6:04 pm
worked for him for 9 days on the farm, he paid me uah 1,100, and i went back here, and i will be whole. well, it’s cold in the refrigerator, green christmas trees, i’m just not running from the war, i’m running now from the cold, you see, i think you’ll live on, they promise you will they arrange it somehow? обецает меня volya i don't know there этот как его будут смотреть нет между быть циганим as the saying goes, i'll roam the earth come on, people have evacuation to our army, there's a casting, no
6:05 pm

6:06 pm
6:07 pm
so . they got dressed and took the documents but they had already arrived they had already changed their minds but grandfather would not mind going but he will not go without children we will try next time commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi asks president volodymyr zelenskyi to sign the law on strengthening the responsibility of military personnel this bill was recently adopted by the verkhovna rada and literally immediately, a petition was registered on the president’s website. as of now, it has already received almost 34,000 votes, in which zelenskyi urge not to sign this bill and to prepare it; the authors of the petition believe that in the event of the law entering into force, the military command will, as it were, receive unprecedented leverage of blackmail and punishing military personnel with prison practically for any criticism of their decisions, even if these decisions are incompetent and
6:08 pm
based on unsuccessful combat management valery zaluzhny stated that he supports the relevant changes to the legislation, adding that this law provides for increased criminal liability for the military, in particular for arbitrarily leaving a military unit at a place of service or a battlefield, or even desertion , disobedience and failure to comply with combat orders. i support the relevant amendments to the legislation adopted by the verkhovna rada of ukraine and ask the president to sign the law. my opinion clearly reflects the position of the commander of the group of the commander of the military units who demanded a systematic solution to this set of issues, the army stands on discipline and if the gaps in the legislation do not ensure compliance, and restorers can pay a fine in the amount of up to tens percent of combat pay or receive a sentence with probation, is it unfair or is it
6:09 pm
really a bill, which live broadcast joins myroslav gaia, officer, volunteer, military journalist, i am very sorry because of problems with phone communication, but nevertheless i am glad to welcome you to svoboda life good evening good evening myroslava what do you say about this draft law, you would say which one on whose side, on the side of those who ask to cook, or on the side of the industrious one who says that it must be signed, i am sure that directly, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine publicly appeals to the president with a request to sign this bill, and the commander-in-chief has all the information that is happening in particular in the troops and in the country, so i think that he has serious reasons for this in
6:10 pm
our country, over the past 9 months, a large number of people have been mobilized, they are different people, some of them are professional soldiers, there are some who have never served in the army before, except for the emergency service there once upon a time. of course, this is all connected precisely with the fact that we have the fact that we have the fact of armed aggression of the russian federation and it is in the full-scale full-scale conditions in the form that we have created various new units new the actual types of forces, such as the territorial defense forces, let me remind you that people signed up there and often they were people without military service experience at all, but the circumstances are such that
6:11 pm
they are all forced to be either on the front line or in the area of responsibility of our brigades and battalions to perform military duties the task is the same, er, myself, for the law - the bills regarding the modern passing of service in the armed forces of ukraine, and they have not been reviewed for a long time, the last such bill was signed, i am not mistaken , in the 21st year, it concerned the center of the territorial centers of recruitment and passing service in the reserve and there except there there except e-e improvement of service conditions that is, all the laws considered the improvement of the possibility of improving service conditions and the modernization of e-e standards of passing the service in the armed forces
6:12 pm
of ukraine, but there it was also considered increasing responsibility for, for example, certain actions that a serviceman could do to cause harm, for example, since soviet times, we have not reviewed such a simple elementary issue as the loss of, for example , military documents . contact us , miroslav, this is a question, see human rights defenders are actually also very critical of this law, for example just the other day, the coordinator of the media initiative for human rights, olga reshetilova , said that i will quote her, she says that the bill contains a lot of nonsense, but the biggest one from her point of view is the strengthening of the criminal liability of military personnel for committing war crimes and depriving them of the right to a fair trial do you understand the fears
6:13 pm
of human rights defenders, what are they based on? i don’t quite understand what deprivation of the right to court means. i will tell you that at the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, of a separate legal group that deals with the protection of the rights of military personnel, in particular, and those who have committed certain actions there. it is a crime, and there they make sure that their rights are preserved. more than 700,000 people were mobilized there, these are completely different people, they were issued weapons , these people are not only in combat conditions, well, this is the growth of society, that is, there are people , er, more or less hardy and psychologically, who are minorities, there are various incidents especially often there are incidents with metal
6:14 pm
handling of weapons, for example, or the occurrence of skirmishes or conflicts on some uh, tax, on the household level, everything is the same as in the ordinary life of a ukrainian household, so only at the same time, military personnel have weapons in their hands , various cases occur and uh, believe me in our units, not only investigations are carried out in such cases, but if , for example, a military serviceman was detained, for example, by the military service of law and order , then our lawyers, for example, guys, in particular in me in the brigade is trying to provide all kinds of legal assistance so that the rights of a serviceman are preserved, you understand. that is why this issue is urgent, but i am sure that if the commander-in-chief decided to publicly appeal for support for this bill, it means that he has
6:15 pm
reasons to do so. that's what i wanted i would also like to ask you whether you personally fear that the signing of this draft law will lead to some kind of total discontent of the military and, for example, somehow affect the wishes of ukrainians go to the army well, for example, if we talk about the same volunteers, because you know, not every petition collects 25,000 in a few days, agree no, i don't think that uh, i don't think that uh, that it will somehow affect the majority of people who wanted to go volunteers went to the front in the 14th year, and after february 24, 2022, all the others are mobilized people who are mobilized in accordance with the current legislation by our military commissariats, which are now called recruitment and social support centers.
