please inform us by the short free number of 116,000 from all mobile operators or write to the chatbot of the child search service in telegram, the complex will significantly strengthen our air defense, this is an important step in creating an effective air shield for ukraine, this is the only way we will rid the state of terrorists its main instrument of terror, the ability to strike about our cities , about our energy, about our people.

the patriots are going, they will be transferred to us, tell me if there is already an understanding of what modification they will be , how many batteries and what territory we will be able to protect with these systems. well, really good news, uh, and we see that, well, everything that happened today in the united states and a system that can significantly help our anti-aircraft defense well, as we see no statements regarding the modification of what kind of hinge will be, is it a factor or another? installations that you are currently showing on the screen are four containers with missiles, well, accordingly , there is also a radar, a command post and machine support, uh, definitely. this is

a breakthrough. too little, too, we are talking about several batteries, yes, one aive, two on sums, but this is a breakthrough, this is a proto path along which it will already be possible to take a bold step forward and receive and uh, in the future of this system, the question was about the political decision which has moved and we will already have air forces in service in this system. i 'm sorry, i just want as many details as possible to understand what we know for sure as of this minute, and you really said that there will be one battery. that is, from four to eight e installations and what else do we know for sure about the patriots, because the media is currently discussing the most modern variation - it is pec 3, but there is also a previous one. and you can explain the differences because, well, at least the

most modern one is twice as far, uh, missiles reach the target than, say , peg-2 is more about the effectiveness of the attack is increasing because it is more effective, it is more sensitive radars, it is better missiles, and the main difference is the ability to hit ballistic missiles with ballistic targets , uh, to date, there are no means in ukraine that can fight ballistic missiles, because, well, we know what is iskander , what is today? hmmm, russia already has deficits, so it is asking iran for football weapons, so ukraine desperately needs such weapons in order to protect extremely important objects in certain areas of the front, and in that including critical infrastructures from just from the parents, it is effective against ballistic missiles

as far as i can. well, before the broadcast, i got acquainted with the open data of pec-2, it is considered at least that it well, it was not calculated on ballistic missiles, well, in general, ballistics in itself is difficult to attach, it is necessary to understand that e- e missile that actually flies from space , so with that ballistic trajectory, it has a huge mass, it must be intercepted, be in the right place at the right time, and the same patriots there, well, 150 according to the aerodynamic for this purpose, the ballistic distance is even less, so ballistics, as i already said once, it is best to destroy it, after all, where it is, from where you launch it actually, but the patriot is the complex that will help not only with ballistic missile, what does the pacts associate it with, but it is a powerful complex that will significantly strengthen anti-aircraft defense against russian aircraft, as well as countermeasures against cruise missiles, so it is

necessary to consider it in a complex, how long can training specialists take we already have so much experience that says whether the ukrainians there are capable of mastering western western weapons, there were a lot of questions asked by foreign journalists, and there were literally hundreds of interview requests and so on. well, i think that we have all already proven that we can do it extremely effectively very quickly, we are talking about artillery systems, as well as those anti-aircraft defenses that are already in service today - they were ordered by the irish and nasamstag, it took several weeks for our specialists who, uh, went through certain countries, this is training and young specialists mastered it quickly, modern weapons, it is high-tech, and there the human factor is ultimately reduced to a minimum, therefore, er, it really needs training, but i think that er, we will not announce

those terms now. i think that our experts master it and nothing is done just like that, you know, if they couldn't, no one would sell it, so they master it, be sure, and then we just very often heard about the fact that it takes six months to study, we also know that all our partners, they, er, adhere to procedural there are fewer moments here, i assure you that there are fewer, it ’s okay and it’s an important moment, patriots, why is it a fundamental difference from the systems that we currently have, so this is already a medium-range installation, that is, if we are on sams-aires, which you mentioned and you we were told on our broadcast that it is conditionally short-range up to 40 km, as far as i remember, the average range is medium, that is, and now we have more long-range weapons, what does this mean for the defense forces, well, that is, we can now

shoot down e at 100 km m-m missiles 100 km from the target at which they are petriv 150 plus, well, that is, it is a system that is quite powerful in terms of range, in terms of efficiency, if we have an m1 book, and it is up to 35 km, the s375 complex is iristi, then it is also 40 km in range, so that already petriv up to 150, this suggests that e-e placing these systems on certain areas of the front, covering important strategic objects as well as objects of critical infrastructure, it is already possible to count on the fact that these complexes can at least drive russian aviation away from e- e borders and from the battle line clashes where tactical aviation often works and so on. therefore, it increases the capabilities of the anti-aircraft missile forces of

