but at least he tried to inspect the kerch bridge, the crimean bridge and what it looks like after the explosion was carried out there the reaction we observed of that putin who was on the crimean bridge, it was clear that he was almost seeing the crimean bridge for the first time and was very happy because now the restoration work is underway, instead valeriy the diligent commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine also addressed the servicemen and officers of the armed forces of ukraine today and said the words that those who, with weapons in their hands, will not defend the ukrainian state now fight for our freedom and

our broadcast. glory. good day, let's start our conversation with night news in kursk, russia, as a result of a drone attack , an oil tank caught fire in the area of ​​the airfield. this was reported by the governor of the kursk region, roman starovoyt. the ministry of defense of the russian federation recognized the attack by ukrainian drones on its diaghilev and engels military aircraft and also reported that as a result, three russian servicemen were killed and four more were wounded. valentine, considering the drone attacks, it is obvious from the ukrainian side, because the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, today in on the air of the only telethon, he said that you shouldn't smoke cigarettes there, no, where you shouldn't smoke them, well, he was

joking about this, considering that the second day we have a situation with drones and attacks on the airfield, where are the military equipment, military planes. can we say that ukraine is changing the tactics of waging war and the nature of the russian-ukrainian war is changing, until now, ukraine has always tried to avoid strikes on russia's deep rear, and the west has always said we cannot give you these types of missiles and such weapons, since they have a flight range of several hundred kilometers, and mr. serhiy, it seems to me that the best answer to this question was given today. i want to quote today's new york times, which er, noted, er, quoted that this is the

most daring attack by the ukrainian armed forces in the 9 months of war. and this is a very interesting answer, because in our country, officials or specialists who observe this can er, in principle, operate with various, let's say, data or hypothetical calculations, but the new york times usually operates with some sources, and the sources can be very powerful, so among others, the university says that during the attacks on the maternity hospital in in the berezan and seratori regions, special forces were used or selected to participate. they write that at least one strike was carried out with the help of special forces, and they also

write that special forces were also deployed nearby. another issue is that the garden edition today indicates that the ukrainian armed forces demonstrate tactical ingenuity . connected with the explosions at the airfields, and of course today's attack near kursk is a continuation of such ukrainian tactics. of course, this is a very important element of this war, the transfer actually, military operations on the territory of russia and the beginning of the destruction of the russian infrastructure. it seems to me that the day will be near if the missile attacks of russia continue, then the day will be near when we know that

one of the most powerful missile factories is located near the border with ukraine. yes, we also know, again, from the sources of the new times, and again today. yes, the experts of such a group, the wallet conflict, have determined that russia is able to produce missiles, including now, during the seemingly huge technological sanctions and technological pressure, therefore, on the one hand, art is possible for ukrainians, on the other hand, it is a possible way to influence the terror unleashed by the putin regime and which is periodically used in the form of such a yes, that is, i will continue the idea about the rocket factory that i think that if everything is in this context on the part of russia, then they

will be destroyed. actually, the russian production facilities that create this evil, that is, they create missiles, create weapons and weapons that attack not only and not so much the armed forces, namely population and uh, our critical infrastructure , that is, this is a very important element and this is evidence that the ukrainian uh, the armed forces are smart and that uh, this ingenuity, this determination of ingenuity, which is combined with determination, with resilience, and it works wonders and it is these miracles, they really amaze the world today, and it is possible to say that ukraine is also today on armed forces day. it would be appropriate to say that ukraine has

the most powerful army on the european continent and has proven that it is our ukrainian, more beautiful a powerful knife the so-called second army of the world in quotation marks, which before the large-scale invasion on february 24, 2022, was considered the russian army, uh, that's about it . these drones could have been assembled already on the territory of the russian state and simply sent somewhere from some point already on the territory of the russian federation, this is the first and second, the day before ukroboronprom reported that ukraine is preparing and testing a drone, an attack drone that can to fly at a distance of up to a thousand kilometers er, well, after all this happened in jagiellovo and hungary, one talked about the fact that well, it may be that this is one of the

