we need to fix it somehow, work with it, i ’m talking now about the leopard 2 tanks, but we noticed that later let’s talk about you now about luhansk region and the possibility of implementing an offensive , so we understand that really, if there is a purely theoretical consideration, then really the movement of ukrainian troops after they succeed there to surround the matchmaker and the criminal, the next important border is starobilsk itself, which is the main line of support for all such luhansk group of aggressors in the area of ​​luhansk itself, therefore, the movement towards starobilsk looks like absolutely logical and in parallel let's say so with forces that can go along the russian border completely cutting off the supply lines and completely squeezing the group that is in our territory above starobyl and along the border, but we must realize that we actually proceed from what we have without the -e is limited reserves without

restrictions. i think that this does not happen now, the question of reserves comes to the fore, and when the same person talks about the fact that i don't, i don't, why are people waiting for reserves, first of all, on bakhmut, he says about what is actually, uh, i'm thinking about the next offensive and i need reserves, and i need them here actually. this reserve means manpower, or the personnel, or we are talking about the personnel and about those reserves, we are talking primarily about training, units that are fully equipped brigades with the personnel of the equipment and which can perform combat tasks, the question is there, er, there is ammunition, there is fuel, these are already logistical things, which i am in any case adding to the availability of a sufficient number of personnel that we understand that we are now er the defense security sector is almost a million and 700,000 directly in the armed forces, and we understand that not all of these 700,000 have enough weapons, so the

question of weapons comes to the fore, but when we talk about the offensive, when the soldier said that we need 300 tanks there are 700 bmp and there are 500 communities, so actually these indicators of them were related to me, rather, the offensive operation in the south, because there was a big article about luzhny then and zaporizhzhya, where they actually talked about the set of forces that is needed for cutting we are just about to reach the south now. i would also like to briefly ask about the leopard 2 tanks in the federal resources of germany in germany . olaf scholz, the chancellor, is being pressured in a democratic way. first of all, the legislators so that he is at the bottom and society also that he provide leopard-2 tanks for ukraine, if possible very briefly, how many of these tanks can be reached and how effective they will be in the field, well, now we have only a choice that we have exhausted all the soviet tanks from europe.

tanks that will be modernized with american funds in the czech republic and then the choice between american abrams tanks and german tanks begins. the problem with german tanks is that, apart from the political components, they don’t have the same ones, to be honest, they either have to be made new or to take production of new tanks somewhere from another country - this is 2-3 years, you have to wait if we are talking about the fact that we have to conduct offensive operations there already in two-three months eh, considering the political prerequisites for conducting such an offensive, then in fact, we can rather hope for american tanks, american tanks, the problem lies in logistics, because it is easier to fight on german tanks, because they are simpler, a little closer to the needs of the european theater of operations, so we think that now the question of tanks is really at the forefront, but we are not we know how this issue will really be resolved. well, in the

south, the information that the enemy may be preparing to retreat has been spreading for a long time, just as the information is spreading that the enemy is building an impregnable we can see the fortress in melitopol, the armed forces of ukraine on the map, in fact, every day, they target the accumulation of ammunition and equipment of the enemy, will these strikes force the enemy to retreat and move to other, as they say, early prepared positions? in the same way, i don't believe that the enemy can build on the criminal fortresses, this is actually let's say it is so figurative, such a form of speech, as i say, they say that we perceive these concrete pyramids there as an impregnable line that the enemy is drawing under melitopol in any case really due to activity of our artillery, both barrel and jet, we are now creating the prerequisites for the formation of the battlefield, this is actually a story that partially resembles the thing that happened just on the right bank of the dnieper and for all these strikes

with long-range means clearly have the goal of destroying logistics, destroying command posts, destroying ammunition stocks complicate the transfer of personnel, and this is repeated in the stage of formation of the battlefield, but based on this, the question arises that in fact this is the formation of the battlefield for the liberation of the south, first of all, they have a tight will be associated with the cutting off of the possibility of transferring any forces and means from the crimean peninsula, and then according to the logic of hostilities as an assumption. that is, it means that it is necessary to cut crimea and its parashas so that they do not provide for this group, then ensure the continuation of the destruction of the enemy's forces and then carry out counteroffensive actions with the use of these tanks, which zulazhnyi is talking about and expects. well , at the very end, the enemies spread such a field that the armed forces of ukraine almost hit kinburg with a nuclear bomb constantly in

