they sold us mainly weapons for a kind of partisan war and the use of stingers and javelins and other anti-tank weapons, now everything is different, the ukrainian army has demonstrated extraordinary speed in mastering and effective use of modern and powerful western weapons, high-tech caesar m-3-7 howitzers, long- range himersi in their hands ukrainian soldiers have become a reliable weapon for punishing the aggressor, although we need more weapons and tanks and infantry fighting vehicles and artillery. and of course powerful anti-missile defense systems and foreign fighter jets, western countries should more quickly make decisions on increasing the quantity and quality of such aid, only this will speed up the end of the war pursues a policy of

genocide mass deportations torture murders the stakes in this war are high and they lead us to a simple conclusion putin will fight until until his army is completely destroyed, this is what ukraine should do with the support of a collective effort. so serhiy, i know that i want to start such a passport and give it as if as a question in your and at what stage of the war did you realize that it would be easier in the future, this is actually a good question because indeed, when we even began to kill the enemy from the kyiv sumy chernihiv region, then there was still no feeling that the victory would be ours, but when the situation was conducted in such a way that we managed to liberate precisely from kharkiv oblast these 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 and it really 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 free the estuary raisin 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 in accordance with the capabilities of our armed forces forces, and indeed the computer gave out indicators that with such indicators of 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 twelve-digit 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 the indicators that the ukrainian the army on the battlefield, they will really live forever, but we will remember that this battle is another battle of the russian federation, which 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 ask one more task, because my colleagues will also ask questions. i know that they are preparing them, but if we evaluate putin's tactics now , because he is actually not just the president and the

supreme commander, but he is not a person who took responsibility not before planning an 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 does not plan these or that actions thoughtfully, because everything that putin does seems so large-scale, it seems that can make 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 the help of such a desirable thing for her, will be able to prepare some effective moves that had an impact, i would say they broke it, 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 people who directly are conducting hostilities, actually

few people there say that the opponents are weak and stupid yes that is, the further from the front line it is possible to say that in fact there is something wrong against them, so they made significant mistakes but this is an army that is learning to march, and we also have to take this into account. really, now the enemy is trying to plug holes at the front with mobilized people, and now he really wants a truce so that new units can be formed from those mobilized. the next 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 lines that he holds behind him now, the main thing will be depend on the approaches that will be implemented by the general staff and actually on foreign aid, because in this story it was said that we really need

foreign aid, we will 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 are the same they dream of victory. i hope for the test that it will be developed by the joint efforts of both our society and them. please, do you want to ask serhii as an expert and a connoisseur of military topics? please, i am always interested in serhii because he is really an expert who answers the questions that are asked and answers expert serhii, look at lena already started talking about it, didn't start there.

she said that this year changed her, she became radical. i also became radical. you are talking about what, well, obviously, we all understand that the victory will be ours. we want it to be this victory earlier, but now i am like radical, i will radically ask you. when will the end of the russian army be according to what you know, according to your estimates? well, now you are 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 military forces still there the leaders all count on the fact that powerful companies will be carried out precisely in 20123. zaluzhnik talked about this. and it was precisely connected with the fact that it is necessary to form more reserves in order to carry out a series of operations to completely bleed the russian army. that is , we need to carry out several more similar operations, and i still hope that the next year will be decisive and it will actually be a harbinger of the end of the

military campaign, maybe we are betting on it some kind of black swan for the russian federation, what will happen to putin and his entourage by putin, this will somehow affect the situation in the russian federation politically, but from the point of view of the use of military force, the conduct of several offensive operations in 23rd year is decisive for the ukrainian side. i think that foreign partners who determine the directions of aid are also counting on this, and i hope that this is will happen and this war will probably end next year, you know how you talked about morale, there is also a mathematical calculation of what can happen in the same way, if you start from what you just like we have weapons, what mobilization potential do we have, what is the quality of the mobilization potential, it can be like this, of course, something always happens in history that was by no means predicted, as in the ancient greek classic drama ex-vahina, god from the machine, that is, something like that appears or like the black swan well, it changes, it can be like that again,

