uh, the direction is promising for one side, for the other side from a military point of view, precisely because the entrance, if taken for the russians, for us, uh, everything from a military point of view, we consider because this is our land and we will always be at war, everything from a military point of view russians, i think the east is now trying to break through more from a political point of view what i already said that they need a victory to at least give something to the internal and external consumers, let's say so as not to swim in the mire in which they are now swimming after their victorious procession but from a military point of view, i think that the military looks more at zaporozhye. well, it is more promising because they have some successes there, they took energodar, took it along the dnieper, entrenched themselves opposite nikopol, other settlements, and if they advance along the dnieper b your flanks are always closed and well , from a military point of view, it's better if you 're going to stay there in the future, and on the other

hand, we understand that for us, it was quite right to work in the berdyansk corridor melitopol is where the logistical arteries of the russian army pass, and therefore if they are damaged, the war will return in a completely different direction, and we understand and they understand that this direction is promising both for them and for us, and when we were liberating kharkiv oblast in relation to the shelters, artillery duels were on in zaporozhye, then everyone switched to the kherson direction, realizing that it was strategically important , indeed it was strategically important to knock out the enemy there, too, and it was relatively quiet there. well, not counting there, i mean, there were no such global operational movements forward or backward and now when the line was drawn in the east and now we are entrenched along the dnieper i think this direction will be more active well and a-a p roman, how can you assess how we in particular

cope with the resource that russia managed to mobilize which has already been sent to ukraine. i would like to remind you that the official position of the russian federation is that at least 150,000 more of those whom they mobilized are allegedly in locations undergoing some training and in which case they will be ready to work directly on the line collision, we are holding on now, despite the fact that there are a lot of them quantitatively in separate directions - this is simply beyond the limits of common sense and modern er, some kind of military art, yes, and at the same time, we understand that there is an even greater threat the number of mobilized russians may be that their level of training is not very good. but at the same time, unfortunately, this method also has its effectiveness, and the mayor of moscow serhiy sobyanin assures that

there will be no talk of a second wave of mobilization about this provocation with the aim of creating among the population state of alarm, in your opinion, will they get away with this single, partial mobilization of this kind, or will it continue covertly? well, it’s not that i see how the mobilization is going both in them and in us, well, there are waves specifically when you need 100,000 and 200,000 at once and in general, if a mobilizer has already been announced, it never stops, you can not talk about it, they will not talk about the waves, they will simply take people to take them to the army and say that even before the first wave, we need to get a certain number there. it won't count, that's why i think they will continue, we will destroy them here, they will continue for that only in order to replenish them and fulfill some tasks regarding quality well, of course, this is not a personnel army, the russians had questions and to many units of the personnel army and when they have already been knocked out, then even

more questions arise, we understand, if we are talking about modern war, video technologies, er, war there on wide fronts, where it is necessary, including somehow, to maneuver and where one and the other side use serious armaments, therefore it is very difficult for simple mobilized people to fight and serious military operations . they will not be able to carry out in full, therefore, i believe that here the advantage is precisely in the preparedness of the personnel, the advantage is precisely in this term of the armed forces of ukraine, my last mr. roman, last night it became known that the committee of of foreign affairs of the chamber of representatives of the usa, by a slight majority of votes, rejected the draft law of the republican wing of the republican party on the audit of all aid that was and is currently being provided to ukraine we thank our colleagues from the washington post who were the first

to report this. actually, we were happy about it. yes , this is good news, but it is important to outline the good news. it is not because we are afraid of some kind of audit of the transparency of relations with our partners, but because the threat of additional probably bureaucratic red tape, which could make it difficult to provide us with help in the long term. how do you assess this situation and what are the risks that there will be someone periodically who will stick sticks in the wheels for the long-term assistance to us? well, we know that the russian federation is now doing everything in order to try with other people's hands to somehow, with the help of the bureaucracy, make ukraine supply less e-e weapons and i am sure that many colleagues i know are such, i communicated with our partners with our e-e collared arsenaters they they support us and will do everything to

