is possible that china also thought that putin would win the war tomorrow. besides, at the end of august, which

understand, slovakia transferred after all in ukraine , also precisely for such mig-29, i.e. the united states er-er, if well, suppose that in march they objected to such a transfer in poland, then she did not object to it er-er from the church, well, at least the prime minister - the minister of slovakia said that slovakia is trying to hand over these planes to ukraine. i haven't seen any official statements about this after that, but i really hope that the planes are still in ukraine now. and tell me what you think in principle , is there an understanding between the united states now and china about how it should continue. here is how this war should continue. how much china has changed its position. i will tell you after the meeting between president biden and the head of knrsizenkin. it seems to me that china is trying to

sit on two arrows all the time because the chinese really wanted from the very beginning that russia in this war, translated in order to weaken the west in order to show that this is an authoritarian power, it is a power, democracy is not a force on one side, on the other side, china definitely does not want to spoil eh, at least its economic relations with measures, in particular with the united states well, the united states are in the first place, but as a country that imports chinese products, if we look at the list of countries that import products from china and the united states, they are, so to speak, separately in the first place ahead of everyone else, russia is on this list only in 11th place , because the economic relations

between the united states and the eu countries are very important to china because they are the main consumers of chinese products chinese exports, respectively, are the main sources of money for china, so china is sitting on two chairs, and i think that in a certain way china's attitude has changed since the beginning of the war, because china understands that russia is not capable of winning this war , it is not capable of such that military victory and he will understand that it is impossible, that's why china's rhetoric has also changed, although he repeats in the statements of the ministry of foreign affairs the statement of the minister of foreign affairs that, as it was sung in the song of the times, the

burdens with the chinese have become "brothers for the ages" in fact, it does not result in any actions of china , that is, china definitely does not help russia, er, economically, the fact that it buys more russian oil than it used to buy, well, why should it not buy? russia is selling oil, take it at a big discount, but china did not increase it russian exports do not provide russia with any weapons, but the components are strict . i think that there is an understanding between the meat states and china. and how do you now look at the events surrounding the republicans? to what extent, in principle, can we say that president trump is no longer the same the idol of the majority of republicans as it was before and that the governor of florida, of course, has a chance to get the republican nomination, how serious is it? i think that the governor of the troops has a

chance to fight for the nomination, but i do not share the opinion that former president trump should already be written off as a republican candidate not at all because trump is very popular among ordinary republicans. he brought with him to the republican party a lot of people who simply did not go to the elections before at all, er, it is er, from 15 to 20 million people, this is at least 30% of those registered by the republic, who plan to participate in the party primaries, therefore, trump has a very good chance of receiving the nomination of the republican party from the 24th year, since this morning, i have been thinking about talking about it. well, it started in february of the 24th year, uh, a lot

will happen from now on, but the popularity of trump among ordinary republicans who elect the candidate from the republican party for the post of president remains very high and it is unlikely to be decrease and therefore, any other candidate will have to fight with trump for the nomination. look, this does not mean that trump has the same chances to win the presidential election . look at the congressional elections, he nominated a lot of candidates through him directly. participation in these elections, er, many moderate republicans simply remain for er, outside the congress of the 118th convocation, er, because they either lost the primary with a frame candidate, or

at all, you won't participate in the elections because of the fact that it was believed that they had no chance to oppose trump's candidates, but in the general elections , the majority of the ramkov candidates lost because the voters were not party voters, above all, they did not want to vote for such candidates, because trump is for me. has uh and now has a high chance of fighting to be the candidate of the republican party because the popularity within the republican party among ordinary voters remains very high but his chances of winning in my opinion, the presidential elections are less than they were in the 20th year because moderate voters will not vote for him. of course, everything depends on what i will be in the 24th year or how

joe biden will feel. will he be the candidate of the democrats and so on, but trump cannot be considered as a written candidate. i saw that well, some er, some viewers decided that everything is trump, trump is already everything. i don't think so because his popularity within the republican party remains very high. how much, in principle, it can be assumed now that the idea of ​​this two-part support is obvious to american society. i was just reading an article in the new york times today about how in the state of maine ukrainian flags are produced in order to appear. by the way, it is not so simple because it turned out that for the azure color of the ukrainian flag, a special fabric is needed, which needs to be specially made in the united states, there is no such fabric, this fabric is made to order in ukraine -

