large-scale military invasion continues, and let's go to the numbers . so, today, by the forces and means of the armed forces of ukraine, a certain number of russian soldiers were eliminated, and therefore the total losses as of now there are 96,000 personnel of the enemy's army, tanks were destroyed, 2,970 armored combat vehicles were destroyed, 5,937 managed to destroy 1,931 artillery systems of the russian army, the jet system is already under fire, as they say, minus 404 anti-aircraft weapons that will no longer work against the ukrainian e-e ukrainian army 211- 281 planes will no longer fly into the sky, 264 russian helicopters have been shot down by ukrainian soldiers, 1,617 uavs, and 592 cruise missiles of ships and boats that will not

be able to go to sea, there are already 16, also of automobile equipment and 4562 tank trucks, and it was also possible to destroy 171 units of special equipment. so, i would like to add to the conversation, mr. valery shalogo, the head of the ukrainian crisis media center, the extraordinary and authorized ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america in the 15th-19th years, valery, i congratulate you . to you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes , well, we certainly don't have a festive one yet. as they say, the broadcast is already nearing the end of the year. international relations and what we should expect after these vacations are over. i would first like you to comment on this statement that was broadcast yesterday on the cnn channel with reference to certain officials in the presidential administration and high-ranking officials officials in the united states that there is allegedly an agreement to transfer

anti-missile defense systems to ukraine, patriot, please, how do you evaluate these statements and can they be trusted unconditionally? i don't know how to answer your question. let's say so according to my information from my sources and with whom i am talking in washington, this decision was made, let's say briefly uh, why uh, well, at least that's what they also told me that this uh, decision was made politically , there is a question of when it will be through what training, when we will have systems, that is, this question there is, but a principled decision has been made, and this, by the way, is a huge change that took place thanks to many, many factors

. that we are grateful to many of our friends in washington who said that, after all, it is necessary to take such steps and move to more powerful systems, and in principle, this is one part. is planning to put e-e ballistic missiles in russia there, there is different information that they can limit it to 300 km and wounds, too , he is actually afraid to go beyond the limits, because this will also have consequences for him, i am surprised that the consequences for him are not going as they should, including with on the part of ukraine, i am surprised because iran should be punished for the fact that it supplies weapons to the aggressor and invaders, there are some beatings in kiev today, that is, it should be punished as much as possible, but it

is clear that the usa also reacts to such actions of iran so that they do not tell the world that we let's limit it, we didn't shoot down the ukrainian plane, do you remember there were also such conversations, they took a delusional plane and shot it down, and it is still unknown who was in charge there. i think the russians were in charge, but the iranians were very involved, and now they are playing on the side of russia in this war, so against such actions of iran the usa spoke up and, in principle, finally, i hope that we will receive some kind of preventive measures regarding how ballistic missiles are placed at the disposal of russia. a statement was heard from the minister of defense of great britain, who said that britain has enough long-range weapons and did not twist the fact that these weapons can be transferred to ukraine, in addition, italy will give us weapons again

adoption of the appropriate decision and in principle we see such a-a consensus and among the different countries of the european union again the united states of america and so there have always been in this consensus i am afraid here but i want to ask if there is really a consensus about what should be done with putin was reached and he was probably expressed by this position of jesseven yesterday that putin should be brought to justice, and you as a diplomat are very interested in how you would decipher this phrase putin should be brought to justice, what is it can mean practically well then two parts one t what did you say that such a joint decision has now been taken i think a joint decision was taken earlier regarding the prevention of achievement not that the whole of russian these these of course depends on our opposition and you are constantly inventing new ones there but all did you understand that in order to prevent russia from

taking bandit steps in geopolitics, that is, this consensus is based on this, that is, to prevent russia from winning, and this aid to ukraine goes to the realization of this goal of the consensus to let ukraine win, in my opinion so far, there is not, and now we have a turning point, uh, just such a breakdown. i really hope that they will move on to this issue, because, to be honest, i really care less about putin, and i care less about what will happen in russia. territories, we will protect ourselves, ukrainians, ukraine from further attempts by the aggressor to attack because uh, here i will say my personal opinion, the hot phase of the war may go on there for some time. tough with russia will continue for years, and the

