land and we will be able to carry out more maneuvers with our forces and means in the conditions of the front, which today is more or less stable, but this stability is in no way connected with the fact that we have lost the smell of fire, simply against the enemy is preparing because such factors as the factor of suddenness has already been lost and it becomes quite difficult for us to attack, but it is possible, and that is exactly why we note the need for these directions that are now being transferred to us, that is, equipment, ammunition and missiles for the hyperer, you know, but there are more the nuances, let's say some types of weapons are armed well, for example, the united states can not provide us with artillery weapons due to objective reasons, because their army is at war, otherwise they do not rely mainly on artillery, but they do not have such an amount of artillery weapons, let's

talk about that experts. and these are, for example, tanks. they have them , but they are not in these aid packages, and we still need planes and tanks, and they are in significant quantities. what do you think is the point of fear of escalation? no, not at all you know undoubtedly, artillery is currently the main tool for conducting hostilities, and it must be understood that 80% of damage is inflicted by artillery. as for planes and tanks, i will give you a very simple example that explains a lot. but tell me, please, do we have a technical base in ukraine that allows us to carry out ongoing maintenance and repair and ensure the operation of such equipment unfortunately, we do not have such a thing, and it is precisely because of this that during all the rammsteins that we are talking about,

first of all, they try to give us weapons of soviet and post-soviet models, for which we actually have such a base, and this certainly does not mean that we have never in our life we do not receive either abrams tanks or planes. work in this direction is being carried out. but it is necessary to understand that it is one thing to simply transfer these units of equipment. we need training staff for that. we really need production sites where we can do it. this kind of work is being done, and i am not saying that it will be all in ukraine. currently, meetings are being held in parallel and agreements are being signed that allow us to say that in relation to in the near future, these weapons systems will come to us for supply, why and because the intensity of the fighting is such that the soviet equipment

physically cannot withstand it, it is very badly destroyed and worn out and destroyed. thus, not even it is subject to discussion that we are moving to western standards and western models, but it takes time and careful preparation, yes, look, after all, we feel western support, we feel this aid package about what was announced by the pentagon sweden announced the allocation of aid for the first time even bulgaria announced the allocation of aid although it is not clear to me why it was delayed for so long. in your opinion, which of our western partners still has potential but is hesitating for one reason or another, you know? i would like to clarify that bulgaria after all, it helped us, for example, at the initial stage of the war in 2014-15 and 2016, well, in connection with the fact that we believe that there is no, then i will not re -list these e-e data and this information that was

given to us by these weapons which it was passed to us regarding other countries. well, we must understand that, as we have already found out, the most important thing for us today is the supply of weapons to cover our urgent immediate needs, the supply of soviet-style weapons, and here we have the opportunity to receive these weapons er from our er allies in the balkans because only there are actually weapons left that are similar to soviet models. i am talking about the weapons used by the former army of yugoslavia, namely slovenia and croatia , and that is where our activity should be directed because, well, even those macedonian tanks that are 20 years ago, i sent macedonia, now they have already returned to us and we are actively using them, it is impossible to rely on serbia, that is, there is only slovenia and croatia, and that

’s all, because in fact the resources we had used the resources of the soviet equipment of the former warsaw pact countries, they are already practically exhausted, to hope that someone from africa will give us some soviet machines, well, it would be useless, because these machines are in such an operational condition that it is simply impractical to use them in this way again let's approach it like this , then in this situation we can only hope that other partners will speed up , because we need this help today, now, and the receipts should be without interruption to achieve a complete victory over the enemy. thank you mr. serhii serhiy grabskyi, colonel of the reserve

of the armed forces of ukraine. the main victory of my life. now, like all ukrainians, i longed for one single victory, a victory in the war with russia. on february 24, a ukrainian athlete became a ukrainian athlete not until the championships and olympics of thousands of my colleagues changed the training halls to the battlefield. many of them, unfortunately, will remain there forever among them. my friend is a master of sports from greco-roman wrestling . russian and belarusian athletes. to be disgraced and exiled for life i urge you to support ukraine on the sports front your word will help put

