. patriot complexes that will help us close the sky over ukraine, meanwhile, putin and shoigu announced their plans for war with ukraine to a colleague of the ministry of defense of the russian federation it is known that the russians want to increase their army by another 350,000 people. medvedev, as a courier, brought a message from putin to the leader of china. meanwhile, the russian troops continue to lose manpower, and which in ukraine, as of the morning of december 21, russia lost in ukraine already 99,740 people in just the last day, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 510 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 32 tanks in ukraine, 5,979 armored combat vehicles, 1,972 artillery systems,

412 multiple rocket launcher systems, 212 of air defense equipment 282 airplanes 267 helicopters 4608 units of automotive equipment 16 ships boats 653 cruise missiles 1688 drones 178 units of special equipment so zelensky in washington, russia is increasing the size of its army to 1.5 million and putin is preparing for a long war with ukraine , we will talk about this during the next hours with us at the major general of the security service in the reserve of the former deputy head of the sbu viktor yagun p general good day good health to you glory to ukraine heroes glory to the good health so, mr. general, today volodymyr zelenskyi left for the united states of america, we will wait for the results of zelenskyi's meeting with biden - this is the first

visit of the ukrainian leader since the beginning of the great war, meanwhile, a collegium of the ministry of defense of the russian federation was held in russia, where plans for 2023 were announced, in particular putin talks a lot about what human losses and human tragedies mean to them, as he said, we know that the number of those who died in ukraine is almost 100,000 tomorrow there will already be 100,000 dead, and if you multiply by 3, that is about 300,000 of those who suffered sanitary losses, and what putin said about these losses is already obvious .

it will pass and eventually eh finally eh combat actions military actions are always associated with tragedy from the loss of people this we understand very well let's submit ourselves to this report well since it is inevitably better today than tomorrow i think that everyone present in this everyone understands perfectly well what i am talking about , and putin and the sheikh said what, rather, the sheikh said, and putin agreed that their army would be increased by 350,000. this is the second increase in the size of the army this year . army 1 million in august 1 million 150,000 and now they want to increase the number of their armed forces to 1.5 million people, mr. general, according to your feelings, how much more

puting are russian soldiers ready to put in ukraine in order to win at least some kind of victory or at least to demonstrate to the russian society look, he has no restraint, this is the kind of phrase that explains everything, i.e. there are no boundaries, there are no numbers about this person, she can go to the end. can throw into the crucible of this war more and more of these servicemen mobilized in this way, trying to hold back i don't know a day or two , a month, six months, a year in office, and he clearly understands that if only he stops throwing and to support this war, he will have

huge problems, and these problems may end with him losing power, and not only he understands this, but his whole environment , so they will go to the end, this applies not only to the manpower, this also applies military and technical support and the same missiles, and that is why we can count how many missiles they have there or how many of them there may be, but they will go to the very end, including using even those stocks who had ideas to leave there, due to unforeseen circumstances, the increase in the number of the russian army and the attempt, as shoigu said today, to close the northern flank of the russian federation from the expansion of nato to the east, it is meant there , he said, the creation of the leningrad military

district, another military district in order to oppose the north atlantic alliance, what does this mean to increase army for 350,000 people considering what we see or at least we hear the assessments of military experts regarding the readiness or training of those people who come to the russian-ukrainian front. the soviet army after world war ii numbered more than 5 million. i understand the efforts to close all the holes in them now that will be exposed from the border with finland. it is about 1,600 km and it remains completely uncovered in them when even some units relocated closer to ukraine in order to use them in this war with us and it is clear

that uh, taking into account the forecasts in the month of january or at the beginning of february, finland and sweden will finally become members of nato and thus all their leningradskaya is the so-called region or what they want to call its district and the baltic fleet, which is completely closed in its internal waters in the gulf of finland, so an increase of 100,000 to 200,000 to 300,000 will not solve anything, they extract these resources of society. by the method by which a normal state should do this, what does it mean, for example, 300,000 are mobilized, that is 300,000 healthy normal people, well , plus or minus, who were torn from the economy of society

and who do not produce any product. and this product must be replaced with something and how will it be possible to replace less and less money in the budget and this is how it is at every step. they will increase the number of the army not at the expense of the conscription, they will increase it at the expense of the contract workers, they will try to the extreme here although there is still a way to increase the length of service of servicemen in such service in the army and thus follow the path of the soviet reconstruction of the soviet army, it can be increased by two years to three years. well , why not in this way? you will be able to do anything with them, well, once again well, i emphasize that the problem is not that, not the people, the problem is what to

provide for those people, where to teach them, where to recruit officers and sergeants, what equipment and weapons to give them, they don’t have that, that’s why their problem not ours, today putin said that he personally made efforts to get closer to the civilized world but it did n't work let's see putin wanted to be the honor of the so-called civilized world and that's after the collapse of the soviet union hmm which we allowed with our own with our hands, why did it turn out that from day to day parts of this so-called civilized world did not wait for us, and looking at everything, i found efforts and demands . so

