and that there is another network of airfields, but in general they have a decreasing potential for aviation snaring. and at the moment, it is gas 101 and x-55 that are the main working missiles next to sea-based caliber missiles, but the caliber is getting smaller and smaller and they do not have time to produce such a large number which they would need in the end, their strategic potential decreases but at the same time, the 43 daggers they have cannot be ignored. this is quite a serious weapon against which, unfortunately, there is no defense so far, that is, mr. peter, do you agree with according to the statement of our military and the secretary of the national security and defense council, that the russians have 3-4 massive missile strikes left of

this stockpile of missiles that do not carry carcasses and ships of the black sea fleet, if the total number of missiles is calculated in measures of 120-130 missiles, then something like it is, however, i have to emphasize once again that the russians can produce both the first and three 14-caliber up to 41 calibers per month, which is quite a lot, in my opinion, we are entering the zone of prolongation of large events, that is, conditionally if october, november, mid-december they happened with a frequency of from one week to three, then in my opinion all this will be prolonged and prolonged and prolonged starting from three to four and five weeks and so on, but at the same time, despite the fact that their strategic missile potential is so undermined, it is too great regret has not yet been canceled, i.e. to reassure ourselves that everything is over with us would be

foolish and unwise, some potential remains in them, and remembering that, as putin himself said, the rat has already been driven to smoke on the dangerous wolf before the death agony they are capable of using absolutely everything i would not cancel such a threat these days to st. petersburg, mr. peter, there is an informal summit of cis leaders and lukashenko is already meeting with putin again during the last few weeks, uh, they met today at the museum at a working breakfast , they talked about the year 2023 as year in russian and, among other things, about bilateral relations between the russian federation and belarus. putin says that some issues should be discussed every day. let's see how it all happened. отвежат как вот русского языка, therefore

, it seems to me that today at the working breakfast at the russian museum you are not allowed, by the way, and it is a good environment to talk, including serious matters, including our bilateral relations, although we are in constant contact with them мене жизнь каджид день er-e gives us reason er-e to discuss some issues to make the necessary decision so that they can be solved effectively you see two er-er war criminals murderers met in the museum of russian art to talk about bilateral relations, it is obvious that future plans for ukraine will be discussed there. it all looks so cynical now, in your opinion . will putin have enough strength and arguments to persuade belarus to

participate more widely in russia's war against ukraine , because belarus is an accomplice in the war? russia against ukraine, uh, starting from february 24, will there be a continuation or will the troops that putin brought to the territory of belarus move towards the ukrainian border, well, in my opinion, 50x50 such a threat i would not cancel but for in order for their military group in the land part to become truly serious, it must be increased to at least 40,000 personnel . .5 thousand vehicles of the corresponding classes and most importantly up to 900

units of barrel artillery and also mandatory air cover only then this group can be truly dangerous for us type 15,000 personnel who are there now, who do not have enough weapons, primarily in terms of artillery, not to mention the aviation wings, which could enter our airspace and cover this, their rub was everything that enters, it will inevitably be a great threat to us on this they do not represent for a minute, that is, whether it will happen, well, this is actually guesswork on coffee grounds, or putin is pushing, pushing and will push, you actually have to save your face first of all and show in front of your population what you see, i am not alone, i have allies who are ready for me support, if at this moment the belarusians and the russians dare to cross our northern mannerheim line. and this is already the ukrainian mannerheim line, it is very serious, mined and

fortified, then they will have trouble, it will be an act of suicide, but we remember, as the great ron said, the closer the collapse of the empire, the crazier their actions and they are actually capable of absolutely everything. will there be a ground strike ? will it be annoying will it be annoying or will it be painful but the course of the war will not change in any way thank you, mr. peter, for participating in the program it was petro chernyk, a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel and also on our social media networks on youtube and facebook for those who are watching us now live on youtube, please like this video and subscribe to our youtube channel. well, friends, you can become sponsors of our youtube channel under this video, you can find a button called

sponsor, and there is a fairly simple procedure for helping our youtube channel . further, we are in touch with ihor lapins, a special officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation , majora. good day. i wish you good health . glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glad to see you on the air well, let's start with engels, who is in the saratov region, because the spokesman of the air force command yuriy ignat said that after the explosions on the night of the 26 in december, the russians redeployed a part of the engels airfield in the saratov region, but in reality it is unlikely to hit the airfield with cotton and cause heavy losses, after all, a fairly large number of russian aircraft are still on

