weapons and it just shows that there are long-term prospects for our cooperation in the defense sector and assistance to ukraine. that is, it is also very important. well, of course, it is important to show the american society and, above all, who the trumpians are, and in the house of representatives there are a large number one of them went to the congress that it is actually worth helping ukraine, since we are, by and large , first of all, such a successful case , this is the success story of the united states in recent years, 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 unhappy the allies were that they were not consulted. ukraine is indeed a success story for the president of ukraine. it is extremely important, in addition to let's say it like this, paying tribute to the traditions of the american people and uh, the

president and the congress of the two pa- in fact, the two parties, and it is definitely important to say that we need help and more since we have not yet completed what is in front of us ukrainian victory and ukrainian victory. i hope that in his speech to the congress he will actually say whether he will repeat this formula of ukrainian victory, the formula of ukrainian peace, which is absolutely acceptable for ukraine. i mean the restoration of territorial integrity, this is when he says that everything should happen according to according to the un charter, these are the corresponding e-e contributions, this is also the punishment of criminals for what they have committed on the territory of ukraine. well, other points are extremely important - this is the future of ukraine's security. i hope that he will mention nato there and not just these kyiv compacts or some other very useful things, but which definitely should not be a

substitute for us to ensure our security in the future, and i think that he will also warn against complacency that weapons the money that was given to us, they allowed us to liberate a large part of the territory, and we will probably say it like this, this warning will be absolutely in the same line as the article of mr. and therefore it is certain that ukraine needs a large amount of equipment and assistance in order to finish off this abomination on our territory , mr. oleksandr, when we talk about the 44 billion dollars that were allocated yesterday for emergency assistance, as they say to ukraine , the congress of the united states of america, it is obvious that what is going on not only about what. literally, these 44 billion dollars will be spent on

military aid, 20 billion seems to be that half, and part of the money will be spent on replenishing the reserves of the americans from who provide us with these weapons, it is implied that not all 44 billion dollars will immediately go to the country in the form of aid, it is known that today during the meeting with zelensky, biden should announce about 2 billion dollars from which these non-patriotic anti-aircraft missiles will be purchased and then they too will not get to ukraine right away because there will be ukrainian military personnel who will be trained, as biden said, in a third country somewhere in europe, how to use these patriot complexes, but there is one more issue that can be brought to the attention of congress, this is what the biden administration wants to recognize russia as a state sponsor, but there is one

nuance, because daria kalyniuk wrote on her facebook page that they want to push through the congress the recognition of russia as an aggressor country that commits acts of terrorism , that is, it is not a country that sponsors terrorism, where is the clear legal definition that has it already has other consequences, such as the complete economic isolation of russia. well, and so on. those who work with russia are also, uh , outside the law. repeat the state sponsor of terrorism and the aggressor country that commits activism in order for this whole complex under which the countries that are the state sponsor of terrorism fall so that they are not applied to russia well, you know, there is one more bill,

in fact, two the senate's definition of what russia is committing in ukraine as uh-uh genocide, modern genocide. i'm not talking about the genocide of the ukrainian people in the 32nd and 33rd years, but of course the congress can accept it, because there are absolutely, well, all the reasons, but the question is in fact, this very status of a country and a sponsor of a terrorist is determined by the executive branch, it is actually determined by the secretary of state of the united states, and this , let's say, causes certain, let's say, legal consequences for that country, and this primarily means that this country is not can get help, can't buy weapons, dual-use goods, there are financial and other restrictions, and actually if the congress passes such a resolution, well, this may actually happen, but this will not mean that there are legal consequences for russia may come because this is what the

biden administration should do, why does it not want to do it? it is absolutely clear , first of all, that with russia, after all, there is a certain, let’s say, certain dialogue, first of all . we recently saw how this basketball player and mr. buta were taken out of hostages. they actually called him the death of the traffickers there and returned him to the russian federation, he is now becoming a political star there, and in fact there are still several american citizens who are there, and of course there are other interests, for example the same the same agreement on strategic offensive weapons that the americans want to extend there expires in two years. but it is clear that this type of agreement takes a lot of time to develop. i am not talking about the fact that there should be room for diplomats in this country. who manages it, what is the essence, it is in