there are no such weapons in the arsenal of the armed forces of ukraine. well, do you know what happened there? is there another act of volunteerism that needs to be explained? well, on the kinburg spit, there is a confrontation there . there are patrols on the people of kinburg, they are shelling our territory across the river dnipro, and actually they are trying to somehow influence the security of these sea channels from the ukrainian side, forces are really operating there of special operations, artillery fire is taking place in order to push the enemies out of there. and the fact that such powerful explosions took place there will be detailed at home later, but in any case. of course, this is not a nuclear bomb, but in any case, we are talking about the fact that there were good videos where is the testing

of our tam e copters with thermocouple ammunition, which have a sufficiently good practical effect. i think that the first steps of practical use, i think it is possible , are also taking place on the kinbur spit. and finally, let's talk for a few minutes about belarus now we will see on the map if there is a possible offensive this week and putin's visit to lukashenka speaks of this, and he is preparing to take lukashenko to putin, three areas are closed in the territory of belarus where the training is taking place, which indicates that the wagner command center is allegedly preparing provocations of shelling by the armed forces of the alleged ukrainian territory of belarusian territory, there is a lot of information, er, as a dry summary, what can be said about it, er, actually, er, we are talking about the fact that er, from the point of view of the landscape and prerequisites for the offensive, there are only hmm, there are five crossings on the section of the ukrainian-belarusian border, which is 1000 km long, and all these five sections of

transport corridors are under our control, this is from the point of view of our training, and on the other hand, in the border zone there are five battalion of tactical groups of belarusians, and there is also a group of special forces that can really carry out certain, let's say, about professional actions and the prerequisites for conducting offensive operations now and military intelligence and operatives say about them that so far such a group has not been formed, but in any at present, the attention of all the separate services there , i think, both american and ours, is attached to this part of the front, so that at home there will be no surprises at all, just as there will be no surprises with the advance of these armed forces to our territory, the potential is already absolutely different, there will be no surprise effects and i think that even on the contrary, if they miss our territory, it will be a good prerequisite to finally take real, practical steps to destroy those objects that have been threatening us for a long time. belarusian planes that are used for strikes on our territory, well, thank you for the professional, sober price for the situation on the

fronts. thank you for more summaries about our program, we will see in our next releases. well, i thank serhiy zgurts very much. what happened in the world what happened what did they do what did the world talk about ukraine yuriy fizer is already ready to start yuriy good evening good evening to you good evening to you vasyl good evening to everyone who joined our broadcast today about such new aid for ukraine, another meeting between lukashenka and putin well, the shooting and with human casualties in paris, about this and other things in a moment in the world about ukraine column well, but i 'll start with this, russia should have been deprived of membership in the security council of the organization for a long time of the united nations, however, this

should not be done now, as it could harm the very concept of security, the president of the european council, charles michel , said in an interview with the youtube channel rtvi, according to him, even before the start of the aggressive invasion russia in ukraine, this concept did not always work and could not help solve major international problems, but after the beginning of the russian war, the president of the european council says that it is worth thinking about a deep reform of the entire system of the united nations . this is necessary in order for the un to better take into account the balance of modern world order and it is really necessary because we are watching how the council meets, well, experts say that even at the same time it is very necessary to talk about russia and its crimes not at the meetings of the security council so that i testify, but there are no solutions, but i would like to. maybe if these solutions are reformed,

ukraine will have to win the war that russia started against it on february 24 of this year, and the countries of the west, at the same time, should make maximum efforts to help ukrainians repel russian aggression, the minister of defense of estonia said this khan nopevkur said while congratulating his compatriots on christmas, according to the head of the estonian defense department, a small country on the coast of the baltic sea sent us another package of military aid and these are drones ammunition individual equipment body armor and winter clothing well, at the same time, mr. pevkord added that ukraine still needs our help, and we formed this package in accordance with the request we received from the ukrainian leadership, and the country in which he lives is really small. well, a little more than one million people accepted the

about 100,000 ukrainian refugees and how much help they give us thank you to our estonian friends, the president of the united states of america, joe biden, signed the country's defense budget of 200,000 for 2023 information about this the press service of the white house announced that according to this budget next year, the american army should receive 850 billion dollars. well, this is almost 70 billion dollars more than last year. it is noteworthy that ukraine will receive 800 million in the form of military technical assistance. and 6 billion greenbacks are planned to be used by washington to deter russia in the european contingent, and i will remind you, and this is very important, that for ukraine this is only the aid that we will receive through the pentagon.