the relevant forces, it will increase them, therefore, it is extremely effective, and the enemy will take certain steps to counter it. and this is up to you, yuriy a short clarification for understanding, you said 150 + that is, what is the limit, well, 150-160 km, i mean it to you. yes, it is clear. thank you for joining our broadcast this night. yuriy , the ignorator of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine , was with us live as a sign of solidarity with ukraine, the most popular locations in the world are turning off the lights of the action, the head of the ukraine stage supported 62 locations in 19 countries today the lights were already turned off at the sydney opera house in australia, the christmas tree in the vatican also went out for a few seconds today, the roman colosseum, the buildings of the european union institutions in brussels , the parliament of scotland are joining the action the city hall of paris, the famous tv tower of toronto, as well as the main christmas trees of new york, london and other cities

, the light up ukraine company aims to collect through the initiative launched by president zelensky on the united 24 platform, $10 million will go to the purchase of generators for ukrainian hospitals. we are also continuing the visit of president volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states of america. next is the president's speech in the us congress. valentin glynykh, a political scientist, is with us tonight. we congratulate you. good evening . good night, mr. valentin. today in the morning , ukrainians woke up and saw such unusual news, why unusual because during all this time how the great war has been going on, president zelenskyi has not gone anywhere, today he is in the united states states, how do you understand the purpose of this visit and it is clear that a lot of security issues were discussed and planned. and why exactly did he need to go and be physically present

there? well, i think that it is related to the issues that will be considered, and to those people how will it be discussed, so mr. from the order, what is necessary is the presence of zelenskyi, this directly indicates that very serious, as i would even say, fateful issues for ukraine will be considered, this is one point. well, the second point is also about this constant, i say that the situation in ukraine is probably stable thanks to the efforts of the ukrainian armed forces. well , it has more or less stabilized and no longer needs such constant vigilance on the part of the president that he has there. well, just the style of his constitutional duties well, but the key point, i still tend to think that it is related to the subject of the

discussion and the circle of those persons with whom these discussions will be held in the united states of america valentina but interesting point er, as reported by the official speakers from the white house. yes, but on the condition of anonymity and with the information until this morning, it was not possible to publish that joe biden invited president zelensky to visit washington at the beginning of this month on december 14. the decision was approved. accordingly, we understand that it was about a week on preparation, that is , the same visits. they have been preparing for a long period, obviously there has come a certain hmm limit that we have crossed in this war that the need for just such a personal visit and personal the meetings are probably still the same, and besides, it is still necessary to note that, judging by this

, zelenskyi and baida have formed some kind of rather warm relations, even what you are showing now confirms this, and this is also a very important factor when you talk face-to-face, well, if you want, there is magic, chemistry, whatever you want to call it, but it plays its role. well, the cart was definitely being prepared, and i think that it was being prepared in the mode of maximum secrecy , because in fact, well, that was about it until yesterday no one spoke. although i am sure that the embassy of ukraine in the united states of america and the embassy of the united states of america in ukraine worked a lot on this. the cabinet of ministers of ukraine, and i tend to think that it is possible and the corresponding deputies are responsible for

foreign policy activities, so i tend to think that after all, this visit is dictated by the need to personally discuss the issues that in other circumstances or was irrelevant. as you pointed out, yes, that is, in other circumstances, um, or well, it still requires a face-to-face meeting and cannot be compensated, you know, by modern means of communication, but requires direct presence. well, and besides, again, this is a strong how about me, they can still know when they want, well, zelenskyi’s step, that they handed over biden’s award from the ukrainian military, yes, this merit with thanks. well, for the hymers, yes, for what, for this contribution, well , of the american people and the american government to strengthen our defense. i think that there has not been such an award in biden's collection for the entire work of his one-year career, and i think that this will also set him in a positive mood and, well, it will

contribute to a positive solution to all those issues that will be discussed . we talked with you about a year ago about that, and here is a ukrainian, the united states, when ukraine will be called a partner in washington, yes. following the example of israel, it means a strategic partner, a close partner, we do not see such agreements now, uh, again by analogy, probably with israel, but on the other hand, is there a need now for such a documentary record if we see at what level the two presidents communicate well , first of all, it took a lot of time in israel to form this partnership, that is , it did not develop in one year and also a lot of moments the americans had to take simply on the fact, well, that is, well, israel was moving in