other directions, so i am not sure that the biden administration, understanding that russia is not a sponsor of tourism, it is terrorism , it is actually a country that commits it to genocide as a normal everyday practice, but they are unlikely to admit it, alexander, this visit of zelensky to the united states of america is quite symbolic, because we see that putin is a person that no one wants to see on his territory . i am not mistaken, and in principle, during the great war between russia and ukraine, most of the countries were closed for him, the day before yesterday, he was in belarus, met with lukashenka, tried to agree on something there, he was in central asia when the summit was held, is

of the leaders of the asian region, what does this visit by zelenskyi mean for the whole world, that is, what are these markers, what are these markers, what is he demonstrating in relation to russia, in relation to ukraine? well, it seems to me, first of all, that he is demonstrating what biden said that this is actually a confrontation between the democratic world or liberal world and autocratic or totalitarian, which is the russian federation? and actually , ukraine will win or lose the whole war depends on what is happening. security is global because china is watching and learning lessons from the point of view of military equipment, well, that is, i have from strategy, tactics, as well as the reaction of the world to this brutal aggression of russia against a neighboring state, and it is certain that if the west

fails this operation and fails to support us and we cannot defend our independence and return all our territories, then it is certain that china has the opportunity to return its native harbor a-a taiwan and taiwan is an absolutely explosive point, it is a point and the most so shall we say confrontation of the global and definitely that can lead to unforeseen consequences traditional diplomacy by this they mean a nuclear conflict, that's actually one point, the second point is definitely what is er let's put it this way, support for ukraine from the point of view of the principles of international law, because it is not the use of force, it is contained in the un charter, not the violation of borders, it is contained in the final acts of 1975 and if ukraine fails to defend itself thanks to the help of our western partners, this

means that others can violate these principles. this is the first point. the second point is that only the rights of force are important here. i'm not talking about iran and north korea, but other states will think that they need nuclear weapons or some other weapon of mass destruction . because they have neighbors who encroach on their territory or their sovereignty, and that's why it is so fundamental to return all the territories of ukraine, including crimea, to the autonomous evolution the city of sevastopol and also unconditional guarantees of the security of ukraine. it seems to me that this visit is both practical from the point of view of money and weapons and ideological from the point of view of the fact that, however, it will not be a totalitarian regime to get away with these aggressions, they will be held responsible. we haven't reached this part yet. i mean, in a practical sense , only evidence is being collected for the future tribi-

tribunal. according to the geneva conventions, that is, war crimes and other crimes can be tried in european countries, that is, russia still has to go through this procedure and be defined as a crime, and there the last name of the criminal must be named, that is, all they are signals not only to ukraine and not only to europe, but to the whole world that the world order is based on rules, the world order has not yet been destroyed, it can be restored, and actually these investments, political, diplomatic, with money and weapons, are aimed at this, so that these principles start working again john kier bie is the coordinator of strategic communications at the national security radio of the united states of america said that joe biden intends to discuss with volodymyr zelenskyi his idea of ​​a just world that should end...

end the conflict in ukraine and he said that face to face he wants to discuss not only what the united states of america is doing for ukraine and will continue to do in the future, but how as a result to try to achieve what president zelensky calls fair yes, i understand by a just peace, i understood that way, i translated incorrectly by a just peace, do you now see any prospects that the united states of america can reach some kind of formula, well, on a peaceful one, to push volodymyr zelensky there to any negotiations, at least with the russian federation, or this is not being discussed now, considering that today putin and shoigu talked about the increase of the russian army, that the confrontation with nato and the establishment will continue, that is, is there a window

of opportunity now for that at least start this dialogue well, it seems to me that, you know, ukrainian society was afraid of some kind of backroom arrangements or some kind of pressure on ukrainian presidents for two presidents out of three administrations and thank god that now we are let's say so, we have absolutely clear confirmation that there is nothing about ukraine without ukraine this principle works, and let's say absolutely, there is nothing to worry about here, the second point is that the formulation of the ukrainian side about an unjust peace and about what points i said this is the un charter actually means the cessation of aggression and the withdrawal of troops from the entire territory of ukraine, including the autonomous republic of the crimean ministry of sevastopol, we constantly have to remind this will be some political scientists or former western diplomats, including