6:16 pm
believe me, the armed forces are a cut society and there are different things, it happens that people end up in the army, people who have, for example, some criminal inclinations, yes, there are cases when accidents happen, unfortunately, tragic and different, and all of them are cases when a person, for example, is not morally stable, throws at his comrades, for example and he avoids er er er performance of his official duties, there are different cases, on the contrary , cases of heroism, so those cases when a person heroically defends ukraine, then takes a breath, should not be awarded, they are awarded, for example, by state with awards and those cases when a person from one or another circumstances committed crimes and did not fulfill their official duties they must be punished otherwise there really won't be discipline, these are quite clear things, you understand that way thank you, unfortunately, it's already time thank you very much myroslav gai
6:17 pm
, officer-volunteer a military journalist, we talked - we discussed a bill on increasing responsibility for military personnel, thank you words of thanks, showing off alleged economic successes, and a home dinner about this, the meeting was like the meetings of vladimir putin and oleksandr lukashenko lukashenko has already escorted his russian guest, who, by the way, for the first time in three years personally went to the belarusians, why and with what putin left minsk, we will talk further, but first we will remind you of the chronology of this visit. bouquet at the negotiations, despite the recently completed military exercises near the ukrainian border, the leaders of the two countries assure that their main goal is the development of the economy, energy
6:18 pm
projects, science and even the space sphere putin is gassed by the trade between russia and belarus, in particular after the invasion of ukraine, our currency goods i want to underline this for any events e-e within the framework of a special military operation grew by three and reached 38.5 billion dollars well in 9 months of the current year in 10 grew by another 10 er by 10%. polukashinka invites the world to join russia belarus russia belarus is open for dialogue with other states, including the european one i hope that soon there will be heard voices together defense of democracy and progress with the help of restrictions and military
6:19 pm
force in relation to our states no longer impresses even local voters who fulfill the shortcomings of such a police . we fixed our price, it's a good deal, eh. for us, russia helps a lot in this regard , so no details for the public. special thanks to you, and not only yours, for that вы программы свое обечание мы сегодня, we put on combat duty the s400 complex that you handed over to belarus and the most importantly the iskander complex, instead, putin announces that he is not interested in absorbing other countries, previously military analysts
6:20 pm
stated that he would try to persuade lukashenka to participate more in the war against ukraine in in russia, there was no interest, they absorbed someone. it's simple. there is no purpose of imagery, it's theses from our fugitives. but not a couple of thousand ran away there, money has to be earned, and they just don't pay anything. that's what we throw in, they don't even write them in front of the cameras. lukashenko still mentions joint training with russia and military capabilities , the emphasis is on soviet aircraft. and the training of our crews capable of carrying special
6:21 pm
anti-aircraft weapons and special ammunition , i owe you the fact that we have prepared aircraft, it turned out that we have soviet-era aircraft - we tested them in russia федерации мы сейчас вместе с россиянымы готовим крепей capable of operating these planes carrying specific ammunition hours of communication accompanied by a delegation putin and lukashenko held a personal meeting, what remained behind the scenes is unknown however, analysts of the institute for the study of war believe that putin was not able to pressure lukashenko, according to their data, lukashenko probably rejected the efforts of the president of russia, we are all aggressors, the most harmful , toxic people on this planet. we only have one sport, who else is vladimir, what am i
6:22 pm
i'm already starting to think, what is he, when he decides that it's the same thing, that's it. maksym grabovskyi , serhiy pautov, radio svoboda na ukrainian authorities believe that during his visit to minsk, vladimir putin tried to persuade alexander lukashenko to send belarusian troops to war in ukraine, as stated, for example, by the secretary of the national security and defense council, oleksiy danilov russia will do everything possible and impossible to force lukashenka to participate in the war, at the same time danilov lukashenko says that he has no great desire to go to meet putin and expressed a similar opinion andriy yusov, the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, according to him, if lukashenko still has not allowed himself to be dragged into the war, then the son of self-preservation has not yet left him. well, here it is only worth reminding that, despite the fact that the belarusian army does not physically take part in the war on the territory of ukraine, belarus actually fulfills the role of rear support for russian troops, lukashenko admitted that belarusian instructors train russian
6:23 pm
mobilized troops, and from belarusian airfields, russia launches missiles and drones at ukrainian objects, including civilian and civilians, what did putin leave minsk with ? lukashenko personally visited minsk, what do you think about it? well, i think that this is still the main issue that was discussed and resolved at this meeting. due to the fact that lukashenko allegedly did not go there to meet with putin, he refused him in this plane, he lived in some way to make decisions.