, the representative of the russian horde says that he wanted to be civilized, but this world did not accept him. no one wants to see him around, and he today he also said that there is nothing to reproach him with, we have always considered the ukrainian people to be a brotherly people, i still think so now that what is happening is of course our tragedy, our common tragedy, but it is not the result of our policy, they are the result of the policy of other countries, third countries that always strove for the disintegration of the russian world to a certain extent, they succeeded, putin said , mr. putin’s desire to constantly expand the circle of those with whom he is at war, or at least to show that the great field of nato against

the whole civilized world is against us, and ukraine is only a tool. this is still a desire to explain to the domestic audience why the russian army cannot work effectively on the russian-ukrainian front , or why the russian army entered ukrainian territory for three days of the state, and it's already the 11th month here. i think for the internal, no one simply takes seriously everything he says. well, what does it mean? we tried, we were not accepted, there were clearly defined priorities and parameters. if you want to go there, please do this and that in front of us. they also set certain requirements, do you want everything to be among normal countries, please , you have to fulfill it, accept it, reduce it, get rid of corruption there, i don’t know, fix

some branch of the judiciary and everything goes well. well, why were the baltic countries able to do it? they were also in the same situation the soviet union, but they succeeded because they had the will and they understood where they were going, and russia, as it was, remained in the imperial in this wasteland, she did not get out of there and all the accusations. well, everything is clear now, after ukraine, she will start to blame well, there is already a trend azerbaijan because they don't like that they directly contact who it is there kazakhstan kyrgyzstan well let's try to find a couple more of these china they are afraid because they understand that china can simply respond but the countries around it let's make them all enemies again. let them, uh, shut up in themselves, let them find what they want, but

the best thing is the collapse of this empire, they themselves started it. you want it, you don't want it, you have to. that's it. as putin said, i like it. i don't like it, but now with regard to the russian federation, on the day when putin met with lukasz, actually, any decisions or plans regarding the participation of belarus, greater participation of belarus in russian aggression were not announced at that time, general naev says that there is still a danger from the northern flank of ukraine and , accordingly, from the side of belarus, and this danger continues to exist, and we know that on february 24,

russian troops entered from there. airfields, the whole country was under air alert. i mean our country, you don't evaluate these opportunities as you do now, and most importantly, the situation in which lukashenko or not lukashenko, and someone instead of him, can decide that the belarusian army will join the russian one and physically cross the belarusian-ukrainian border. well, i have repeatedly he spoke about it, they can cross the border but this will be the last day of independence of belarus in the form of a state because uh, whatever it is, but it is the army of belarus, it is a good one that must obey uh, the head of state if he was called there, if we didn't refer to him and this is the last

such bastion what is still behind lukashanka's back, he can be so hip-hip-hit a little, but he is and if we get rid of him and what is 40,000 e-e is, well, a significant number of people who can enter. well, they do not have the experience, they do not have the motivation, they do not have anything else, but they will bring to our land the same as those russian troops who entered at one time from the north to us, i don't even doubt that we will be able to stop them and uh break it up, but what will happen next? no one can say that. and most likely, belarus as an independent state can disappear , and the fake will remain because it is very profitable for russia to have, for example, in some

international organizations, one more vote, by the way, it existed for of the soviet union, the voice of belarus, ukraine, the soviet union. i think that this vote will be preserved, but the state itself is its currency in the police, special services, the army. it will all simply dissolve in the russian empire, and this is exactly what putin hopes for. which can extend his life and into power or for some certain period of time, but he is now doing everything to stay in power, at least for some more period. but the fact that he has no prospects of victory despite all his rattling of weapons, good forms of a bunch of generals, you know all this after those