key issue for us is the consensus regarding the victory of ukraine, and the victory of ukraine consists of the fact that president zelenskyi has already said many times, and all our official factors today say the same words that we spoke with you in march. i tried to find compromises with russia, we said that these compromises are impossible and we need to talk about a confident position. now this confident position is occupied by ukraine, the president, the government, the parliament, the opposition and non-opposition, civil society, everyone is already clear where the occupation of the territory of ukraine means the return of all our captives , reparation or another form of recovery of financial losses , and it is a very important element. this is nato, these are all the elements that must have a

full consensus. for me, ukraine's victory means ukraine's accession to nato and full consensus from nato countries regarding our joint defense security without this. unfortunately, we will not be able to secure the world from these attacks, so when you ask if there is such a consensus today, it is not yet complete, it is necessary to work on it, i heard recently thanks to my colleagues who make programs where they give the opportunity to hear russian propaganda in russian eteri, they were quarreling there because of what it means in ukraine they will give weapons. and this we said yesterday in confirmation and the money means an abyss. well, they will feed a lot of people in europe to ukraine. and what should the poor russians do now? i want us to watch a video, so in russia they showed how they load. as far as i understand , an intercontinental

ballistic missile that can carry a nuclear charge will be selected for combat duty. the next example of a missile-nuclear weapon that will allow solving any set tasks at the strategic level is not here immediately when aid to ukraine increases and financial, armed and political russia begins to show intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, for whom now, again, for whom is putin doing this first of all, and is this really the last trump, which in principle remains in the russian regime to sail in the matter of whether he ever comes from this trump card or not, please, well, look of course, i trust the person who has to make such a decision. in which palace, who has a special

room with small models of cars? well, how do children collect there? well, not only children are collectors, of course, but this one is special for putin's room is equipped with playrooms, that is, such a person, well, it is difficult to predict what he will do. it is possible that some complexes are children's, er, complexes , in general, such a transitional age is not easy. i am 70 years old. thank god i have not yet lived. therefore, i do not know what is going on in the head. this is an amendment, but i proceed from the fact that i have seen putin. as i saw him before, this is not paradoxical. well, he is not a criminal, a stage person, but rationally, you know. he would, if he was ready to launch ballistic missiles, he would not i sat down at the table in fear that some virus would jump over there, i will tell you that it is not what i believe or do not believe. i want to emphasize once again what i

said in march when the threat was much greater in the month of march and really thinking in the headquarters in russia about of tactical nuclear weapons, such were the case with a ballistic nuclear missile aimed at ukraine is completely pointless. well, not even that it is pointless, even technically it requires certain efforts and a certain territorial distance . if we talk about threats to states, well, where are these missiles? in principle, they are still on duty . so what? well, what about the fact that they will tell horror stories to the usa for a long time, i have said everything on the closed line that works between these countries . they told them everything, we saw it, what was the reaction of russia, that is recently, the prime minister of india said, listen, what is this? i am not going to meet with you. this is putin. he said yes, but he gave such a signal, that is, all this is for the

russians, this is the whole story, just accept it, i will not say what it is. 100% there, but not always this is an amendment, i say, it should be done on absolutely crazy people there who, in our opinion, are really unbalanced, otherwise they would not have started a war, they would not have started to lose ukraine, which was obviously a failure from the very beginning. but i consider it mostly for internal use sentence if we talk about strategic nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, then in russia they perfectly understand what you want - you don't want the united states, another nuclear country. rockets along c, the answer will be 100%. because those people who sit behind these installations, they cannot think about doing it or not doing it, that is, if there

is such a fact, they will give an answer in this answer, the russians know that they will just be, well, they don't even know that they don't have their missiles there at all will explode, let's start with this, they have a lot of fears, in fact, that it will explode right there, then they can end this entire nuclear conflict by suicide, and putin knows that, he is not going to die. no, he is completely different he wants to use this weapon as long as we or our partners are able to do so. well, he will use this blackmail more informational plans. yesterday, by the way, we talked to mr. volodymyr tzubulko, and he said that why did the russians launch missiles from the caspian sea because those missiles that did not take a course in the direction of ukraine, they fell into the caspian sea and he says that according to his information, the caspian sea has been polluted there, so to speak, the organisms that inhabit the caspian sea are already dying, so the