diplomacy, a pathetic company, intimidation calls threats to ukrainian diplomats all over the world, the director of the kyiv security forum, diplomat danylo lubkivskyi, in an interview with the public, he expressed confidence that such a company will not have any success, and law enforcement agencies should clearly answer the question who sends suspicious packages to ukrainian diplomatic missions about ukrainian and russian diplomacy during the russian-ukrainian war with danylo lubkivskyi olena renovska spoke, russian diplomacy today demonstrates the worst possible features that combine it with the diplomacy of nazi germany, if we even look at the entire series of russian diplomats, we will see the faces of disfigured, intellectually poor people, not these people who

deliberately lie, contrary to any acceptable rule of decency, mr. lupkivskyi i congratulate you on the first channel of public broadcasting thank you for visiting us thank you for the invitation i propose to start our conversation with a topic that i am sure you as a diplomat, follow the latest information on 31 cases from 15 countries. such statistics are voiced by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, kuleba, regarding all these suspicious packages that ukrainian diplomats have been receiving for the past few weeks. we do not yet have information that official russia is behind these packages but it is very difficult not to perceive this story somehow in connection with the russian-ukrainian war. what do you think is behind this? first of all, i am using the opportunity and your question to express my support

to all my colleagues in our embassies in our diplomatic system, who today even experience such episodes, this is definitely a company of intimidation, intimidation, obstruction of normal diplomatic activity, and of course that this company has such psychological influence, but i will tell you that this company is actually a pathetic company which will not achieve any success, there is no doubt that whoever is behind this company should find out directly that this issue belongs to the special services of law enforcement agencies and obviously, that another way, the answer to this question will be found, nevertheless, i will say something else about the general deplorability of russia's activities on the international arena, but what is called the so-called russian diplomacy of many of the russian

diplomats . in the permanent representation of ukraine, serhii lavrov can also be in person. yes, i know serhii lavrov, in my opinion, serhii lavrov is a vivid example of the degeneration of russian diplomacy. there is a great void, this is my impression, in my opinion, and it is russian diplomacy today. russian diplomacy today demonstrates the worst possible features that combine it with the diplomacy of nazi germany. if we even look at the entire series of russian diplomats, we will see faces distorted intellectually poor, moreover, not these people who deliberately lie in violation of any

acceptable decent rule. what do you think is the attitude towards russian diplomacy now, for example , in europe, or have your european colleagues already understood with whom they deal and how they perceive russian diplomats in particular and sergey lavrov. i think that many of my colleagues are deeply impressed by what they actually saw in the face of russian diplomacy. that is, this is the gradual discovery that has come to which we have been paying attention for a long time. but nevertheless, there was such a certain myth about er, that it is possible to deal with this form of diplomacy and that today the whole civilized world saw in the face of russian diplomacy. i think that this is not just disappointment, it a look into the abyss into which culture,

human nature, moral behavior in general, anti-worldliness can fall. on the one hand, we see that at some events , diplomats or representatives of other countries are already publicly boycotting the speeches of russian colleagues or russian representatives, we are the same. we also see that a number of european leaders insist that ties with russia must be maintained. so the latest example is probably french president emmanuel macron, who once again emphasized that he considers it necessary to maintain ties with vladimir putin, do you think it is really important to do it now? in the current conditions, because, for example, emmanuel macron believes that isolation for putin would be a much worse path than the fact that they are now somehow trying to maintain a dialogue with him

. she chose the path of self-isolation for herself. this is her choice, as the president said . of the united states, joe biden, russia's war against ukraine is a war of choice, they chose this path and what is happening with russia and with russian diplomacy, and look at the systematic escape of the permanent the representative of the russian federation at the un did not use gasoline during the speeches of the ukrainian representative serhiy kislytsia well, it is pathetic, imagine what they have sunk and fallen to, no pancake escapes from the meetings of the security council and this actually applies to the vast majority of cases with russian ambassadors, this isolation is palpable, it is she is visible from rome , including at the last summit of the group of 20, where is he to her? putin simply did not dare to come

did not dare to come to a meeting with people whose respect he wants to win, right? this dictator looks pitiful as far as maintaining a dialogue with russia is concerned and you mention emmanuel macron today i think that macron's line of behavior should be considered in a certain context, first of all his words concerning russia should be taken seriously and accordingly built our reaction , our attitude in response, first of all, we must realize that france is a very important member of the international coalition against russian aggression. france is one of those european capitals that supports an important dialogue with by the united states and this dialogue, the unity of this dialogue is incredibly important, literally , macron's state visit to washington has just ended, where many issues were discussed,