unfortunately, this kind of thinking is starting to work. well, let’s make sure that there is no war . i’m simplifying it. let’s leave something to putin, because he will say so . he will be embarrassed in front of his kleps. and for him it’s sacred. and let’s leave crimea. we will somehow renegotiate it there for centuries or there for decades, i don't know how they imagine it there. but with regard to other territories, we mean, uh, we will agree that russia will leave there absolutely. we do not have to agree to this, and i am absolutely sure that president zelensky will not even give the opportunity to be misunderstood that he is ready for such a thing. moreover, he has already stated to the ukrainian people more than once that we will also return crimea, so it seems to me that the issue can only be tactical, and it seems to me that it is definitely necessary to talk about the expansion of aid, about obtaining by ukraine

the means that would give the opportunity to strike already in the russian territory, literally two weeks ago, we heard from the american military that they no longer encourage ukraine not to strike russian territory, actually, russian again , i repeat, it is absolutely necessary that we need the means to destroy the platforms. it seems to me that this is an important element of the rapprochement of peace, since we have to destroy what will then be dozens of rockets and drones and other things flying at us, and russia has to understand that it is vulnerable not only from single ukrainian drones or missiles, as we saw, did the hungarians fly something, did it fly to the crimea or to the u. revise your policy of deterrence in relation to the russian federation, from the point of view of certain people, we are already the governor of the administration . i mean not biden, we crossed a number

of red lines, what does crimea mean, then this is the kerch bridge, and then it means belgrade , er, belgorod. i apologize for the periodic weak there they have five further because otherwise this war will drag on, otherwise we will waste our valuable resource of our own citizens and the russian federation will generate forces and will throw its meat at this ukraine it seems to me that when talking about the peace formula, it is better for mr. zelensky to focus on how to achieve it as soon as possible. and for this, we need to provide more help with heavy equipment and weapons . goals on the territory of the russian federation, mr. oleksandr, finally, there is news that the deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation, medvedev, visited china

, he acted as a postman and brought all the ding-pings, some kind of note from putin very let's briefly show medvedev and then your comment, we discussed issues of interaction between the two right-wing parties, between the communist party of china and united russia, we discussed issues of two parties in the interaction of our strategic partnership with china in all aspects, including finally the economy and industrial cooperation. these negotiations were eight times useful, notice how he says the conflict in ukraine, that is, we do not have a conflict, there is only aggression and military aggression of the russian federation. do you think that china will have enough strength and capabilities to stop putin even in the current situation in the development of this, as

they say, they are not getting what they want? secondary there or some other sanctions and definitely what they would like to keep from after the ballistic summit meeting with inpignia and biden, i think that they want to keep more or less this balance with the americans and that is why they will not help russia as it is russia wants to turn into a raw material appendage, it has always been like that in relation to the west, and now even more to china, china will buy more russian energy carriers, primarily oil and gas, there are more problems because the chinese have 22 lg terminals and plus the power of tsimbir and by and large , they need free russian gas, and on the other hand, the chinese do not need russia to lose this war quickly, because then the americans and europeans will focus on countering china as

such. therefore, it will continue there will definitely not be a special change to beijing's policy. thank you, mr. alexander. thank you for participating in the program. we are now watched on youtube and facebook, please like this video subscribe to our channels well, you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel under this video on youtube there is a sponsor button click it is very simple to do every one of your help is very important for us, tomorrow i will be on the air volodymyr hrysko - politician diplomat minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2007-2009 we will already talk about the results of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america and the agreements between zelenskyi and biden

reinforcements that came to the aid of the defenders of bakhmut managed to almost completely stop the advance of the enemy both in the city and on its northeastern and southern outskirts thanks to the fact that at the end in the last week, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed two large ammunition depots in kadiivka and significantly reduced the number of shots fired by russian artillery, around which bakhmut is concentrated the most at the front, at the same time our military note that it was under bakhmut that the occupiers for the first time during the war began to outnumber us in the number of drones and thermal imagers, which enables them to carry out successful night attacks in open terrain, the main battles are still ongoing in the area of ​​klychshivka and kordyumivka in the south and podgorodnoy in the north, the enemy began from the east destroy the dense private buildings on the left bank of the bakhmutivka river, however, the defense forces conduct successful counterattacks and partially repel the enemy from the residential buildings in the industrial zone, meanwhile, the