question is, how do you say that there is no unknown and these missiles will all fly because now the old missiles are not always launched from the caspian sea. now i want to go a little to the north . as they say, the direction and talk about these strange hands that are happening in belarus. yesterday, information came that belarusians, the leadership of the republic , the military leadership and the political e the very proclamation of the president announced a sudden check of readiness and but their troops they are directed closer not to ukraine, but to the western borders of this e-e corridor of their suval and means lithuania and poland, and here there are questions as to whether this is a definite provocation or how it can be explained . please let me know your opinion on this matter. well, i am focusing on the official statements of the ukrainian authorities. these statements were from the head of military intelligence. representatives of the security forces. they said that

today preparations for the offensive and invasion of ukraine are already directly by ground forces. that is , there are no land forces from the territory of belarus. i think that well, i trust this information, so what then well, in my opinion, first of all, putin, and now the russians at the top, need to take complete control of belarus with such a gift from lukashenko so that he would check. well, he wants to go to the courts in absentia, but they will chase him to the tribunals, and lukashenko has his hands in my hands and that's all. but in order not to give him that, they want to smear not only him and his immediate environment, but the

belarusians of belarus as a whole, that is, call the point of view, the probability of wounds later entering, or there is a violation of the border and an invasion from the territory of belarus, in my opinion, is very high. this does not mean that in the future they will have military success, that is, that they will advance further and fulfill some goals - no, it is important to the russians that they entered, even if they simply entered the territory of ukraine, that is, will they succeed in doing it well, they are going in that direction because they have already obtained from the belarusians the formation of joint units, well, that is, it will not be clear whether it is the belarusians or the russians, that is, they will already do it together and cross the border, they can when it happens and when it is possible, we will see the readiness for this, there is a maximum influence on those twins, in my opinion, well, i can hardly

imagine how it can have an effect, but the fact that they will try to use it is possible together with them, even with such blunders, i am delirious that it is possible to advance in ukraine in the spring, which many says, i honestly don't know how realistic it is, whether the russians can still mobilize the second wave of the offensive, but there might be an attempt, that is, they don't - i think they don't believe that they can achieve some military goals in ukraine with belarus, they rather want belarus i would like you to evaluate the political situation in russia itself. what is exposed to the public, so to speak, because of course it is not always possible to have insiders. what is happening in the kremlin, but understanding can be to a certain extent, you know, i didn’t read, well, i listened to surveys of people in russia, they were asked who will be after putin? well, someone said

that there will be no one. with putin, it led to the fact that, in principle, even if some changes were to take place, there is no one in particular to replace this putin and create a new, high-quality history and perspective for russia, so everything is difficult there, but in any case, then there remains me i would like you to express your opinion about the tension between him and the environment, whether it is a political environment, a business environment, or whether everything is stable in them, any information about any signs of tension or showdowns. these are just such emissions to the outside of certain data that would force people to talk about something and naively hope that somewhere now putin will hit him with a snuffbox in a match and everything will be different, said president zelensky, the war will end when putin dies, please. i have seen the formation of this system for decades as she in russia, she changed, no wonder she changed to what they formed they formed a police authoritarian country based

on well, i would say it is more like ochlocracy ochlocracy is, well, in principle, when there the people swallow all this, a group, some group is in power and so they chose theirs. well, how is it in prison, pakhan, and they have a coordinator like putin, he decides which groups to give more money to, less, that is, they chose him at the time so that he would preserve the family of yeltsin, so that he would not there were none after death yeltsin this was the agreement of the transit period . yeltsin transferred power and then promised, in principle , according to putin, kdb kdb well, now she said, she promised to preserve yeltsin's life and all his fortune, in principle, putin fulfilled this promise until recently, all this money was received by the entourage yeltsin and only, in fact,

