we are instantaneous such an operation that actually showed that we can really plan operations in such detail and carry them out so effectively even without having an advantage in numbers over the enemy, but to do everything in such detail and to carry out such deep legal defenses and then after the situation in the kherson region, then really it turned out that the victory will really be ours. and for me, the reference point was really the situation in kharkiv oblast, when this lightning-fast operation was carried out to liberate the raisin stages of the estuary and so on, but when we mentioned at the beginning that the enemy was trying to carry out offensive actions and the americans gave us only three days, the question arose where these three days came from. it turns out that these three days appeared on the basis of mathematical modeling that the americans conducted accordingly to the capabilities of our armed forces, and indeed the computer gave out indicators that with such numbers, our army

can only be held for three days, but only a small one is not taken into account, but as it turned out, it is an extremely colossal thing, this is actually what is called fighting spirit and resistance of the society's army to defense, this parameter, as it is believed, was not taken into account in these programs, and now i think that the americans will have to treat mathematical modeling in a different way, and moreover, when these two offensive operations were already carried out, i heard the statement of one american of the military who said about that, i knew what victory is, what dedication is, what courage is, and then i met ukrainians , and that is. in fact, this means that these indicators that the ukrainian army is doing today on the field or they will really live forever, we will remember that this battle is another battle with the russian federation that we are fighting today , in fact, this is a battle that will be remembered forever and this is precisely what we should also feel that we are now living in a difficult but historical moment, i will allow myself to set one more task because my colleagues will also ask questions. i know that they are preparing them,

but if you evaluate putin's tactics now, because he is actually not just the president and the commander-in -chief, but he is a person who took responsibility there almost planning the operation and ordering who to attack where, he now gives me the impression that he is trying to put out the flames that flare up here and there, but he does not plan these or other actions deliberately, because everything that putin does seems so large-scale, it seems that he can contribute a turning point in this war, but in fact it turns out that it is unprepared, absurd and, in principle, not effective on the battlefield, in your opinion, ah, russia without an armistice, so desirable for her, will be able to prepare some effective moves that had an impact, i won't say they broke but would have a significant impact on the course of this war. well, although we want the war to end as soon as possible , the fact is that there will be a certain period of time when we will have to rally and endure significant tensions the closer

to the front line the more you communicate with the people who directly lead hostilities, actually , there are few people who say that the enemy is weak and stupid. yes, that is, the further from the front line, you can say that in fact, the enemy is not calculating something, so they made significant mistakes. but this is an army that learns as he goes and we also have to take this into account, really now the enemy is trying to plug holes on the front line with mobilized people and now he really wants a truce in order to form new units from those mobilized . the next one is related to the fact that we must continue to carry out active offensive actions and knock the enemy out of our land, the enemy is also now trying to gain a foothold and continue to hold the boundaries that he gets behind him. now the most important thing will be depend on the approaches that will be implemented by the general staff and actually on the request for aid, because in this plot it

was said that we really need foreign aid, we need military equipment, because with seven hundred thousand personnel who can fight, we have and have the appropriate amount of equipment for these people, and then we can really get any load and really achieve victory on the battlefield, which is exactly what we dream about in the rear and think that the guys in the trenches also dream of victory. i hope for the test that this will be done by the joint efforts of our society and theirs. we are actually in the trenches due to the help of our partners. so i will not abuse my position anymore because i am standing here, i will give sergey the opportunity to ask questions to my colleagues, and to yuri , please, what do you want to ask sergey as an expert on military topics, please , i am always interested in serhiy, because he is really an expert who answers the questions that are asked and is answered by an expert serhiy, look

, uh, lena has already started talking about that, right? she said that this year changed her, she became a radical. i also became a radical. you are talking about the fact that, well, obviously we all understand that the victory will be ours. of the army will be according to what you know according to your estimates. well, now i am trying to impose such a responsibility on me that concerns the definition of the border of this war, in any case, if we take into account the statements of our military leaders there, everyone is counting on the fact that powerful companies will be conducted precisely in 20123. zaluzhnik spoke about this and it was precisely connected with the fact that it is necessary to form more reserves in order to conduct a series of operations to completely bleed the russian army. that is , we need to conduct several more similar operations, and i still hope the fact that the