10 months in ukraine, no one takes it seriously anymore, not in the world, not in ukraine, not even among his close partners, mr. general i i know that you are monitoring the situation in neighboring moldova. and you know how the situation is developing there, what is happening there on the day of the meeting between putin and lukashenka, the secretary, or rather the director of the country's intelligence and security service, oleksandr mostya, stated that according to their data, in 2023 , russia intends to to invade moldova a day after that, the minister of foreign affairs in romania denied this statement, said that there are no such threats, or is there now a threat or an opportunity for the russian federation to enter the territory of moldova and in this way create one more front for ukraine well, let's not

turn this statement into a joke, because you know i already started answering there yesterday everyone asked me yesterday i answered yes it's possible but the only thing left is to take the bank, remember well , after bakhmut, the next one will be moldova , let's be seriously, they were unable to complete the path they had planned for themselves, and moldova is behind ukraine and in fact under such a watchful eye of romania, yes , for sure. at this stage, nothing is in danger , even if it is not the same, it is possible to attack from the north, who is there ? there plans or not the contingent that is located on the territory of transnistria and is subordinate to the russian federation is planning to have from one and a half to 1,700 people .

will they join in any military operations on the territory of ukraine or something, they will be destroyed, simply destroyed and the situation will be radically changed, but the situation there is completely different, 2/3 of these servicemen are citizens of transnistria and, accordingly, moldovans, which are simple have russian passports there citizens have three and sometimes four passports have to pass transnistria have a passport moldovan have a passport russian federation and some have a passport ukrainian so that's the story and so on to the end simply no one listened to this director seven moldova seven moldova is a security information service, it is an analogue of our security service of ukraine, no one listened to it, it was just theoretical schedules , it was necessary to do well, as in the original, i just looked at what he said there, he clearly

said that everything is theoretical if ukraine is not it will be enough if ukraine, god forbid, will stand. and we will help everything for moldova is more or less positive, the situation was proposed to be resolved by ukraine from transnistria, because the continent of russian and transnistrian troops totals about 15,000 people, the city of all military personnel there, from the power structures , it was also offered very clearly, if there was an aggravation of the situation, ukraine offered moldova to put an ultimatum in front of this contingent and extradite it through moldova, i don’t know, in some closed wagons to send through the eu countries, i don't know kaliningrad, for example, yes, and close this topic once and for all, moldova was afraid to go to this one, this issue will be resolved because

they believe that if the issue of transnistria is resolved in this way, they will issue an ultimatum to force them to surrender russia can start bombarding not only ukraine and its moldova with missiles, but also moldova, there is no possibility of a possibility and it cannot cover it even with elementary levers, that is why they are still holding such an indirect e neutrality, thank you, thank you, mr. general, for your participation in our program. this was the major general of the sbu in the reserve of the former deputy head of the security service of ukraine viktor yagun, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks, those who are now watching us on youtube and facebook please like this video so that it can be promoted in the trends of youtube and facebook, and those who are watching us now on youtube

p.m. in the capitol, where the congress of the united states of america is located, and at 2:30 in the morning zelensky will speak at a joint session of the congress, let's quite simply explain to our viewers what will happen during this first foreign visit er after the beginning of er the beginning of a large-scale war, zelenskyi's first foreign visit and a visit to the united states of america well, i think that this is definitely a visit of extraordinary importance, both symbolic and practical for ukraine.

fortitude means other great qualities, and we are already the country of the year according to icons and times magazine and so on, that is, it is a tribute to what happened, actually made by ukrainian the people are for the sake of their future, their freedom, their democracy, and it will certainly be such 5 minutes of fame for mr. zelensky, which he 100% deserved, first of all, with his phrase that i need ammunition, not a trip, yes , it is important to bring it up there, but it will also be important for to show president biden, first of all, to the americans and actually to his opponents, who criticizes too much spending on ukraine, what you are looking at is the leader of a european democratic country that defends itself from the largest nuclear power , thanks to the fact that we help it with weapons money for political support, that is, he will also

have certain political dividends from this. but the most important thing is definitely something else for us. a year of aid for us, and it is 20% more than this year. well, 20% is 8 billion. i am not talking about the 800 million that are included in the defense budget , that is, they are not counted here, and i am not talking about other articles of aid, of course that we we are waiting the announcement that ukraine will be provided with petris and this is important not only because this system will protect the ukrainian sky from russian planes and missiles, but it is a high-tech weapon shows that the united states trusts us so much and that we have a mutual understanding that it will be so

important and high, let's say, technological weapons. it simply shows that there are long- term, let's say, prospects of our cooperation in the defense sphere and assistance to ukraine. that is, it is also very important. well, of course, it is important to show the american to society and above all to the trumpians and in the house of representatives, a large number of them entered the congress, what is actually worth helping ukraine ? let's remember that in fact the withdrawal from afghanistan was called a failure by some of biden's political competitors, and i'm not talking about how it happened and how dissatisfied the allies were that they were not consulted in ukraine indeed, a success story for the president of ukraine is extremely important in addition to let's say

thank you