6:24 pm
yes, he is a tame poodle today, that is perfect. it is obvious that on the eve of february 24, 22, many experts expressed the opinion that there would be no attack on ukraine on the territory of belarus. you will remember that they made a public statement about this high-ranking belarusian officials, including the minister of defense, and in the end, ukrainian officials confirmed by judgment that they were deceived and called it a knife in the back, how could they and so on and so forth, you understand, therefore, they believe the words of these people, in no case should they not watch that lukashenko was not speaking there we know that the continuation of this war was discussed behind closed doors, the active participation of belarus in the aggression against ukraine. well, do you have a feeling that lukashenko pressed putin? well, you know. of course, there is a lot of pressure here, it is not necessary here, judging by the fact that lukashenko announced that
6:25 pm
a number of economic issues have been resolved, in particular , there has been a long restructuring, yes, and that a tripartite three-year agreement on the purchase of russian gas has already been concluded. yes, that is clearly not at the highest price , it is obvious that they have already bought it. yes , they offered him a suitable style , some pills. they are also forgotten that already the top leadership of ukraine is saying with one voice that this will happen in january , a concert in january, february, that is, they can somehow postpone these dates, but that putin will continue to attack ukraine and will advance in that including from the territory of belarus, but it seems to me that it is obvious, this is his tactic, now he is bombing
6:26 pm
civilian objects and infrastructure. ukraine, that is, i understood that you personally analyze their statements, their meetings, er, understanding some chronology of previous events, you personally have no doubts that lukashenko will give the order to his army er, um, to start a war. well, i think there are two options yes, that is, it can be an attack of the russian army on the territory of belarus. yes, that is what the experts say now. there is no possibility of preparing a strike group to visit the territory of belarus. experts who do not rule out that this is a shock copy, it is already ready, it will be in the far east, it will be easy to quickly transfer it to belarus, and here it will be an attack. that is why the military experts are kind to me.
6:27 pm
looks zatologische yes, that is, it is not necessary to form all of this on the territory of belarus, but what about the belarusian army ? the military does not want to fight, he is well aware that he is hated by the belarusian people, the army is part of society, and there is also a lot of love for him. there is no chance. if the army enters the territory of ukraine, there is a high probability. i am almost sure that half of the army he will run away, he will simply surrender to the ukrainian servicemen, and then he can come, including to the belarusian volunteer units , for example, to pol kalinovskogo, and at a certain moment he will return to belarus to liberate and in order to liberate her dictatorship, lukashenko herself, that is, he sees this scenario, he knows perfectly well that this can happen and of course he is afraid, but nevertheless he has
6:28 pm
no opportunity today to refuse putin if he needs 15-20,000 belarusian soldiers who can serve today - to single out the belarusians, they will go there, maybe they will be the first in the second mouse, yes, the belarusian military is telling us that it is possible to send them to the occupied territories in order to support them there, this is such an occupation the mode is not unlocked, such a scenario, natalya, one question. now, look, everyone is talking about that, the commentators who comment on this topic, about the fact that if lukashenko does get involved in this war, he will commit suicide against himself, will it really happen his political suicide is not, of course, it will be his suicidal step because this is the last trigger that will trigger the belarusian society, and people still hate it, and the hatred has increased because the life of belarus has become even more difficult and it is not only the economic sanctions that are still hitting
6:29 pm
the economy hard today, in fact, people’s lives have been greatly reduced, people have become impoverished. in fact, they are still doing mass work. plus, the harsh repressive regime means they live in fear today . in fact, the country has turned into such a big concentration camp, the agency is happening every day. irisovyvaet people in any way we don't care about and put them in prison for huge terms, where they subject them to torture, so of course we can't live in such conditions. how long does this last? situation how long will belarus endure and if the army is sent to ukraine and then they will return in plastic bags to their homeland in their families and if ukraine strikes military objects what does it have the absolute right to do, what will the situation in the country be people are further from the church, i am not confident, i am afraid that there will be a serious crisis and there will be new uprisings in the country
6:30 pm
. what is happening in belarus, thank you. well, as my colleague already mentioned, the participation of belarus in the war against ukraine based on the results of the meeting between the presidents of russia and vladimir putin and alexander lukashenko remains unlikely, such an assumption is just today made by the experts of the american institute for the study of war in their current report and there also continue to believe that belarus is unlikely to enter the war against ukraine well, you just heard that natalya radina, my previous guest, has the opposite point of view, but we are now talking about the whole story let's discuss with a military analyst veteran of the russian-ukrainian war oleksiy hetman joins our broadcast