provide us in the future, we are definitely not afraid of an audit. the only problem is the lack of bureaucracy and because we understand that when we often call the numbers of the transfer of certain types of weapons to us, well, they are not always 100% accurate and if you know the forces and means of the operative and you can already count on defense articles and how much more do you need if the russians know 100% of the weapons that we receive, they could more effectively counter it there or find and try to use it there ways of delivery through europe or already through e through ukraine, so these are such questions that are needed who like silence and i think that they should work at the level of the governments of countries that are definitely interested in our ukrainian victory , cluster munitions, cluster weapons in general, now it appeared on the agenda and there is supposedly an e-e such as an appeal to our american

partners to the point that we may need these means e-e in order for you to counteract russian attacks symmetrically e features of their use do we need them on your opinion, the russians, the russians use these weapons both against the civilian population and against peaceful cities, they use them here, looking at what specific ammunition they are different, they are like ossetian ammunition that mines the local people there with anti-personnel mines, they are widely used used by the russians and a lot of the civilian population, which i myself witnessed, you detonate on those books there are cluster munitions that are scattered there anti-personnel mini-mines, there are cluster munitions that are anti-tank uh, my, or mines are placed or bombs are used there , bombs are used there, so the question here is what exactly are we talking about are we talking about condensation mining or the impression of technology, of course if there are

any serious munitions, then we must respond symmetrically to the russian federation. i am a supporter of the fact that in war all means are good, but only if therefore, understanding that uh, no, no , the civilian population, the infrastructure, should suffer minimally from this. well, if the russians apply it, we should at least do it asymmetrically, too. thank you for this analysis for inclusion in the live broadcast. it was a novel by kostenko , people's deputy of ukraine the secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, a colonel of the security service of ukraine, with whom they outlined the military situation and the picture as of today already on december 8 in our country. well, it would probably be appropriate to add that authoritative world publications emphasize that ukraine obviously has means in its hands that will definitely not give

peace to the russian federation. even in its deep rear, in fact, any corner of this truly gigantic country can be within our reach, or are we talking about drones with a flight range of 1,000 km? about which the german analysts will comment in the fall, and for now, we will leave this question open, but we will observe other incidents of explosions and cotton in the russian federation, which periodically happen like this. well, i would i wanted us to hear now how russian dictator vladimir putin explains why russian weapons strike our energy facilities on our

infrastructure , what is the reason? hit the bridge over the crimean presented power lines from the kursk nuclear power plant, who does not supply water to donetsk, there is no water supply to the million city, this generation, yes , no one was deceived by a word about it at all i'm silent, we're just standing there, we're just moving, something to do in response, a noise, a crack in the whole universe , it won't prevent us from completing combat missions. here she is, who appears in communication with the studio , pavlo klimkin, diplomat, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2014-2019, sir pavlo, i congratulate you,

glory to ukraine, thank you for joining the broadcast , glory to the heroes, i am glad to be with you. greetings to all, friends, well, it’s the next day, ah, dementia. i would say the explanation of the russian dictator about the reasons why they actually leave you in the cold, sometimes without light the waters of our ukrainian people on the territory of our country turns out to be the fault of the crimean bridge, and we are now at a stage when, in any contacts, communications with our partners, we emphasize that russia is using genocidal practices, or do you think our international partners, at least someone is asking themselves somewhere even a sideline question why putin eventually resorted to this practice even though he could have done it at the beginning of a full-scale invasion and is the crimean bridge factor at least somehow unconscious for

their explanation for this, the answer to the first question is asked yes, politicians and experts also ask, they usually analyze tactics and uh, different scenarios that putin applies and not just analyze, they do it together with us. they try to help us choose the best scenario, the second point uh the crimean bridge is a very big blow, i don’t know if there is a breath or there are some other blows for putin, this is for him a question of his personal reputation inside russia. he perfectly understands that several more such blows and each such blow a blow to his image as such a successful dictator, a

person who is always right and never wrong, but this all has nothing to do with the way the war is being waged, it is purely emotional and stupid in relation to him, and if we talk about the attack on our political infrastructure actually this is also genocide. i don’t even know what putin is inventing with a glass in his hand. i don’t know what he has in his glass, but this is the ideology of this empire, whatever you call it, it consists of two simple points: first, without us, you are not part of us. moreover, not even the second assorted third class and those who are loyal, for example, belarusians, well,