its format, and the americans, well, somewhere they agreed, somewhere they disagreed, but in the end they still found a balance of interests , so i think that with ukraine it is somewhat similar the situation we have our own interests the united states of america has its own interests or are they identical no they are not identical or do they coincide in many points yes they coincide in many points and precisely at those points where they coincide and you can build this strong foundation for further strategic cooperation and i am sure that we are moving in this direction. as for the formalization of these relations, i am inclined to think that there should be formalization despite the fact that today we have such well-enough productive personal relations, but still personal relations are very good when they are positive, but still between state relations they cannot be reduced exclusively to personal sympathizers , so i tend to think that in the future,

probably in the near future, we will see how these relations between state, which are definitely to a large extent owe their warming to their development and personal relations between the presidents will be formalized in the mass media, circulating information that the president will not be limited to a visit to the exclusion of current states they mention that the president may visit our other allies, in particular great britain. do you suppose such a possibility? listen, after the president's visit to bakhmut, well, after the president's visit to washington, i do not rule out any possibilities, that is, let's say it would not surprise me. will cement our coalition. what is this anti-putin coalition? how much more will it encourage, and

maybe we will see some decisions in favor of ukraine, in particular, on the transfer of weapons , and maybe the circle of parliaments will expand. they recognize the russian federation as a terrorist state, definitely and inevitably. that is, if i understood the dynamics, for example, and well, it was very difficult to move this process from a dead point, but after it has moved and is only gaining momentum, and it will not be possible to stop it, all these desperate efforts there by russian diplomacy, even diplomats, it is difficult to name them, they will be absolutely useless, i tend to think that according to the results of this meeting and possible meetings, the level of support for ukraine will only increase and, accordingly, the level of the pressure on the russian federation will also only increase, volodymyr, and to what extent this shows that the war that russia has unleashed in

ukraine affects the whole world, so that the town of bakhmut in the east of our country, washington already knows where it is and they actually have many others, but let's go it is bakhmut who is now on the defensive and thanks to the unconquered bakhmut, life in ukraine continues. president volodymyr zelenskyi called on all ukrainians to support bakhmut and his defenders. the head of state personally visited the city on the front line before his visit to the usa to to support, express gratitude and present an award to ukrainian fighters, we will do everything possible and impossible, expected and unexpected, so that our heroes have everything necessary for victories, for the results that all ukrainians expect, that all our cities and villages on the front line expect, this maryanka is

vugledar this is toretsk, this is soledar, the tick is our luhansk region, this is our south of ukraine, this is our crimea, ukraine, nothing of its own will be left to the enemy, salt is like steel, a heroic struggle, the village of armor for bakhmut and soledar received a new slogan, in addition, the symbol of salt, which is depicted on the coat of arms of akhmut, a crosshair like a crosshair for the occupiers should mean only one thing. each of them is under crosshairs and will not be able to escape fair punishment for the murder of ukrainians and crimes against humanity. political scientist with us tonight, now volodymyr, talking about what is happening in the east and how it is are being discussed by world leaders, including we understand that the situation in donbas and in the south was probably discussed in crimea by president jabaiden and volodymyr zelenskyi

, and we often hear in the media that there are certain fears of further advancement of ukrainian the troops are afraid of the kremlin's reaction, although today biden was asked about the escalating effect of the patriots. he said that he does not see such threats from the kremlin from russia because it is a defensive weapon, but that ukraine is ready to win. what do you think, well , at least in washington they understand it, they absolutely support it, that is, it seems to me that this discussion is somewhat speculative, well, sometimes it is simply produced by journalists. well, like the western media, and i think that not without the help of the russian special services, well, in order to pretend as if this is a subject of discussion , the issue of restoring the territorial integrity of the state sovereignty of ukraine is not a subject of discussion

and, clearly, the legality and legitimacy of ukraine's use of all types of weapons to achieve this goal is not a subject of discussion. today i saw about how there is supposedly some support and a russian woman talking about the fact that, well, is it really impossible to agree on the fact that we can shoot spain, they shoot at us? no, we we understand that this does not happen in war, that is, if they strike at the base, we will strike in the same way, and we will use all the tools available to us for this purpose. by the way, in this context, the interview that took place today with mr. baby, yes, the head of the security service, is very revealing of ukraine and he said the same thing. he said that we will use all the tools available to us to achieve our goals of protecting the territorial integrity and state sovereignty of ukraine. by the way, there is another very revealing moment.