this is a completely different aid to ukraine, this is aid from the pentagon. for which we thank him. close all the issues on the agenda and sum up the year's work tomorrow, december 24. this is precisely why the self-proclaimed president of belarus , oleksandr lukashenko, is again going to moscow with a bow. this was reported in the press service once successfully head of the collective farm in russia, lukashenko plans to stay for three days, first one day will be in moscow, and then for two days he will go to st. petersburg, where he will take part in the work of an informal meeting of the heads of the member states of the so-called cis or will be in lukashenko another meeting with putin is not officially announced, but for some reason i personally think that they will meet and maybe they will talk about ukraine again, and maybe putin will again put pressure on lukashenko, who is constantly wagging his tail. of course, he does not want to join

this deadly russian war in ukraine. they want putin to be attracted to criminal responsibility for the fact that he called the war in ukraine with the word war and not a special military operation and thus fell under the influence of the law on the spread of fakes about the russian army with a corresponding lawsuit nikita yufiriv, a deputy of the smolensk district council of st. petersburg, addressed putin to the russian law enforcement agencies. according to him, the kremlin master did not announce the end of the sfo, that is, a special military operation, and several thousand people were already convicted for the words he said in russia. putin must be put behind bars. we all understand very well that this lawsuit will probably not even be considered in the st. petersburg court, but even the fact that such lawsuits are filed and he

is a little happy ukrainian pride, at least again about ballistic missiles and again about the fact that they were launched from the territory of north korea, at least two such short-range missiles were launched from a test site near the airport of the capital of the most closed country in the world. according to information, they were launched towards the sea of ​​japan, that is, to the east of the democratic people's republic of korea. but fortunately, they fell outside the exclusive economic zone of the land of the rising sun. to note that this year the north korean leadership launched 37 missiles during which it used 67 of them, well, that is, two at a time, approximately, well, that’s how it turns out . at least three people, unfortunately , died and at least three more were injured of varying degrees of severity, one

had to be hospitalized, this happened today in in the capital of france, paris, local mass media reported that a 69-year-old man started shooting today in one of the restaurants near the kursk center in the 10th arrondissement of paris . his motives are still unknown , the investigation is ongoing, however, it is known that the man was previously accused of racist acts and the use of firearms. well, somehow, even in paris, it is restless, even in the center of paris, it is restless, well, and finally, to the 45th president of the united states of america, donald trump want to prohibit from running again for this position in the future, the corresponding decision was made by the members of the special committee of the house of representatives, which is investigating the storming of the capitol on december 6, 2020

year, they recommended to american lawmakers to ban donald trump from holding any public positions at all, both at the federal and state levels, and all because he is suspected of inciting his supporters to storm the capitol. the former owner of the white house himself has already reacted to this decision. but in in his usual manner and in his own social network tramp softshell, donald trump called the publication of this recommendation a witch hunt well, when there is nothing to say and when you are given otaki publications, it is obvious that the only way this can be called a witch hunt. that's right, well, today i have everything in the column about ukraine, the world is starting to prepare for the next broadcasts, but you don't switch because we still have a lot of interesting things, we will listen to

people suffering from rheumatism . get used to it, it doesn't allow me to move. i tried everything. and at the pharmacy, i bought a yellow dolgit cream. it saves me from pain in rheumatism, relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. dolgit is the only yellow cream for joint pain and back cinema television sport music education free people have a choice choose what you want on megogo let's continue our tera reminds me of the name vasyl zima and now i will add to the conversation oleksandr kraev, an expert of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prizma p. i congratulate