next year will be decisive and it will in fact be such a harbinger of the end of the military campaign, we may bet on it some kind of black swan for the russian federation, what will happen to putin and putin's entourage , it will in some way politically affect the situation in the russian federation, but from the point of view of the use of military force, the conduct of several offensive operations on the 23rd year is decisive for the ukrainian side. i think that foreign partners who determine the directions of aid are counting on this, and i hope that this will happen and that this war may end next year, you know, as you talked about fighting spirit, there is also a mathematical calculation that can happen in the same way if we leave the battlefield that we just have, the weapons that we have the potential mobilization- mobilizational, what is the quality of the mobilization potential, it can be like this, of course, something always happens in history that was not predicted at all, as in the ancient greek classical drama ex-vahina, god appears from a car,

or like a black swan. it changes, it can be like that again, ukrainians thank god during this period they learned to be very down-to -earth, realistic and to rely on their own strength and on each other and not sit and think well, maybe putin will die tomorrow no, we do your work yevhen, so you also have a question, please. my question will relate to western aid from our partners, which serhiy already mentioned, and in the plot it was said that this aid underwent a certain evolution, if before the start of a full-scale invasion, and at the beginning, they supplied us with javelins stingars were supplied , i.e. more. this kind of partisan war can be said later. after a few months, ukraine received modern heavy weapons, modern artillery, they received the famous hummers. what can we expect next? critically necessary for ukraine in order to liberate the territories and what are your forecasts regarding the fact that the allies and partners will not provide tanks and aircraft? well, in fact, when

we talk about the first period of the war, there was a certain sense of mistrust on the part of our foreign partners, because indeed the supply of such light incoming weapons for small groups that we stopped, e.e., tank columns that were moving there in kyiv, this was the first such test, one might say, of our power using those samples of weapons that were considered sufficient, then it was it is clear that these weapons are not enough, and the situation after severodonetsk showed that we really need severodonetsk , in principle we lost it, including due to the fact that we did not have a sufficient number of artillerymen, there were no heimers, so after severodonetsk, heimers appeared and it was then that a certain break began on the front line of the enemy, losses increased, let's say, their warehouses began to be destroyed, their stocks were destroyed . the enemy began to panic, and then the expansion of capabilities due to long-range artillery showed that we we can have the prerequisites for successful military operations,

now of course we are talking about the fact that we have to carry out offensive operations, first of all liberating the south, and this is a rather difficult territory, which, relatively speaking, with light equipment with e-e, is quite difficult to liberate, therefore, and really now it is a question of heavy equipment there is a sufficient amount of artillery, because they say even when we talk about the enemy, even in terms of guns, the americans handed over 350 communities to us. yes, the russians now have 1,500 grams on the battlefield. guns we have a much larger number of high-precision ammunition, we can, relatively speaking, due to a smaller number of bpps, destroy more units, this is what we do, but when we start to clear the territory evenly , we really need tanks, we need armored vehicles, we need more heimers, and we need aviation and anti-missile defense defense, this is the line that was mentioned in our story, now the situation has

become better because we began to receive complexes about air for defense, this is actually the first such significant shift after hypers and now we are waiting for a heavy technical dynamic with heavy armored vehicles and aircraft. so far, it is the most difficult because the americans and europeans believe that the transition to new models will take a long time, and so far, unfortunately, the first step has not been taken. in fact, they are exhausted in the europeans, they are not there in the americans, and they are not there either. i think that precisely this second end of the 22nd year and the beginning of the 23rd year should be the basis for changes in approaches to the delivery of new types of weapons. i think that the 23rd year will be real it is decisive when we receive american tanks and american bmps and i think it will be much faster than it will be with german samples because precisely march 23rd of the year

according to our estimates we will receive precisely german heavy american heavy equipment according to such will be later but just after in the spring of the 23rd year, all the prerequisites will be in place for the start of offensive companies using, with the use of, perhaps, american powerful ground equipment, colleagues, if anyone has any more questions, you can ask them no. then i still i don't have a few words, i don't have a question, then i'll say a few words. i don't think. and i'm listening to you, serhiy. i don't think so. until we invest in this year, that is, until february 24, until february 24. god bless us, but i think we'll get through this year. i am interested in what you think as a person who deals with this topic, when ukrainians will pass the year of the war, we once, i remember when we went here to lviv, er, with relatives from kyiv, we stopped somewhere in khmelnytskyi region and