this may surprise many, but it is so so an interesting moment, and that's why one of the heroes of this article speaks ukraine - it's not a red or strong question , it's a blue-yellow question, how widespread are these views? do you think all views are sufficiently widespread? indeed, ukraine , ukraine, support for ukraine. this is, you know, a popular topic in america. the people of ukraine supported it regardless of their views. it is impossible not to support ukraine, unless the extreme right and the introliya, which do not make up the majority of american society, can, for example, wiped in new york on a street with ukrainian symbols, every third passerby will greet you and raise a fist as a sign of solidarity, can hug you, that is, ukraine is a very popular five-support of ukraine by the

majority of the american population really does not depend from party affiliation. thank you, mr. igor. let me remind you that igor eisenberg was in touch with us in this program, a professor of new york university, we talked about what is happening in principle with american politics, how big are the chances of former president trump coming to the white house, it is quite important here that yours know that president trump, when he was in charge of the united states, had his sentiments towards the russian federation, but he did not have sentiments towards the people's republic of china. and it is also interesting how things are changing in the world now, because then when trump was the president of the usa, russia and china were not at all the allies they are today and it is obvious that their views on the future are close, and president trump's views on the people's republic of china have not changed for the better, the circumstances have even worsened, and now how

to deal with russia, which is such a satellite in the international arena of communist china, this is what i wanted to ask, of course, if there will ever be a debate in which donald trump will participate regarding his presidential term, it is obvious that this will be asked not only he and not only volodymyr melnichenko has volodymyr melnichenko, we have the director of energy programs of the razumkovo center in contact with him, with whom we will talk about what is happening with the energy situation. greetings, sir volodymyr, i congratulate you, you know the struggle, mr. volodymyr, with so-and-so and so-and-so, who will be the first to make it , so now they say that ukrenergo says that 75% of the problems of electricity consumption are covered, but this is a question of whether for a long time and how to ensure the stability of this situation in the conditions when can we prepare for a new of some russian mischief well,

the gradual system is indeed being restored, most of the nuclear blocks controlled by ukraine are already connected but again, we do not know how big the next attack will be and how powerful the air defense system will work. to what extent can we replenish the emergency stockpile? therefore, now uh, it means predicting the consequences of the next wave with sufficient accuracy. the system and our energy engineers will cope with air defense, we will somehow be able to overcome the next wave in some way, as

in principle, in uh, are you considering the further tactics of the russians, or are those who say that they are going uh, right? by increasing the threats, they first hit on some er not very significant energy capacities, then they reached more significant ones, now more on transformer fields at nuclear power plants , and they will increase these rates, and i think that the task has been set for them by the higher so-called political leadership of russia that in the first place it is necessary to de-escalate the city of kyiv, and we see that they are hitting the transformer substations, the distribution system, the high-voltage power lines that lead and provide the city of kyiv and the left bank, well, part of ukraine, that is, the task of disconnecting the unified energy system, which currently consists of

seven regional systems, and creating impossible conditions for living in large cities such as kyiv, for example, kharkiv, dnipro, in order to uh, some kind of panic has started, pressure is being put on the government on the government, and in this way they are counting that uh, our government will somehow be forced to surrender. this is their main strategy. what do you think can be expected of the ukrainian energy industry at all the implementation of such a strategy is how to survive in such situations, well, again, despite the fact that our energy system is extremely durable, it has already withstood seven waves of such very powerful missile attacks, at the same time, with the coordination of nadia they knew where they were hitting, the situations when these

attacks were planned by energy workers are clearly traced russia and er, i think that 90% of the energy systems of the countries of the european union would not withstand a single country of the european court, they would not withstand even one or two, so our system has already withstood seven waves, so how much more is it it's hard for me to say, but to say so. i think that we still have to look at the scenario that in any case with each attack the system can weaken and er when there will be interruptions exactly the power output points of the power distribution of atomic blocks and you know what's down there blocks, they are launched, then for a long enough time, this is an inertial system, uh, you can run them there for a day or two , and in this way, uh, in this way, it can

continue and simply increase the deficit constantly in the energy system with each wave, yes and he can eventually reach this deficit , er, deficit of power. well, there is 45%, maybe even more. well, this is a critical scenario, but so far i do not see that without predicting the situation, the next one or two waves of missile attacks can completely destroy the energy the system and ukraine, er, means that it will be in a complete disaster, that is, i do not see such a scenario yet. i think that we will survive in terms of energy, the power deficit will increase, the period of interruption of energy supply will increase, the period of restoration

of energy, that is, here is such a basic scenario, although everything is possible, in principle, people in such a situation, what do they have to prepare for, what should they do? after seven waves attack, i guess i'm using it now i hear you, i can repeat that people have adapted, i heard it later, volodymyr, i'll be with us now,