you can somehow talk to them, but you ukrainians are like ours, but not linear, and putin will never understand this, he does not understand either the history of the middle ages, or magdeburg law, or the kazan sich, he will never understand this will understand because he does not want to understand it. he is building his completely fictional version of history, but the second part of the ideology of this empire is that if you do not bend, we will completely destroy you and what they are doing right now it is to destroy ukraine as such and say that you see what we can always do and we are the coolest, we can't be defeated, but in fact, we also gained the world not just confidence, we understand that we can do

it, not only the western world understands this i communicate a lot with the representatives of the zaghia there, somewhat less with the african ones, but i also communicate and they also look at it, yes, they have a geopolitical point of view, but they also understand that russia is actually weak and in a state of decadence, so i am not in the eye i know the excuses. i can't even call them putin, they sound uh, just funny, they sound lousy, pitiful, and of no use to our partners . what's more, putin made up everything he wanted, you remember, he has it there. compares himself with peter the first and says that now it seems that the sea of ​​azov will be our internal sea, but in fact he is such an anti-pytor. if you want, he once tried to call us windows to europe, but he closed this one, it was ventilated, and until now he opened it, and putin

closed it all, and there are still some cracks there uh well, soon there won’t be a civilized world at all, there will be no communication. give it years . conditionally speaking and not because periodically belgorod or course well at the same time there are more and more signals that ukraine can plan its own defense against the russian federation and the range of this defense is also absolutely in in our hands, it is not about providing us with long-range weapons, so to speak, it

is about our own developments in this direction, mr. pavly, we understand that many things are public, and even more things happen behind the scenes. can you to state that the veto was lifted for ukraine if, in your opinion, it was so that we could, uh, work behind the rear of our enemy , and the rear is not what i call our occupied territories, but really original russian, conditionally speaking. and i don't think that i used to be like that it sounds in fact, it's quite idiotic and let's remember that for us, well, for putin, this does not exist, he will invent some reasons for historical justice that he drew for himself, and for us there is international law and international humanitarian

law, and we since we are according to the un statutes, actually for our national according to the justice of the justice of the ukrainian nation, we have the right to self-defense, to defend us as a country, as a nation, and therefore, even according to international humanitarian law, we can strike at all military targets throughout the territory of russia including a kamchatka or a cat or what we have there and if we need to do it, international humanitarian law says that in order to wage war , it is absolutely acceptable to strike for any military purposes, according to pavlo klimkin, diplomat, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2014 in 2019, we hope that the connection will now be restored. it is obvious that

the veto from the partner states of ukraine to work behind the rear of our enemy does not exist. but at the same time, we cannot ignore the fact that the weapons that led to breakthrough in we are talking about the military situation in our country, we pray, most likely, before sending ukraine to ukraine, something could have been changed in its settings . range, but as military analysts note, if it is about providing us with attackcams , then together with them, let’s say, the corresponding operational support will also be transferred, if possible, some kind of flash drive that returns the settings

himerso to the factory settings if you want, it returns the ability to work at a correspondingly long distance, mr. pavly, you noted that there was hardly a veto for us to hit the russian rear well, at the same time, we see that we now use this opportunity more boldly what can this lead to in the near future and should we be afraid that such a tactic of ours can shake our support from our partners? no, it's definitely not worth it, we are again, i don't know. to strike for military purposes it is absolutely acceptable even from the point of view of international law and international humanitarian law that we have the opportunity to strike at a distance of 600 km or more

is not in fact, everyone is absolutely convinced and if necessary, we will continue to do so and in fact , we understand very well that the americans and our other allies are playing such a game with russia, er, chinese, if you know such a thousand trains, they want to reload them sequentially controlled by us of course i would like to do it even not today and yesterday we often think that this help and weapons are not enough and we think it is right but nevertheless, the glass is half full or half empty, agree and i believe that when the critical moment comes, our allies will be 100% with us, but i also feel it in my own way in your

communication, mr. pavlo, we see how the nuclear component is returning to the rhetoric of the russian leadership and vladimir putin once again notes that in his opinion the risk of a nuclear war is increasing again, the russian federation is not the country that will brag about it weapons, but states that they have them and supposedly in a super cool condition, much better than in their visa, we will say. that is the condition of their nuclear weapons, we can only guess from the experience of their use of other weapons on the territory of our country, but for sure it is impossible to downplay this threat, the same is basically relayed by lavrov and this whole machine is now and will continue to resort to nuclear rhetoric, why did it return again, because after the chinese leader’s meeting with the