said goodbye because we were going in one direction. and they drove on and we are somewhere, well, after two weeks, we are somewhere we will go back, everything will end, we will meet somewhere, that is, i was sure that there would be two weeks, well, three weeks, then a month, then two , then six months, but i think it will be a year, and how will it change ukrainians? it 's been more than a year, what will it do for us, how do we feel about the war? well, in fact, when i think about the war, i always think about the losses, because every victory on the front is paid for with the blood of our people , so they don't tell him will we understand that we are there? lasted a year due to the courage of the soldiers and officers who actually withstood the first onslaught , then they learned to fight even better, then new equipment appeared, but what about in a year and we need to move on then i think that everything is equal one way or another and the passage of an additional number is mine the mobilization of everything else

will be affected in one way or another by a much larger number of our population and the tangentiality to the level of the front will be greater. i think that this will make ours possibly tougher, but we understand what the war is in the name of because the enemy wants us to stop to exist as a state ceased to exist as a society, as ukrainians, this is precisely historical , this battle with the enemy has been going on for centuries, and i really want this battle to be the last, so that even if we do not win, and then these sacrifices of ours will be of significant importance for this victory, so i think that in fact we will become and continue to become even tougher, but it is possible to bring us closer to victory over ours will be the last battle so that we have become truly as a society as a state become eternal and that no one threatened now we'll move on to something serhiy we'll now move on to the next topic i mentioned oleksandr oles how come he won't quote because i don't remember everything by

heart and i didn't read it for myself but the key words are that when ukraine was bleeding europe was silent , and it was 100 years ago, when it was precisely well, let's say that europe was not active or did not participate to a large extent in the war of the ukrainian people's republic against bolshevik moscow . what year was this war was lost, the second winter campaign choked and that's all, but this time europe was not silent, or we forced it to speak louder , or did it become bolder thanks to the courage of the ukrainians, in any case, help from europe, help from the united families of america, and actually the whole world, because it is rammstein gathered 40 countries that help ukraine in one way or another, the role of helping the world, people, politicians , volunteers, investors, businessmen, showmen , everyone who participated, how important it was and how much it helped the bad guys to stand and keep going, let's look at the material in

in the case of the united states of america and great britain, nothing has changed significantly even before the start of the aggression against ukraine. washington and london actively warned us that russia was preparing for war and already during the last few months before its start provided us with significant military aid so that we could stop the attacker and then they continued to send us a lot of weapons to drive the aggressor from our lands in general the united states of america and great britain gave us more than 30 billion dollars and that's more almost all the brotherly eastern european countries extended a hand of support to us, and even when further in the west of europe they doubted or hesitated in warsaw, tallinn, vilnius, prague , bratislava and other capitals of countries that know what the russian occupation is, they were convinced in unison that the victory of ukraine in its fair fight against the aggressor - this is a

victory for the whole of europe and they not only convinced, but also help to beat the aggressor , at the same time, the baltic countries even allocate aid to us in the amount of almost 1% of their gross domestic product, and here is the transformation the attitude towards the support of ukraine of some western european leaders, in particular french president emmanuel macron and especially german chancellor olaf schultz , is impressive. before the invasion, they talked until the very end that putin had no intention of attacking ukraine, but after the invasion, they slowly but also began to change their attitude towards the kremlin. and the main thing is - they stopped being afraid of putin and started giving us weapons. francis of rome, from the very beginning of the russian war, he was wary of directly blaming russia, although at the same time he constantly mentioned the suffering ukrainian people, called to pray for us and even offered to become a mediator during the peace

talks between ukraine and russia, but at the end of november, the pontiff wrote a letter to the ukrainian people, again he did not directly condemn russia, but he openly condemned the war that the kremlin started and began to call russian crimes precisely yura's crimes i, uh, you know how i'll start my question to you, or giving you the floor, uh, president zelenskyi was the first to call when the war started, this is my opinion there was a wrestler, johnson, whom he woke up. well, in london, two hours earlier, he was probably still asleep and started talking about what happened, and then we remember this video that appeared recently when macron is sitting as if praying hands and tries to say no, it's not a war, but zelenskyi says on the other side of the phone, he says it-stotel word is one europe plus johnson, who almost flew to kyiv and not to a certain macron europe was different how are you