including the issue of support for ukraine, the position of france is important for helping ukraine, whether we are talking about military aid or economic aid or about political or humanitarian issues, it is very important for us to maintain unity in the european union, where france has its own important participation and influence on decision-making, in particular, for example, regarding sanctions politics in relation to russia or, conventionally speaking, talking about the future of the european union, and that is why unity within the european union and unity between the european union and the united states are important today, many questions arise that were bound to arise, a war of russia against ukraine is war of attrition putin is counting on the fact that this war uh will affect the unity between the european union and america of course he is counting on the fact

that this war will cause discontent among the people due to many economic and other financial difficulties and so on. naturally, in the course of this war, there are internal economic and trade discussions between the european union and the united states. for example, macron discussed with biden the law on reducing inflation, which was signed by the president of the united states in august of this year. this is a very important law, it mobilizes almost a billion dollars of the united states to support american business, including those related to green energy, but the appearance of this law creates a balance of trade and economic imbalance in the european union, and macron drew attention to it in this way, macron is a figure, the head of the french state and a representative of the european union, who conducts a dialogue with america and tries to position himself as one of the major leaders of the european union, responding to

a lot of topical issues, their dialogue is not only with america, but also with russia, and just recently, in an interview that macron gave to american journalists during his visit to washington, he was again reminded that shortly before of a full-scale invasion, macron communicated with putin and after this meeting assured him that putin had given him a guarantee that there would be no invasion, would such a dialogue be effective if macron himself admitted that putin had already deceived him at least once, describing this context, i tried to emphasize how difficult it is connected with international solidarity against russian aggression, so that we realize that ukrainians understand and soberly look at the real state of affairs, they support us, the west supports us as it has never supported us its stories in our history, this is completely unprecedented. the united states has already given ukraine

today, if i am not mistaken, more than 50 billion dollars of aid from the european union, somewhere around 30, there is a lot of bilateral aid, the west stands side by side with us, and this must be realized and understood, but supporting this solidarity is not an easy matter, it is not just a matter of distance. this is a matter that we need to treat and do everything possible on our part to support and help this solidarity. carried out by ukrainian diplomacy in the broadest sense, including not only our official representatives, but a large international informal team, nevertheless , within the framework of preserving this unity , we need to speak with our partners as frankly as possible. that is, we in society itself must understand that the international situation is difficult to treat this responsibly in an adult way, secondly, we need to do everything to strengthen this unity and thirdly, we need

to continue to speak frankly with our partners about those things that can cause damage knowingly or unknowingly to the confrontation with the russian aggressor , really macron, in addition to the role he performs on behalf of the european union or on behalf of his own state. in the dialogue with washington or in general in global international relations, he has kept such a role for himself is a kind of contactor. i wouldn’t say a mediator or there is another word for a mediator, but a contactor with putin. i am absolutely right to ask what is more charming in the opinion that contacts with putin did not bring anything desirable as a result of the contacts made by macro or federal chancellor of germany scholz or other world figures who tried to fulfill this

so-called mediating and calming role, that is why today ’s explanation of macron’s support for the dialogue with putin looks quite vulnerable from kyiv’s point of view, it is clear that from which from a universal theoretical point of view, it is important to maintain contacts even with the aggressor in order to take care of de-escalation and to prevent excessive violence , but the current situation seems to be largely uh, in my opinion, an image comes to mind from tolkien's book the lord of the rings, when uh, a lot of people tried to look into such a magical orb in order to see what was happening in the kingdom of sauron, and the danger of this orb was that first reality was distorted by her

consciousness and secondly, it was an involvement and an involvement that could harm that person or that character who is looking at the entire sphere, a conversation with putin is like a conversation with this sphere, we must be clearly aware that this is an aggressor, this is a criminal, this a person who poses and his regime poses an exceptional danger to international relations, accordingly, realizing this, it is necessary to do everything necessary to increase pressure on putin, because only strength and victory in one way or another over putin will bring what we are fighting for , the victory of ukraine, the victory of civilized international relations, i hope that we can develop a civilized light system and maintain