drones that went very er deep into the depths of the russian federation, but it remains a fact since the second world war war. it seems to me that this is the first blow to the rear of the russian federation. which were there at all? since the end of the second world war, russia has not experienced anything like this until now. tell me about the special forces . the russians, who now know that they can also get them in the rear, of course. it would be very good if it were exactly that drone or precisely the tick drones that ukroboronprom is currently trying to promote and produce, but unfortunately, i have to state that ukroboronprom succeeds in it is more pr work than was necessary at this stage. it seems to me that ukroboronprom should take the

example of the commands of the armed forces of ukraine, which first do something and then talk about it or, on the contrary, do not even talk about it. therefore, not knowing it was that drone, but considering what is going on there. testing uh, i think that or that it is unlikely with regard to special forces - this is uh, in principle, information from the new york times uh, if uh, well, of course, any publication can resort to certain manipulations, and we even saw, er, some three or four weeks ago, a whole series of er publications, among which er was just in the new york times, tried with the help of various authors to point to the fact that kyiv should sit down at the negotiating table with moscow, i don't

i rule out that western publications can be manipulated to distort information and so on. and this, in principle, can be, but on the other hand, it seems to me that what happened on december 5 and 6 in the saratov ryazan regions and near kursk is, in principle, the work was successful, the work of the armed forces, for some reason i think so, and by the way, there were special forces there, well, it can be assumed, and i want to remind you that, even with a large-scale invasion, i have pointed out many times that ukraine has the most powerful traditions precisely special forces and e what er and this process testified and afghanistan er in fact every fourth was a ukrainian especially if we talk about the times of retrenchment there

and so on various structures such and about deep special forces already in ukraine there are er many positive examples i mean and not only the special operations forces, including the detachment of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense , as well as the marines, i know less about the special operations department of the foreign intelligence service. the division is not really working now, so to speak , only certain people who are seconded to other divisions are working, it may be so, but to put an end to this topic, so to speak, i want to say that it is quite possible for ukrainians to work in the deep third, and this is 300 km in the depths

of russia, and at least i don't rule it out, the preparation of such things took place and we have examples of various raids, including during this war, but they were more like combat raids, and in those with hidden work of special forces, well, if this is true and it is. then it will be confirmed, then this will be one of the brightest pages in the history of this war and will surely enter the textbooks as one of the formats of the work of the ukrainian army under any conditions, even if these drones arrived from territory of ukraine, this indicates the inability of the russian air defense system to counteract and in any case we see that

the goals have been achieved and that all the explosions have occurred . large, very expensive warships were attacked, which were attacked by small, relatively cheap drones and they managed to put the ships out of order. by the way, this was actually the first attack in the world by a swarm of naval drones, therefore, in the future, i am not convinced that the ukrainian armed forces will do additional work and are so creative. today, the situation is such that there is really hysteria in russia. we know that putin has assembled a council. and what is on

social networks there in the belgorod region, eh, territorial defense units are already being prepared. social networks are simply exploding from such panicky moods and from and i am not talking about propagandists such as tam skabeeva or simonyan who already openly say on the air about the danger of an international tribunal and of course they say that all of them, that all russians will be equally guilty, but no. strictly speaking, russian pain and the people of semen should be guilty, and the list of those who are guilty of war crimes in ukraine and who incited it and who gave orders should certainly be compiled lists in advance in order to show who actually

will be considered a criminal war criminal of this criminal war to separate other russians from this and to allow them to see some window of opportunity to help become our way of destroying putin's criminal regime and changing the political system in russia itself, although everything. of course, this does not mean that we should now focus on the so -called good russians, and it does not mean at all that after the ukrainian victory there will be a period of such calm, calm, some kind of calm life, most likely we have to prepare for expanding, increasing our capabilities and saturation, increasing the