russian nazis completely occupied yakovlevka, which is northeast of soledar, and also advanced up to a kilometer to the west of belorovka and berestovo. in fact, these are the only successes of the occupiers at the front this week in luhansk, despite the fact that battles are taking place along the entire front line with a length of more than 100 km. there are practically no changes on the map except one but very significant zsu advanced no less than one and a half kilometers to the south of the flint , it is interesting that in this very place the gray zone not controlled by the occupiers was also reduced to one and a half kilometers, and the village of dibrovu for the first time in for several months, russian artillery fired at them, although the general staff has not yet announced the deoccupation of dibrova, but we understand that our military is already in it from the words of the commander-in-chief of the general staff, the general staff is already conducting one offensive operation and preparing another one. it is quite likely that this operation will take place in the luhansk region, however, not

necessarily in the area svatov kreminna southern front on the left bank of the kherson oblast ukrainian more accurate and long-range artillery continues to destroy the enemy and squeeze it as far as possible from kherson, which the russians mercilessly bombard with days of the armed forces very powerfully hit the kinburn spit that even russian propagandists announced a nuclear attack, in addition, cotton visited nova kakhovka kakhovka lazurne and skadovsk in zalizny port struck the hotel where fsb officers were stationed as a result, the russians announced the redeployment of some units from nova kakhovka and kakhovka in nizhny sirogoza, which is 60 km from the shots from the right bank, at the same time, the ground is being actively prepared for the offensive on zaporozhye, almost every day the general staff reports on the destroyed targets in the fields tokmak berdyansk and on the outskirts of melitopol , and rocket strikes on december 16, russia launched

the 9th massive missile strike to cause a humanitarian catastrophe and force ukrainians to flee. on december 19, the russian nazis used 35 rockets and conducted the most massive drone attack since the beginning of the full-scale war, as a result of both strikes, our air defense shot down 85% of the targets, i.e. 60 missiles and 30 drones, at least two more missiles fell by themselves in the volgograd region, in both cases the main target was kyiv, and also in 10 other regions, more than 40 flew to the capital missiles and 23 shaheds hit 12 missiles, probably s300, another 10 in kharkiv, and 10 missiles were shot down over the dnipropetrovsk region. recently , energy facilities in the bryansk and belgorod regions began to explode more and more often. enemies in more

detail about what is happening, let's talk with oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political observer of the information resistance ihor lapin, a special appointee, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine and a people's deputy of the eighth convocation, and roman svitan military expert, pilot, colonel of the armed forces of the armed forces in the reserve. i congratulate you, gentlemen. and you know, let's start with bahmut, after all, and my question will be for the first time to igor lapin. ours have received reinforcements that ours are pushing back little by little in bakhmut, eh, on the other hand, there is a report that one way or another there is 100 meters a day there every day, but the russians are advancing and, well, they have already entered the built-up area and even

captured the industrial zone of the plant there from the north of bakhmut , that is after all, what is happening, you can somehow to explain in more detail this entire history of the execution. the thing that the russians are most capable of is the so-called fire shafts. having a colossal advantage in artillery and ammunition for artillery, they actually destroy a certain square. they try to enter this square. once again they continue massive artillery shelling and when there is no place left for defense or for the shelter of our boys, in fact when we are forced to move a little move away from the artillery fire, they advance further. and in this way they try to push through the defense thanks to counterattacks. by the way , yuri butusov even showed one of them in a video recently. we are trying

to knock them out of the positions where the russians entered . there is no place to hide in those destroyed places, but you know that's the way it is. well, i would rather call the war not so dynamic as it is more static, and i have already repeatedly said that if we take the global sense the static nature of our armed forces in the form of defense on the frontiers is fatal for us , because the advantage in artillery will destroy our picot, and the infantry survives now only by exposure and in the ground without powerful counterattacks for possible interruption of replenishments for russia , and we will only be there to surround the troops and possibly in order to ensure more successful offensive actions in other areas of the front. well, i see it, er, to alexander, alexander's question, er, look, er, we know that it's close to bahmut

we also know that the wagners are standing there, and we also know that earlier they used such tactics that there were armored vehicles, that is, the infantry supported them with armored vehicles. support, at least that's what i saw, that's the assessment, uh, and uh. in this connection, what forces are currently opposing our defenders , only wagner, someone else, uh, and actually, what kind of action are they using, at the moment , because well, this one was changing the whole story is so today we can say that the main assault element is indeed representatives of wagner's private military campaign, as well as representatives of the league and