the plubkiv world order. see well, on the one hand, the west, and in particular france, they emphasize because they support ukraine. we also see supplies of heavy weapons in this case . france is not an exception, it also transfers heavy lethal weapons to ukraine, but we also hear such statements as saying that it is not necessary to make putin humiliated. that's by the way words that also allegedly belong to the president of france menu macrono do you have the feeling that the west is supporting ukraine, as if in order for it to win, at the same time it is afraid of the defeat of russia since 2014 , eh, i had to hear a lot of eh the wording of the statements of the assessments of our partners , allies, and many international figures, which were related to how to build relations with russia and the realization that we are dealing with a

state that simply goes against international law, which is set on undermining international relations , then this realization came gradually, in fact, it is civilized the world very slowly realized and discovered the truth about what russia is, you will remember starting in 1991 what the civilized world did in relation to russia federations in the deserts of the year the russian federation received huge investments from the russian federation the russian federation was essentially invited to replace the soviet union for permanent membership in the un security council the russian federation became a member of the group of seven in the early 1990s, increasing this association to eight states of the world's most important economic states democracies of the world and so on. that is, it was easy to instruct uh-uh in the work line

of behavior of a politician with the russian federation with moscow in order to be able to uh-uh spread the space of democracy in this territory to tame the bear it we are not talking about a bear, i would not in any way compare current russia with a bear . and with whom i would compare it, it does not even occur to me what russia can be compared to, it is dirt, it is not pure - it is, er, a defiant attitude towards the world and weakness, this is what vladimir putin's modern russia is. the west lost when he invested so much energy and resources in the early 90s and during the 90s to go to russia for a meeting. i would not speak in categories or lost, i think it was without an alternative path, a logical path of development the hand of relations was pushed away by russia, russia went into

conflict because we consider a civilized world order to be a civilized world order, so can a person who wants to establish normal relations be mistaken, it is unlikely that one can be mistaken in good intentions, nevertheless, it was necessary to take it much more seriously and deeply. what a monster er, it exists in the depths of the russian federation, because we understand perfectly well that it is not about putin, it is not even about this circle of war criminals that he leads, it is not about that the so-called lavrov that he and so on are talking about a collective putin, and a collective putin is based on the great internal diseases of the russian people and russian society, according to the estimates of the russian levada center, more than 50 million russians believe and would like to restore the soviet union, this is

resentment, they want to return not just in youth and in this pretended greatness, the greatness of what, the greatness of poverty, but at the same time attempts to dominate others, to force others to do their own will , being worthless. this is what is collective putin and this is a big problem, so returning to your question about whether the world is ready for the victory over the regime of vladimir putin and the victory of ukraine over russia in general, the awareness of what is happening in this dynamic historical process that is developing before our eyes, it happened gradually but already today we understand several realities that have already been established, i will remember how on february 24, my family and i watched cnn and a lot of authoritative world leaders and experts talked about, in fact, as a

manufactured fact, that it is certain that in ukraine no longer so will the ukrainian people, the ukrainian armed forces gave such a response to russian aggression. if this doom has become a thing of the past and the political reality has become that ukraine is a serious subject of international relations, ukrainian victory is achievable and real, this is already a political reality, political reality has become what it is it is necessary to create a special international tribunal to punish vladimir putin and his regime of war criminals. unity between your tone and brussels has become a political reality. the readiness to apply unprecedented large-scale sanctions against the russian aggressor has become an international reality. well, the realization that we have a chance to stop this monster has become a reality. this means that there is already

an awareness that we need to think about how to to be reorganized space of the russian federation because our victory is a victory and literally for the liberation of our territories, the liberation of our lands, the liberation of our people, but on the other hand, we need to understand that the victory of ukraine and the victory of the entire civilized world also involves making it impossible for such aggression to be repeated in the future, this means the denazification of russia, this means the de-internalization of russia, this means that it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the military ability of russia to carry out this type of aggression, and this is not all of russia - this is the so-called federation, more than 80 members of the subjects of this federation are without rights, they do not even exist, they do not have according to their constitution