thanks to god, during this period, they learned to be very down-to-earth , realistic and rely on their strength on each other, and not sit and think well, maybe putin will die tomorrow. no, we are doing our job yevgeny, so you also have a question, please. my question will relate to western aid from our partners, which serhii 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, we were supplied with javelins, we were supplied with stingars, more before such a partisan war, you can say that later, after a few months, ukraine received modern heavy weapons, modern artillery, they received the famous heimers, what further, we can expect that i am critical necessary for ukraine in order to liberate the territories and what are your forecasts regarding the fact that allies and partners will provide ukraine with tanks and aircraft well , in fact, when we talk about the

first period of the war, there was a feeling of certain mistrust on the part of our foreign partners because indeed, the supply of such light incoming weapons for small groups that we stopped, e . those samples of weapons that were considered sufficient , then it became clear that these weapons were not enough, and just like that the situation after severodonetsk showed that we really needed severodonetsk . north-donetsk she appeared himersi and that's when 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 increasing capabilities at the expense of long-range artillery has shown that we really can have the prerequisites for successful hostilities , 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, is quite difficult to liberate. there really is now this raises the question of heavy armored vehicles, er, a sufficient amount of artillery , because they say how when we talk about the enemy, even in terms of guns, the americans tell us and handed over 350 guns. yes, the russians now have a 1,500-gram advantage on the battlefield. in fact, they have an advantage of about an order of magnitude, that is, up to these guns. we have a much larger number of high-precision ammunition. when we start liberating the territory, we really need tanks, we need armored vehicles, we need more heimers and we need aviation, anti-missile defense, this is the line we mentioned in our story, now the situation has become better

because we began to receive complexes about air defense, this is actually the first such significant shift after the heimers, and now we are expecting heavy technical dynamics with heavy armored vehicles with 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 , such a first step has not been taken. we are still standing around soviet weapons, which are actually exhausted in europe. there are no american ones either. i think that this is exactly the second end of the 22nd year and the beginning of the 23rd year should be the basis for changes in approaches to the supply of new types of weapons. i think that the year 23 will be really decisive when we receive american tanks and american bmps, and i think it will be much faster than it will be with german models, because it is march 23 year, according to our estimates, we are

getting exactly german heavy american heavy equipment according to such will be later but just after e in the spring of the 23rd year there will be all the prerequisites for the start of offensive companies using with the use of can of american powerful ground vehicles colleagues, if anyone has any more questions, you can ask no then i have a few more words, i don't have a question, i will say a few words then i don't think and i'll listen to you serhiy, i don't think that of course by we will invest in this year, that is, by 24 february to february 24, god grant that we will live, but i think we will pass 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 we are relatives from kyiv somewhere khmelnytskyi stopped and said goodbye because we were going in one direction and they were going further and we are

somewhere, well, in two weeks, somewhere, we will go back, it will all 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 i think it will be a year, and how will it change ukrainians? when we go to this marathon distance, you know, it's been more than a year, what will it do to us, how do we feel about the war? well, actually, whenever i think about the war, i always think about including about losses because every victory at the front is paid for with the blood of our people, yes, that is, she says to him, do we understand that we survived there for a year due to the courage and soldiers and officers who actually withstood the first onslaught, then they learned to fight even better, then new equipment appeared but a year has passed and we need to move on then. i think that everything is equal one way or another and the passing of an additional number there is a mobilization of everything else, it will be affected in one way or another by a much larger number of

our population and the tangentiality to the front line 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 cease to exist as a state, to cease to exist as a society, as ukrainians, this is precisely the historical battle with the enemy, it has been going on for a long time for centuries and i really want this battle to be the last, so that we win and then those sacrifices of ours will be of essential importance for this victory, so i think that actually we will become and continue to become even tougher, but this may bring us closer to victory in relation to ours will be the last battle for us to be truly as a society as a state become eternal and for no one to threaten us now we will move on to something sergey we will now move on to the next topic i remembered oleksandr oles as he i will not believe you quote because i 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 exactly well, let's say, europe was not active or did not participate to a large extent in the war of the ukrainian people of the ukrainian people's republic against the bolsheviks moscow she recently had the opportunity to win then and in the 22nd year actually was in the 21st year this war was bad the second winter campaign choked and that’s all but this time europe was not silent or we forced it to speak louder or it became bolder thanks to the courage of ukrainians in any - in any case, the help of europe, the help of the connecting road 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 all those who joined how important it was and how much it was necessary for the pagans to resist and keep going, let's look at the material in the