they already had to carry out this full-scale invasion. well, it will end completely. i am satisfied with them. well , a new period has already begun for putin, so i think that there will be no drastic changes in russia. they are russian people traditionally and historically, you know this, but we somehow somehow think that they are the same as us, no, they are not the same, i have many friends in russia many times, i went there, they are completely different people, completely different, they will not need a king putin will be another tsar, in fact there are two main groups. well, everyone perfectly understands who the other tsar is, that is, that is why, in principle, they will not build anything new with such a system of development of russia as it is happening now, a paradoxical thing, war and sanctions and everything else have fixed this system if russia now it will not directly break up there in the next 10 years into a group of countries. well, on the contrary, it is being

cemented from the point of view of such an isolated, uh, authoritarian uh, country where the people will determine less and less, russia will look more and more like north korea and there is a problem in this, of course, but for us, for ukrainians, i would say this is the recipe, you don’t need to think and worry a lot about how long putin will live. less, more, or someone else should think about how to protect ukraine from any development of events in russia. this is the key question the problems will fall apart, they will kill each other, they will cut their throats , they will poison them, they will kill each other, they will kill each other, they will cut their throats, they will poison them, they will kill each other, they will kill each other, they will kill each other, they will kill each other. they'll deal with their putin themselves. and it's important to me. there are more of them here.

and here there is a problem, because the russian system is now trying to turn this war into such a war into a national war of the entire country of russia. yes, and in principle, we see. they say that everyone will be gassed. so you will all be held accountable. yes, we commit culpable crimes. yes, we kill women, men, children, but you also kill, you are also a part of this, what do you want? you have to be punished . to stop the war eh well, let's say after they already saw the shelling of the maternity hospital eh in mariupol when everything became clear and those who remained are complicit in this entire war crime against ukraine, the entire russian people have responsible for these crimes, not only putin, not only the top, those people who are citizens of russia

are in ukraine, i don’t see any of their speeches in front of the embassy, ​​even if it is russian, some speeches about russia’s position, they have adapted very cleverly, they keep their blogs, they keep their videos in russian, they tell the truth friends, you do not want to talk about your country at all, you are telling us about ukraine. that is, where are your eyes and actions, speeches, that is why i am very skeptical about the russians' ability to do something worthy of russia, they had such an opportunity in the 90s years, we tried to help them in 2005, i myself told more than once that the revolution was public, there is nothing to worry about, there is no need to change the reforms to be done . in 2005, that's literally 6-7 years, they used to talk with me about

different groups, medvedev's, putin 's, egebists, there, uh, there are a lot of different groups, they somehow discussed each other, then, as things got quiet, from 2007, everyone chose this path and took this path they have responsibility so that you understand most of the bureaucracy is now a special service, and now they are, this whole system is permeated with these types of people , special servicemen for whom there is no value in life, who are ready to kill, who are ready to get involved in this blood, all the russian people and tasks will be to blame for this of ukraine to protect itself from the next even attempts to attack our country. by the way, you talk about responsibility, uh, there really should be responsibility, and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, called on his european parliament immediately create a special jumper for russia, he said so, motivating his statement, we must act now without waiting for the end of the war to bring to justice all those who unleashed it, there is one more

important topic, but i will ask you to give a short comment on this matter, here is the european parliament create a special tribunal, what is necessary for this and what will it give, i.e. what powers will the tribunal have within the limits of the powers of the european parliament, see, i will say briefly, do it all, the tribunals need to come here everything but it will drag on for years, if not decades, it must be understood that this is not a decision one day ago, in my opinion, i have a completely different proposal what is international legal responsibility it is not only personal responsibility through international courts is it the creation of tribunals is it the responsibility of the country for aggression, responsibility is achieved through defense. that is, we have the right to self-defense. now, let me say, well, our official factors do not do that. look, we are shyly afraid. say what is happening at the airfields in russia, what is happening in what cities are we talking about cotton

there, well, they invented cotton, whatever they came up with i would say very much, we will not say, i do not know me, there is no confirmation of who is doing it there, but for me to do it officially, i would say with everyone partners look once more you will have strategic strategic bombers raised to attack people in ukraine infrastructure and energy infrastructure you will receive a massive strike on moscow once again the pyramid will be overturned there is such there is an opportunity, there is an opportunity, so tell them once again, try again, you will have an attack on the kremlin, and if they start threatening with nuclear weapons, i believe that this will end the war faster, nothing will happen, there will be no third world nuclear war, but