the territory of the russian federation and are a threat to our armed forces of ukraine and the territory of the ukrainian state according to you, mr. igor, can and does the ukrainian state have the ability to transfer the war from the territory of ukraine to the territory of russia well, at least at the airfield well first of all, the political will is there, and we see that we are starting to work. of course, we do not officially recognize it. but we are not, well, in order to say it once again, no one there is hyped on those topics, including. by the way , in the russian federation, we do not forget that they hate us more than anything in the world, but as long as such attacks continue, we see the inability of the russian defense forces. and this very well undermines the authorities' trust in their army on the part of the local population, including the local population. well, what we have is engels-2. of course, this is not yet

chornobayvka 13 but nevertheless, i hope that this will be repeated regarding the capabilities of ours. well, if you know, once upon a time, a man who was not completely crazy still agreed to the demand and transfer more than 100 strategic bombers to the russian federation, because the others are the same as mine deep conviction, thinking not quite correctly , people said that it would be better to have some kind of strategic bombers and missiles in russia than they would be in ukraine to a young independent state, for some reason the world regarded us as bigger the danger that we will do something with those bombers, that is why russia really has a very large stockpile of strategic bombers , including those that we transferred outside of the budapest memorandum . also, they also have hart missiles of a certain modification, are they legal military targets targets on the territory of russia for our armed forces of ukraine yes, there are still and we will continue to do so are there legal targets for

military targets on the territory of belarus for us for ukrainians i believe that there are or are we today strikes no, we do not raise the question why is this again a question of political will and i think that this issue was also studied at the meeting between zelenskyi and biden, at least it should be discussed because the threat from the side of belarus has not disappeared anywhere and all the classics of the theory of warfare talk about that the enemy's troops must be struck at the moment of assembly and not at the moment when they have already deployed, we are waiting, we believe that there will be no attack from belarus well, that's what our pink ponies in the form of room seers say that there are not enough shock groups from belarus well, what can i say? i believe that in order to harm us in the future, to finish off the russian army on the territory of donetsk region, luhansk region , zaporozhye region and kherson region, including in

crimea, no matter how many russian groups there are together with the belarusian group , they are enough for us to be very upset the nerve of the forces with which we are now keeping almost a thousand kilometers of the belarusian border on the line , where they will go and so on, it does not matter anymore. the main thing is that belarus today acts as an ally of russia in a covert full-scale invasion of the russian army, including from the side of belarus, and for me personally, it does not matter for the military. predicted a possible offensive by the russians in april 20203 and the russian media and the german media wrote about the fact that moscow is counting on minsk to help, various scenarios

are described there but in principle we know that western media do not usually describe these scenarios by referring to their sources, we remember a year ago when the american press, and the german press, by the way, also published maps of how the russians will attack ukraine from three sides, well, pretty much so were skeptical about this and commented on it skeptically, what do you think of the current forecasts and current calculations of the german press and these calculations, should they be taken seriously, that in april 2023, with the support of minsk, moscow will begin a new, new stage of the offensive. you are right noted in order to weaken us in the east and the roosters on two fronts. well, i think they

will do it. perhaps even earlier than in april, based on the objective situation of keeping the troops that are already mobilized and continuing the mobilization resources of russia, they are quite large, yes continuing this mobilization, what is russia doing today - they are unlikely to be there until april because they have a bitter experience, how they mobilized a bunch of people and drove them to field camps, and as such, a couple lived in field camps months and that they entered the territory of ukraine at the end of february, that's why i think that after all, the forecast for april for me is, well , let's say it's not quite accurate. i think that it will be earlier, especially speeding up this process of re-starting a re-repeated wave of our offensive will just accelerate the process of defeating the russian troops. in other directions, and why do i say that if we preemptively develop what is on

the territory of ukraine today, then the second wave of attack will not be done on it. and if we do not do this, then the second wave of attack will be to be based on the basis of these forces that are already in the territory of ukraine and they will simply be supplemented with fresh mobilized and freshly collected troops, not in a hurry, but with parts of the armed forces of the russian federation. laughing laughed there, they despised thereby humiliating by the way, the victorious actions of our er-e armed forces of ukraine that well, they are fighting with alcoholics of some kind over there well, what’s the matter here, well, go put 20-30 of these foreheads there and we will laugh together, i always said so to the people who say this, i emphasize once again that this first wave of mobilized troops, which we added to the units or placed to cover those units, which are more combat-capable russian armies on the territory of ukraine, the occupation forces