do you think how ukrainians united the world around them yourself, what was key and important and how do you evaluate europe's help to the western world well, vasyl, you are right when you say that there was one europe at the beginning of this russian war in ukraine and there was a second europe, i would even say it differently, there was one west before the beginning this plenum again invaded ukraine and there was a different measure, there were countries such as great britain and the united states of america, which immediately, even two months before the invasion , constantly talked about it, warned us about this invasion and even for several weeks before the invasion, they gave us weapons, really. they were weapons, as sergei said, more for the partisans of some kind of war, but they gave them , that is, they knew that there would be an invasion and they helped us. there were countries like the one you already mentioned, the president of france, emmanuel macron , the chancellor of germany, olafsholz. the last for some reason, i don't know why they believed that

you need to talk to putin , you need to go to putin, for example, german chancellor olafsholt, then he appears literally a few days before the full-scale invasion, he was in muscovy sat at this long table with putin and tried to convince putin, knowing for example that you cannot convince him, because there is no point in convincing her. putin was sitting, he also understood that no one would convince him. there was another europe that had not changed. this is eastern europe , the countries that knew what the soviet union was, the country that knew what russia was, which is the legal successor of this soviet union, that felt this soviet union very strongly - these are the baltic countries - this is poland, this is the czech republic or slovakia, which are also from from the very beginning they extended a hand of help and support to us, but it started with the fact that there were countries that immediately began to help us, there were some that did not immediately, for example, france and germany. well, here

you can mention other countries that were also not from the very beginning, but they transformed, this transformation is about you said in your block that this transformation took place, ukraine united this event, i can say with confidence that the same has the same something, even though they are up to december and including the beginning of december in the game, they are talking about what is going on with putin it is necessary to continue to negotiate because a conversation with putin is a way to ensure that in ukraine, for this, one of the ways to ensure that peace is planned in ukraine, they have a different vision now of this putin, fortunately, it is not exactly what the ukrainians probably wanted, but they now see something else a terrorist, a terrorist who comes to a foreign country, who says that this country, well, in fact, should not exist at all , it does not exist, and they understand that this terrorist can only be fought with the language

of force, and they give us this weapon, germany no matter how much they cry now in germany about the fact that they have no reserves in the bundeswehr , they give france, they give us weapons, and these are the same countries that i have already mentioned in eastern europe , and the small baltic countries, in which the armies themselves have little reserves they don't give us so many weapons. and how much financial support, uh, 1% of the gross domestic product, they give us to help, and of course, these are mastodons in the good sense of the word. great britain and the united states of america, how much support and we received help from them, so there was support before the full-scale invasion, there was support during this full-scale invasion, and i very much believe in vasyl, and i will also believe in serhii that in 2023 this victory will come so that after this victory,

we will preserve such trusting relations that have developed now in our country, when we see one problem and we go together to solve this problem, does this person here have heard of such a moment? well, almost a year of war there, well, almost a year of such a full-scale uh, after the great invasion, and a big problem for the west of education is that they look and cannot see and what will the world be like, relatively speaking, if russia loses and what will be the configuration of the new world in my mind, he asks the question why eh politics in the 45th year, let's say there was a than situation but they saw they built the new world is imperfect, not ideal, the cold war began, there were many other problems , the warsaw countries of the warsaw pact, the nato bloc, but you, well, another world was built. the level has not yet been reached to build it, i appreciate it to

see it build it, is the time not yet come or are there no prerequisites for this vasyl? you know, i think there are prerequisites, the time has come and something like this is being built. this new world is being built. if before this world was built around some relationships of these great countries , including russia, in the new world that is being built, less attention is paid to russia , that is, that huge country, the country with the most land on planet earth, which could dictate a lot of things in the life of ukraine, including now they are paying attention to it attention, but at least not as it was before now. there is no russian gas, we will buy another gas in saudi arabia, there is no russian oil. nothing, we will buy this oil in a boat, for example, or in other producing countries , there is nothing we will buy. the same russia does not have

semiconductors. she is looking, but she can't find them anywhere because they can't find them, there 's nothing else she can't find them, that's why it seems to me that it's like this a new world is being built a new world in which i don't want to say there won't be russia it will probably be crushed it will be maybe a small particle will be, it will still be the same russia as it will sneeze, it will be, but it will be for the whole world. i suggest colleagues, please join and ask questions to yuri lehn, i will come from the other side. i really like to research some media products in russia in we have olga lentyaka . she is a professional super professional. about world leaders, and they are the authors of the program, they