you, oleksandr. good evening, i'm glad to see and hear you. i wanted to i would like to start with the unexpected possible and expected visit of alexander lukashenko to moscow, first putin flew to minsk, now he is going to moscow, i thought so what could this be about related expressed such an idea. i'm just voicing it for our viewers because it's a very interesting analogy. well, you already have your say. on december 30, 2022, the union of soviet socialist republics was not created, by the way, it was created in moscow at the first all-union congress the soviet union then joined this union for the caucasus republic, where armenia, georgia and azerbaijan were, ukraine and belarus. well, of course , ukraine and the caucasus are now inaccessible to putin , but belarus is completely within his reach. please tell me if this could be related with those in order to create some kind of fake union state, or is there some other goal, why is lukashenko being called on the carpet so soon, as they say, to moscow, please, in fact, to the state? we saw absolutely positive signals

from the side of minsk, that is, during putin's visit to minsk, we heard about the fact that lukashenko , as he said there, has a positive attitude towards the potential progress of the union state project, so it is quite likely that really similar plans continued to be discussed at the same time, we understand that lukashenko is still playing his role so to speak to speak of the defender of russia against western aggression by nato because even during the bilateral conference when he and putin spoke to the press, lukashenko repeatedly repeated the thesis that belarus is russia's western shield, this is a direct quote, in fact it is obvious that lukashenko does not prefer to enter into a war in during his term of office, he will direct part of the russian federation to ukraine, which will actually reduce his status to the governor of the federal district. but at the same time, we understand that lukashenko has very little choice such a decision was made because, in fact, not

only his political future, but his physical survival and the physical survival of his family currently depends on the submitted. and in the end we can only get by with belarus and it is not known whether it will be successful. well, we will see the main thing for us now, so of course lukashenka will not be pressed on lukashenka in moscow, because after all, this is putin's territory in order to force him into a ground operation . what else would i like to say now? biden signed a record defense budget of 800 million dollars for ukraine. in addition, we will receive other aid. how do you evaluate such a move? such a budget. and what does this mean in light of the current position of the united states? to finish off the enemy next year or to give ukraine the opportunity to continue fighting, but without giving , there are indisputable advantages, please, in fact, it is

very interesting, the position is emerging in the official rhetoric of washington, we see that on the one hand, support is only growing after president zelensky's visit to washington, we saw that the congressional budget , which was previously planned at the level of 35-39 billion dollars, has now grown to more than 40, that is, by some parameters, this is a very significant increase, and in fact, this visit made the expected impression. and this visit really gave us expectations the results of the increase of this support from the congress we also see 800 million dollars invested in the military budget of the united states. in addition, we understand that the americans continue to work to ensure that european countries and other nato allies allocated larger budgets and more support for ukraine, so in fact, on the one hand , it seems that the americans strongly want the fastest possible victory for ukraine, but at the same time, there were several inconsistencies in the rhetoric of biden and in general in the rhetoric

of the united states, first of all we had a misunderstanding about what constitutes a victory for ukraine, the americans constantly refuse and say that only ukraine should determine what is the limit of ukrainian victory. and when biden was directly asked about it, he actually refused to do so the question is also related to the topic of negotiations, that is, it is clear that our western allies, unfortunately, including the united states, may at one point or another in the 23rd year begin to put pressure on ukraine regarding the start of negotiations with the russian federation, and in this vein, in such a situation in we have only one way out , we have to be as active as possible to advance the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine , to contribute as much as possible to the fact that our allies provide us with the maximum possible weapons budgets right now, at this moment, and so that until the moment when our western partners will need, as they see it, to force ukraine to negotiate

, we were able to liberate as much of our territory as possible, we were able to win back as much as possible , that is, despite the stable and unwavering support of the united states, britain, and other countries, there is still a fairly strong power in the west that sooner or later ukraine has to sit down for negotiations, and therefore one way or another, but we need as quickly as possible, we need to liberate our territory as efficiently as possible, you know it is very important that putin now all of us, by our actions, by the meetings he conducts, by the order he signs , demonstrates that he is determined for a long war, as i read today that putin believes in the patience of the russian people, that they will survive everything although, of course, this people is not a nation 43- 42 years ago, these are slightly different people, a slightly different reality, and if you look at russian bloggers who ask people on the streets, people are very dissatisfied with the rise in prices and tariffs and the drop in the standard of living, but somehow it is not