are meant, that is, the first wave we of course shot down and they are demoralized and untrained there. what are other mobilized people doing? they mobilized not 10, not 20, not 30, but all 300,000 . the territories of belarus are dressing up and calling out and let's not forget that there were about 500 tanks in belarus. even there they gave about a hundred to the russians and 400 were definitely left. so the question now is not even lukashenka 's. the decision to engage the belarusian direction is made by putin in the same way as the decision to engage belarusian forces, the more belarusians were caught together with the first wave that invaded us in february , and this and this have a lot of confirmations . to an occupying tank, will it be the flag of a russian aquafresh? will it be the

green and red colors of the russian and belarusian flag? these are the occupation troops, and if someone crosses the border in a tank, then it is the occupier and i don’t care what color his flag is. it became known last week that russia will increase the size of its army to 1.5 million people. we remember that the soviet army had 5 million people, that is, putin is trying to increase the number of his army by another 350,000. according to you, how should ukraine react to this ? what we have to do, that is, do we have to teach all the people who are on the territory of ukraine how to handle weapons or do we need to teach how to shoot and be ready for the fact that this entire horde will sooner or later enter the territory of the ukrainian state because the answers, as a rule, to these to this

increase, will sound approximately like this, now with another war, and therefore, in principle, the number of manpower is not the same, the main thing is technology. guys it's been 9 months. in the trenches under bakhmut, to be honest, i don't understand where the position of the minister of defense of ukraine is going. once i emphasize, let them tell this to those who haven't been out of combat for 9 months that they don't need a rotation, that everything is enough, you know the teroborona troops who are still barefoot and without shoes, that is to say without armored vehicles, they stand in a line today, in the same line as the

motorized infantry units, which are equipped with, let's say, the latest equipment, yes, that is, western weapons and so on. i remember very well what the teroboronov brigades went to war on the territory with there is a dangerous donetsk region and so on. i remember very well those volunteer ruins , half-demolished jeeps. i remember very well how they answered us that you don't need any armor on your hands, you will carry out the wounded because you are the defense, well, you are not a motorized infantryman, you understand. to be honest, i was silent about this. well, to be honest, it started to get to me a little because my boys are also on the front line and are fighting, and they see what the teroborona is fighting on foot, volunteer vehicles and kalashnikovs, no matter what they say, they usually put them as well. in the same first line as other units that have armor and artillery, of course, other units from the right to the left should cover those who are standing next to them with artillery and so on, but you are asking

how much metal for the removal of the wounded is currently in territorial brigades of territorial defense motilyk is such an armored vehicle on a track that can in this weather in this mud take out the wounded, but ask how many there are in each brigade, do you understand today by saying that we do not need to carry out mobilization, we are actually depriving ourselves of a reserve and a mobilization the reserve of the russian federation is about 25 million and putin will fight to the last because today a defeat in the war in ukraine is death for him and he will continue the war for him for survival, and those who today say that we do not need mobilization because we have good technologies, go to the ground defense forces, which are at ground zero, today i had a conversation with guys from under the lysychansk region, they say that we is panicking, but frankly says there is little rotation left, and it is not even visible, that is why putin will continue to mobilize,

putin will increase the number of troops and then send wave after wave to attack our positions. and we will talk about high technology as our the ships are dented spaces of the world ocean, we still need to go and tell the customs and our officials why did they prohibit the import of quadcopters by volunteers, this is so that the troops on the front lines are more blind , additional requirements appeared, additional papers are required to go through the circles of hell nowhere in europe is a quadcopter considered double nowhere in america is a quadcopter considered a dual purpose, today our officials who are responsible for the movement of goods across the border mean the relevant services have issued circulars and today a volunteer cannot bring a quadcopter. is this nonsense? well, people are collecting money for those drones. what are we? these are our eyes of our art. all tv channels are eyes and art. let’s collect for drones . only at customs, we need to decide together with customs officials and together. with smugglers, we

lived to the point that now, during the war, some official will regulate us with some circular, and he is not afraid to receive criminal proceedings from the security service, and using the opportunity, the security service of ukraine why can't quadcopters be imported into us as much as needed, here is my appeal, and we hope that your appeal was heard by the security service of ukraine and the office of the president of ukraine. i think that these are definitely two centers that can make such decisions and at least cancel some stupid decisions er, meanwhile, putin, putin, er, communicates, well , at least that's what propagandists say with children from the zaporizhzhia region, he apparently called an eight-year-old girl and asked her for cucumbers, let's see how it was. hello how do you like

santa claus, hello, what were you doing there today yesterday? yeah, what are you doing there? at all, i swing dumplings for him. the flow is delicious. well, there is no fragment where he asks her for cucumbers, but lambs . santa claus. and to push through the zaporizhzhia region, they are making a grandfather of lenin out of him, who is still trying to communicate with the children. what do you think , or in russia? a gentle, gentle grandfather, in my deep