defense potential of the state at the expense of our own weapons, primarily missile weapons, because ukraine is capable of creating a missile for 500 km and in the future 1,000 km and when they will be in for russia to know that we can attack the military infrastructure near moscow, let's say that there will be no such audacious shooting by rockets of our cities and our infrastructure. that is, we must provide the mirror answer and the question of confrontation - this question is only gaining momentum and weight, so to speak, thank you, thank you, mr. valentin , for the conversation. it was valentin, a laborer, a military expert . on our social networks on youtube and facebook for those who are currently

watching us online please like this video subscribe to our youtube channel facebook page we are on all social networks besides read our news on the espresso tv website, we work for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. well, then we are in touch with oleksandr hara, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies , mr. oleksandr. i congratulate you. good health and have a nice day . of the armed forces of ukraine good evening, mr. serhiy, too. congratulations to everyone. because, in fact, we understand the importance of this holiday, we are actually now and probably those who regret that it was not like this all these 30 years and maybe there would not have been this war if, well, really before of the armed forces of ukraine were treated as we are now a on the other hand, of course, it is very inspiring how

our fellow citizens treat people in uniform, the armed forces of ukraine were and remain quite a serious force, which now actually gives hope to ukrainians and shows the whole world how ukrainians can fight for their freedom and independence at the same time during the tenth decade months of the already great war, we periodically hear calls for the need to end this war diplomatically. and just a few days ago , french president manuel macron for the first time publicly expressed the idea of providing a security guarantee for russia, let me remind you that a year ago, on december 23, 2021, at a press conference in moscow, putin talked a lot about these security guarantees . but then he held talks with the president of the united states of america, joseph biden, and

tried to agree on ukraine not joining nato about russia retaining its geopolitical, some pieces that it controls, the current initiative of macron about the fact that security guarantees are needed for russia, mmm, what does this mean in the context of the fact that yesterday was 29 years ago signed the budapest memorandum, which unfortunately does not work well, you know, i think that first of all it means a certain uh, i would say so, an intellectual or mental disorder, which i would call the desire to be the leader of europe, the desire to constantly put forward some initiatives, some of them are definitely positive i i mean, first of all, this is the european political community, i like it, it does not replace ani natanies and includes in europe even those countries that are not very determined to become

part of europe. i mean, on the same azerbaijan itself. but sometimes all this is a misunderstanding of what real russia is. it is surprising, and president macron is also surprising, and the pope who says that these are not russians is not a russian tradition, and it means to torture, rape and kill. well, it seems to me that from this point of view, the second moment, if we, well, these are definitely psychological things, we can discuss this kind of thing for a long time, it is already subtle, but really , you mentioned those demands. i would say blackmail, which was put forward by mr. putin in december of last year, in order to stop his war, which he already i was going and knew that they would not launch it against us , and those demands were absolutely unacceptable for me. i am not talking about ukraine, this is clear about the united states and the european union, because they demanded that central and eastern europe, which remembers the soviet union very fondly, actually complete nato the warsaw

pact is the first moment, the second moment is to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the european continent. nato to defend its own territory. the third is that the combined quotes, as one of the russian politicians said, took away their manatkas from europe, even there for 100 km, the american military should not approach there for exercises for some other things. it is clear that these were absolutely unacceptable things for the united states for europeans, i'm not talking about ukraine, which we should give back in order to grow it here, russia is the first part, the second part is deeper, deeper in the 75th year, mr. brezhnev decided to sign the helsinki final act of the osce csb at that time

in order to ensure the security of the soviet borders and its influence on the territory of central eastern europe because he wanted the status quo, he did not want to destroy what you controlled what he controlled, he felt the weakness of the soviet union and did not want to enter into a counter-contract with modern revisionist russia, and she does not like the restrictions that i have in international law, and even more so after the year 1991 and later. which calls into question the principles and norms on which the modern world is built. that is why it is a minor, and most importantly, part of the countries, and ukraine is part of it. we are now showing with our own blood and suffering that important values ​​for us are, first of all, the person at the center of the system, this is democracy, human rights and other things for russians, they are enemy values , we just recently saw the adoption of the law on