broadcast on federal channels nubykalis then showed very well that he is ready for an all-out war and thereby gives a signal in ukraine to the west. and are you ready? tell me, please, what else is putin's rhetoric and saying that can really scare his opponents now, or is it really preparation for the spring perhaps a long war, not counting either human casualties or financial losses, in fact we see that for the russian regime, for the russian dictator, human lives, the loss of his economy, the loss of his army do not play such a role the meaning attached to it by, say, western leaders and he really understands that this difference in the psychology of losses, the psychology of the perception of defeat, the psychology of difficulties, let's call it that, russia really has a certain historical experience of what it means to lose a significant part of its population there and not react in any way because russia is currently trying to use the key

e-e plus that dictatorships have, the key advantage of autocratic regimes, and this is the absolute disobedience of people's views, their desires, their freedoms and their right to life, i.e. in fact, putin realized that he does not need to play with democracy, but even with a simple understanding of what human life is, what the value of human life is, he understands that he can now twist the nuts to the maximum and turn his country in the direction of absolute and total, i would say dark dictatorship and understanding this, he is trying to play this card with the west, he is trying to show the west by all methods that he is not afraid to lose millions of people, he is not afraid to suffer economic and financial losses , the main thing for him is victory in this war and therefore in fact, it is obvious that the west will be ready to support ukraine for quite a long time . unfortunately, it is also obvious that the west still believes in

putin's blackmail, he still thinks that russia can fulfill all its threats, including nuclear ones, and therefore, in fact, as in many other geopolitical equations, here we we have two components: military and diplomatic from a diplomatic point of view. we are currently actively working with the diplomatic expert and media environment to broadcast to the west . and here is the understanding of ukrainian victories that available in ukrainian society from a military point of view, our armed forces are doing everything possible to show that russian threats are nothing more than threats, they do not carry a real threat of any escalation or any worsening of this conflict, we literally have two questions of two minutes each, even a little less the first or biggest influence is putin's blackmail and threats against emmanuel macron and does he have any conversations and agreements with putin, please, if it is very easy , in fact, unfortunately, these threats are still on macron

influence, in principle, we see that the europeans are more perceptive to nuclear, especially nuclear threats of the russian federation, and macron is still trying to play the role of a negotiator with moscow because he sees in this certain geopolitical advantages of his own, but at the same time, as i have already said, the successes of our armed forces and the activity of our diplomacy will continue to demonstrate not only to the americans but also to the europeans that putin's threats do not make any sense, they carry with them a new geopolitical reality and therefore in fact, the europeans have nothing to fear, unfortunately, this understanding from macron to scholz to many other european politicians is coming very, very slowly. well, the last thing in iran was to threaten ukraine, they said that they will not tolerate the fact that ukraine accuses them of supplying russia with shaheds. they said that nothing they supply in no way with russia, they work in the defense sector, so let ukraine

, as they say, keep quiet because their patience is running out well, it looks a little different, but please tell me who can in the end to influence these rulers of the state of iran, please, if very briefly, the american and saudi sanctions are what restrain the soviet economy, this is what supports the early protests, and this is what will not allow iran, even in the short term, to support russia, but to keep its own system afloat, therefore, in fact, iran can say whatever it wants, it has already tarnished itself by cooperating with the aggressors, the dictator putin, and therefore it will definitely not get worse from our recognition of this fact, which means literally 40 seconds, i ask you. and how did you like the visit medvedev to china and says that after that china limited russia a little in certain economic issues and in principle showed once again that for him the main trade partner is the west , and there he plans to make money and buy, please understand. china has one and the same

geopolitical position. the countries that are around china must either pay tribute to china or recognize chinese supremacy or be a chinese opponent, obviously medvedev's visit was perceived by china as a visit of its vassal and he clearly showed this by statements on the next day and regarding cooperation with america regarding cooperation with europe therefore in fact russia simply increasingly recognizes its own vassal dependence on economic cooperation and with the chinese people's republic thank you very much thank you very much for your comments oleksandr kraev expert advises on foreign policy ukrainian prisma was in touch with us as one expert said, it is very interesting after medvedev's trip to beijing, where he met with the president, and which country's interests did medvedev represent there, and on behalf of which country did he initiate negotiations, that's all goes back to you know in the past, as they say , because, as in the past, moscow princes used to go for a shortcut in