president of the united states, somehow, russian propaganda and officials screwed up, so to speak, the nuclear component in their public speeches, and here it appears again because this only kozar, which they have in their hands , energy has collapsed and europe is standing still. they thought that europe would collapse very quickly, look at the level of inflation in 10 plus percent will look at the prices of gas and electricity and they have really risen there in some cases of escape but if you look our support is not decreasing in any way of course there are risks there are risks for this winter but so far, there are no options to repel solidarity and support of the west are not working at all, and in kemla they

perfectly understand that with our attitude and our fighting spirit, with the support of the west, we will not just not win, but we will go forward, so they will scare further they will scare as soon as possible with nuclear weapons and even the chinese, if necessary, they will not listen to them, they have more options. in fact, there are no other options . tell me what else they can do, not just nuclear weapons. well, in fact, it is very important that china, in different ways, signaled to the world about to a greater extent, the support of the russian federation, although very often in public it sounded like such neutrality in this conflict, but as far as the use of promising nuclear weapons is concerned, china was almost the only restraining factor for russia, many analysts say, and in which

situation china can cease to be this restraining factor, i.e. what should happen so that the sit-in-pin is no longer able to influence putin in this matter . i think that it can only be some kind of collapse in putin's entourage and or in the russian army china she is very sensitive to this, well, imagine if putin eventually uses nuclear weapons , then on the battlefield there are several tactical strikes, they will not stop us, we will only be more evil and consistent, but for china, this is a disaster because japan, korea, taiwan, indonesia, i do not know who is probably vietnam, they have all the money, they have the brains, they have

the technological capabilities, and they will become nuclear in the next years and what will china do then, for china, in fact, the proliferation of nuclear weapons is a real disaster and that putin is constantly twisting his crazy scaremongering and propaganda, china doesn't like it, china doesn't like what putin is doing, because i think putin promised him some kind of outing in the form of some special military operation, and now the chinese see that they have a large part of russian weapons, a large part of officers real ones who studied in russian academies and for a few years , i know that 70% of russian weapons were in china , now they want to bring it to 20 in a few years, well, plus or minus 20. imagine how much they

understood what russian weapons are, what is actually very symptomatic is how the world is reacting to another round of escalating nuclear rhetoric. german chancellor olafshol declares that the risk of using nuclear weapons in the ukrainian conflict has decreased, at least for the time being. russia has stopped threatening to use nuclear weapons in response to the fact that the international the community has drawn a red line, says scholz, the russian president today suggests that moscow will use nuclear weapons only in response in its turn states they called these comments empty talk, that is, too often putin pressed this button, at least with his mouth, so to speak, and so often that the world stopped trusting only

what he says. allegedly planned a coup d'état and we did n't have three minutes there without a russian trace either. please comment on it. well, the russian trace is there. i'm absolutely sure. a reminder to the western world that there will be an attempt to reboot the elites, remember putin spoke about this in direct text to st. petersburg and i think that you know this, fat hint but if you do not follow our logic, then we will already use the right, the left and whoever whatever, but in fact what i see in germany today is the level of attitude and level of emotion towards ukraine, you can’t scare them like that, even if there are 20 members of this organization and 2000 completely

crazy people of some kind who are ready to take over there, as it were power, it definitely won't work, there is a democratic tradition, there is an understanding of how to control, uh, so that democracy is not shaken, that's why putin is here, don't let him lick his teeth, nothing like that will work, and in fact, the stability of our democratic systems is what they will test, but well , what is the real potential of russia, well, look at the economic 1.7 trillion - this is the expression of the entire west forty-something 25 times, it is actually an economic dwarf, the demographic is also a real decline. well, the west perfectly understands this issue only what strategy did the west finally choose for the reboot of russia, so far it is a strategy like as he said thousands of passes. the main thing is that we do

the most important and the one that will finally end this regime . thank you, pavlo klimkin. the netherlands will not demand from russia the extradition of persons found guilty by the court of the death of flight mh17 in the sky over donbas, which was shot down from a russian beech. my colleagues already know why. the broadcast continues. congratulations, this is freedom life. my name is vlad and lazur. over the past day, as a result of russian armed aggression in ukraine, 11 civilians were killed, 9 in the donetsk region and two people in the kherson region, and 17 more people were injured, citing the provision of

regional administrations.