volodymyr ramilchenko, because i think that this conversation is necessary, it still gives it to the end, this it is important to press the conversation to make absolutely sure that russia is now conducting such an energy war against ukraine that there was almost no real war in the theater of war and it started an energy war. for me, there are no special sensations here and i am not very surprised about this from one simple the reasons why, in principle, russia always fights like this, russia always fights with the civilian population throughout the history of russia, this is not a war of armies, wars, artmir russia, which considers itself invincible, very often suffered serious defeats, but if you fight at the expense of civilians the population even its own whenever god's will did not give it to moscow, mykhailo

lermontov wrote but they gave it away with civilians , but few of you guess about that, and then with these same civilians behind the citizens they burned it and they say oh how french army was not comfortable in this burning room in moscow, it is obvious that it was not comfortable, this is an obvious fact, it is obvious that emperor napoleon bonaparte did not feel confident in the conditions of being in a burning place where you could take shelter only behind the walls of the kremlin fortress, but i wonder how the muscovites were. they were n’t in the kremlin together with emperor napoleon bonaparte. but it’s interesting that in russian history there is no sympathy at all for these people who remained. by the way, in winter it was not summer, general

moroz, so to speak, remained an eternal russian union in a cold place, for whom only representatives of the merchant aristocracy could escape, some part of the population, and ordinary people were left to freeze, well, what are you going to do? not to be allowed to st. petersburg. i am not talking about all these burning and destroyed soviet cities during the second world war. this was absolutely a conscious policy in order to somehow prepare for the defense of the soviet union in a situation when stalin absolutely did not believe in an attack from hitler,

but he probably believed that he himself would attack hitler, it took time, time to gather an army, time to prepare blocking units, time to shoot some generals and officers, time to shoot tens, if not hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the soviet army who fled from the german army in the depths of russia, it was time to prepare for the battle near moscow. and this was the real price for the preparation of this army. hundreds of thousands of soviet soldiers were shot by soviet soldiers . historians of the second world war on soviet soil do not like to talk about this, but that is how it is here. was and that is why cities were destroyed not only by one brain. so this is an absolutely normal situation. vladimir, you are with

us . yes, i am with you. citizens have already survived seven waves of powerful attacks , and you know that many people have already learned, know what to do and how to do it. it means that we have to buy water from points of impurity, now we have diesel generators there, and a system of storing electric energy to buy, that is, but again, for example, people who live in rural areas have more maneuverability, that is

they can be heated locally, from local types of fuel, solid fuel boilers are the biggest threat, first of all, it is for cities, for many multi-story buildings, people have a minimum of maneuverability. for example, if you take kyiv as a place, then... it consumes about 1 1.2 gb of electrical energy, and the critical infrastructure is water supply, heat supply, medical facilities, military facilities, it is about 375 mw, so first of all, you need to orientate yourself so that the local authorities and energy companies to provide this very 375 mw of power of the critical e-e structure and if this is

done, then in principle people will be able to survive on these conditions because with water and sewage and heat even without electricity for a while here and there day 2 two days three days 4 days, people can live, so it seems to me that here not only people need to think about how to survive, but also the state should think more about how to help people, how to create such a situation of survival, it is done . is being formed, but it is necessary to also provide some alternative sources in order to, in principle, provide people with water and thermal energy in the event of damage to the electrical energy infrastructure. thank you, mr. volodymyr

. programs of the rozmkov center, we discussed with him the energy problems that currently exist in ukraine as a result of russian attacks as a result of this energy war that is being waged by russia against ukraine and beyond any doubt this war is not will end by the time russia has the resources to wage this war. i understand that i don't really want to talk about it now, i don't really want to think about it, but it is absolutely obvious that this energy war is now the main argument of russian president vladimir putin, i don't think that it's strength. i think it's from powerlessness, because in my opinion, energy war is always proof that the army can't really win the war. if the army can't really win the war, it starts. these are the actions directed against the civilian population.

were proud of their heroism and strength, in fact, only women and children can fight, what wild scoundrels it's just hard even to imagine to imagine now news time i will pass the floor to my colleague ania melnyk, who will provide you with relevant information of this hour. this day, together with our news service, what has been prepared for you this issue, please good evening, thank you, the news team will tell you about the most important thing in a few moments , stay with us , two people died and one was injured, the consequences of the enemy shelling of kurakhovo in donetsk region reported the head of the regional military administration, pavlo korolenko, the russian nazis were killing