very symbolic i also wrote about it literally well today in germany there was another sentence of one of the guides of the nazi regime 97 years old grandmother and she was brought to justice and robbed she was the shorthand of one of the commandants of the concentration camps and was accused of complicity and the death of well more than 10,000 people therefore, when today the kid says that they are collecting evidence and documenting and establishing all the persons involved in the commission of these crimes , well, it means that this retribution is inevitable and it is absolutely legal and it is legitimate, it is not a subject of discussion. that is , it does not look like that. let's talk about whether it is necessary to punish those people who committed crimes against humanity or war crimes in ukraine. it is not clear. this is not a subject of discussion. well, the same applies to the use of weapons. the americans have repeatedly said that everything what we give to the ukrainians, the ukrainians can

use on their own schedule to achieve those and solve those military tasks that the relevant command considers necessary. so, today, another huge list of what the united the states provide us with some kind of military support. we heard that on the eve of the meeting between presidents joe biden and volodymyr zelenskyi in washington, valentina. thank you. volodymyr glynykh, a political scientist, was with us live. we are moving on. the leader of the united states, joe biden, said that the states will help ukraine as much as this it will be necessary, in particular, to protect the airspace, mr. zelensky, you have made it clear that you are looking for peace. we also know that putin has no intention of stopping. the united states of america wants to make sure that the brave the people of ukraine will continue to fight against russia's aggression as long as

it is necessary. i am waiting for the opportunity to sign the decision on 45 billion dollars of additional financial aid, the meeting of the leaders of ukraine and the usa, a historic event about this for his head of the presidential office, andriy yarmak, together with the minister of foreign affairs, dmytro a colleague is part of the ukrainian delegation that came to the united states together with president volodymyr zelensky andriy yarmak is confident that only victory is ahead oleksandr pavlychenko executive director of the ukrainian helsinki union for human rights with us tonight. we congratulate you. good night, good morning, mr. oleksandr. we can already see a smile on your face. the meeting of volodymyr zelenskyi with joseph biden and about the president's speech before the congress, what effect will he have, what effect will he have and what will be our decisions later, ukraine

is very much looking forward to what will finally happen without the united states decided and legally established the status of the russian federation to recognize it either as a terrorist state or as a state sponsor of terrorism. do you think that this visit of president zelenskyi brings us closer to such a decision? this is indeed an issue that has already been discussed on various platforms and we know that in fact an approved decision, for example, by nato member states at the level of their parliamentary bodies, when the parliamentary assembly of nato states adopted such a decision regarding the establishment of the status of a state that sponsors terrorism under the russian the federation and the actual e. then the question arose about the possibility of recognition by the u.s. congress

and the state department of definitely consolidating this decision a-a hmm with the e-e united states of america of russia e the russian federation as a terrorist state and i think that such a diplomatic move i will remind that the president made the first trip since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the russian federation in ukraine from abroad, and this is actually the first trip to the united states of america. i think that this emphasizes the importance and importance of and uh, the topic of uh, fixing for russia such a status as a terrorist state and uh, in fact, pushing it under the status of a criminal state, an aggressor state, because a terrorist already means , in fact, uh, committing, that is, criminal acts of

terrorism and, accordingly, a state with such a status -e has the corresponding e-e sanctions list of restrictions e-e regarding the supply to it of goods of both military direction and dual purpose, respectively, but i apologize for just a time limit until the end of the hour, we have time to talk with you, but an important moment e-e for data american journalists are now talking about recognizing russia as an aggressor country, not a risk or a sponsor of terrorism, but rather an aggressor. they say that for now such a step is somewhat symbolic. the definition of a on the legal definition, since this will be

the first step in order to form a mechanism for holding ourselves accountable, we are talking about a tribunal that will hold accountable a state that will have the status of an aggressor state and according to the highest officials of this state , they are talking about it now on various platforms, and we talked about the fact that the same parliamentary assembly of the council of europe and the european union adopted such decisions regarding the creation of a body that would bring to justice precisely for crimes of aggression and, accordingly consolidation of this status at the political level, and the u.s. congress and the state department are well, a very high level of consolidation of this status and, accordingly, then a step to the un general assembly is possible for that in order to confirm this status and in fact this

political decision will already acquire a legal continuation in the formation of this instrument of prosecution. and what do you see as the difference between recognizing russia eh, well, on this status as a terrorist country or an aggressor country eh, this is eh first of all, it is connected with the fact that today the status of a terrorist state has a clear definition and, accordingly , the aggressor state has no such definition, this will be a political definition if we are talking about a terrorist state. and securing this status for russia, this will mean a corresponding set of steps that has already been formalized and that will require the united states and the states that work together with the united states in compliance with these requirements

to limit cooperation with a state that has such a status and, accordingly, to isolate and isolate this state as much as possible according to this civilized world, when we talk about an aggressor state, it actually means at this level the adoption of a political decision that could later be transformed into such formal steps, i repeat that now formal steps will not immediately follow this political decision and, accordingly, it is necessary to see in what direction further movement will be made. that is, we are moving to a special tribunal on the issue of aggression