create a certain image for each of the world leaders. of course, the stupid joe there is very unattractive, the old grandfather who is in a frenzy and so on and so on, but it seems to me that they humiliate manuel macron the most, they always find there is something about him that is simply repulsive to describe, the worst is not the worst, as you think, why is it that he is so disrespected, this is the biggest thing, and why, at the same time, macron is constantly being made by some servants in the direction of russia, i cannot give an unambiguous answer to your question, i do not i know this answer because really, if you take other world politicians, then other world politics would deserve such an attitude towards themselves, for example, the same fighter johnson whom they simply hate in moscow , uh, now the decision is sunek, well, they know him less

as far as i know, they don't treat emmanuel macron like that, maybe because they put too much hope on emmanuel macron, that he won't support ukraine as much as if they wanted to so that he did not support and as it was. by the way, as i said at the beginning before the invasion, that is, he thought until the end that it was possible to talk with putin, he talked with putin until the end, in fact, he still continues to talk, but this transformation took place in him. maybe he betrayed them in this way and they maybe so on him somehow i don't know they take revenge on him i don't know how to explain it but it's kind of real but it also shows the culture of the russians, well, it's toothless, this program shows the culture of the russians - that's exactly what i need, just an idea from this program for to cut out macron's writing itself, make french subtitles and somehow target it all on the french in social networks so that they see how the russians treat their

president, so that the president himself sees how much they don't hate him, but rather despise him, they simply mix it with shit with anything, i think that this is not a bad idea, it can be remembered that there was such a president in france, who took part in the second world war , and marshal de gaulle won it, but he is known for the fact that in 1920, when the famous battle of warsaw took place, in which to ukrainian sichov shooters took part, there was also an international expeditionary corps, i said so. legionnaires were also among those legionnaires who came to defend poland. charles de gaulle was also there. well, he was very young then, but here he is. he, with a saber and a gun, so to speak, won back then in irshava from the western world fought against all these randoms and er and frunzes who rushed to warsaw well, but you see macron is a little different oleksandr if you have any questions, please know yuro eh, mine

the viewers ask, they especially asked at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. so why are the sanctions not in effect? ​​so where are the results of those sanctions , and the longer this war goes on, the more i find information for my releases that the sanctions are still in effect, warnings on exports, restrictions on the maximum price for russian oil, i tell to the viewers, but to you as an internationalist, is there unity of all states, in particular the european union, regarding the implementation of these economic , in particular, restrictions on the allocation of international aid there from all countries and the european union of the union in our country, is there anyone poking sticks in the wheels, so to speak, alexander , there is someone poking these sticks in the wheels, unfortunately, in general, sanctions are in effect and this agreement regarding sanctions is generally there, but there are a few countries that do not care. for some reason, i i don't know why, maybe because of fear, maybe because

of some other reasons, but they slow down those sanctions, that is, there were several packages of sanctions for countries, which countries slow down, i will tell you this, unfortunately, hungary is close to us , unfortunately, it is quite often austria it's a great pity that greece is where they used to go and love to go. ukrainians will go there in the summer, that is, there are such countries and they are afraid of some kind of fear because of the fact that and what will happen if , for example, russia wins this war? not ukraine, but what will happen if naftogaz is cut off from us in general, how will we get them, although other countries are not afraid of this, other countries are finding some diversify these supply routes and live without them, there are still these countries well, but they are few, they are few and this makes me happy to yuri , if possible, we talk about that often the western world one way or another, it is with ukraine

here. the leading role belongs to the united states of america. europe. yes, it is also formidable, as you said, but anyway it is with ukraine, this is the western world, but there are other players on the map, for example, china and india, which are not the ones who support russia, but they do not support ukraine as passionately as we would like, can this change? and what can make china, let's say, change this position, the east is a very delicate matter when they said yes and it really is , because these countries that you mentioned, their leaders primarily think about thinking of myself about themselves they won't think about ukraine they are far from us, their own for them this war is very far away for them the main thing is to ensure a normal life for their citizens they will do it if they need to buy, for example, this is how they think in china if they need to buy oil or gas in