conviction, a person with signs of a pedophile calls children. this is a little alarming. - this is the association series , it is not going anywhere, it is the same thing, the second point that i want to say for our viewers on well, against the background of the fact that there will soon be, as they say, the holidays continue, so i will give a report on the territory of ukraine, santa claus our santa claus doesn't go to that sepert together , or rather, our saint nicholas together with his ally santa claus were wiped out and he is more around ukraine, then santa claus doesn't come around, we don't have anything. that's how we have saint nicholas , santa claus, his ally p igor e the issue of negotiations is being chewed up by the kremlin again and the

head of the ministry of foreign affairs of the russian federation serhii lavrov said that ukraine will not make any compromises in the negotiations, moreover, ukraine's goal in the war is to defeat russia on the battlefield, to inflict a strategic defeat on it, let's look at one more grandfather lavrov of a triumphal visit to the middle-aged states, zelensky declared a fair world, this is no compromises, this is exactly what we are guided by now, and its master is no compromises, we will dictate our will. so that no one is offended, this is what they are actually saying, the specifics of the moment today, the

former head of the ministry of foreign affairs of lithuania, linas linkevich, said that russia needs negotiations not about ukraine, but about its own destiny, what are they doing now they are negotiating with the whole world about what the future will be like, at the same time, the foreign minister emphasized that in moscow it is time to think about reality, because the current russia may not exist. putin quite often says that we are ready, but ukraine is not ready, of course they have their own proposals to yes called negotiations. do you think it is possible at all and under what conditions at least some contacts between the leaders of the two states through political and diplomatic means, no conflict in the world on planet earth has been resolved where russia thrust its snout into what lavra is saying today, well, this brad sat down and mares or horses explain why because for them the main thing is to prove

jurisprudence between the recognition by international norms of the possibility of the strong to take a bite out of freedom, you understand the weaker and here, a strong great russia attacked peaceful ukraine, which in principle did not threaten nuclear the guarantor country of the budapest memorandum stupidly took and cut off a certain part of the territory of ukraine, and i want us to compromise for them that we will allow them to bite off the same amount and in a couple of years come and eat the whole again ukraine, the world understood it. unfortunately, president zelenskyi, in my deep conviction, has already made compromises with the russian federation, and my thoughts are based precisely on those 10 steps of peace for ukraine. step number one in this text, named by president zelenskyi, is that we should deprive russia of the opportunity to threaten us with nuclear weapons blah-blah-blah and further on in the text, but in none of these 10 steps did i see ukraine's constitutional course for

membership of our country in nato, that is, i did not see nato umbrellas in these 10 steps i didn't see anything there, even if i say so, some journalists wrote that this is the algorithm of the budapest memorandum, you understand, but i already carry those memorandums and if there is no nato umbrella in these 10 steps for the peaceful existence of ukraine with such a dead neighbor behind the fence, then this is a question for changes in the constitutional course of ukraine, and this worries me very much, so today, using the opportunity on my youtube channel laping from ukraine, i just wrote and did the following, which means, well, fleas, where did he say tomorrow after the war, so what will happen tomorrow after the war, where are we we will be tomorrow after the war, and this is the main issue that torments all ukrainians, so i believe that it is possible to talk with russia only when the threat ceases to exist, and the threat from russia begins to cease to exist only in

the case of the demilitarization of this country, this is the first moment, the main moment, the second moment in general the existence of the empire should not be on the world map, and the right of indigenous peoples to their self-determination must be developed and supported, because today chechens are fighting on the territory of ukraine, dagestanis are fighting, buryats are also fighting ethnic the russians, but the most important thing they do is involve people from the occupied territories of donetsk region, luhansk region, into the war. i understand that we have lost the generation that was children after the maidan and grew up today to fight against ukraine, these are the colonized peoples, whose uses are the russian federation, including those the children to whom he may have called there, they are raising them to become future militants, you know russia and belarus at one time defeated hitler's germany, they defeated it so, but this is only because the ukrainians were on their side, to this day they nothing shines because we are not for them on this

optimistic note we will put an end to it we are not for them we are for ourselves for our country thank you igor for participating in the program i wish you good health it was igor lapins a special officer of the armed forces of ukraine people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation , friends, we work on the air of the espresso tv channel , as well as on our social networks for those who are watching us now on youtube and facebook. i encourage you to like this video and subscribe to our social networks networks, see our news on the espresso tv website, we work for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we have quite a wide range of information, from domestic politics to information about the war to foreign policy, there are comments from our experts who comment on various events in the life of ukraine go to