case of the united states of america and great britain, nothing has changed significantly regarding the start of aggression against ukraine, washington and london actively warned us that russia is preparing for war and already during the last few months before it started , they provided us with significant military aid so that we could stop the attacker. and then they continued to send us a lot of weapons in order to 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 this is not the end, almost all the brotherly eastern european countries extended a hand of support to us, and even when further in the west of europe , warsaw, tallinn, vilnius, prague , bratislava and others doubted or hesitated in the capitals of countries that know what the russian occupation is, they convinced in unison that the victory of ukraine in its fair fight against the aggressor is the victory of the whole of europe, and they not only

convinced but also helped 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, but the transformation of the attitude of some western european leaders to support ukraine, in particular the president of france, emmanuel macron, and especially the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz, is impressive. before the invasion, they talked until the very end that putin does not intend to attack ukraine, however, after the invasion, they slowly but also began to change their attitude towards the kremlin. and most importantly, they stopped being afraid of putin and started giving us weapons francis of paris, from the very beginning of the russian war, he was wary of directly blaming russia, although at the same time he constantly mentioned the much-suffering ukrainian people, called to pray for us and even offered to become a mediator during peace negotiations between ukraine and russia, but at the

end of november, the pontiff wrote a letter to the ukrainian people and again did not directly condemn russia, however, openly condemned the war that the kremlin started and began to call russian crimes exactly yura 's crimes. you have words, eh, the first person president zelensky called when the war started , in my opinion, it was the fighter johnson whom he woke up. well, in london there two hours earlier, he was probably still asleep and started talking about what happened, and then we remember let's watch this video that appeared recently when macron sits as if folded his hands in prayer and tries to say no , it's not war, but zelensky says on the other side of the phone, he says it is a hundred there war is one europe plus johnson who almost flew to kyiv there and is not sure macron europe was different how do you think ukrainians united the world around them, what

was key and important and how do you evaluate the western world with the help of europe? 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 in a different way, there was one event before the start of this full-scale invasion of ukraine and there was another event, there were countries such as great britain and the united states of america, which immediately, even two months before the invasion, were constantly talking they warned us about this invasion and even a few weeks before the invasion , they gave us weapons. indeed, they were weapons, as serhii 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 this as you already mentioned french president emmanuel macron german chancellor olafsholz who until the end for some reason i don't know why they believed that you need to talk to putin putin needs to go by example

german chancellor olafsholz then he seems literally a few days before the full-scale invasion, he was in moscow, sitting at this long table with putin and trying to convince putin, knowing for example that he cannot be convinced, because there is no point in convincing her. putin was sitting, he also understood that no one of his does not convince, there was another europe that did not change, this is eastern europe, countries that knew what the soviet union was, a country that knew what russia was, which is the legal successor of this soviet union, which felt very strongly about this soviet union is the baltic countries , poland, the czech republic, and slovakia, which also extended a hand of help and support to us from the very beginning, but it started with the fact that there were countries that immediately began to help us, there were countries that did not immediately, for example, france and germany. well here you can mention other countries,

which are also not from the very beginning, but they transformed, this is the transformation that you talked about in your blog, this transformation took place, ukraine united this event, i can confidently say that this same thing has something even though they are up to december and including december in the game, they are talking about the fact that it is necessary to continue to negotiate with putin because talking with putin is the way to peace in ukraine, this is one of the ways to peace reign in ukraine, it is another fortunately, the vision of this putin is not exactly what ukrainians would like, but it is different. they now see a terrorist who comes to a foreign country and says that this country, well, in fact, should not have existed at all, it does not exist, and they understand that this terrorist can be fought only in the language of force and they give us these weapons germany, no matter how much they cry now in

germany about the fact that they do not have reserves in the bundeswehr themselves, they give france, they give us weapons, the same countries that i have already mentioned , the countries of eastern europe, and small countries in the baltics, which have a small army and little reserves, they give us so many weapons, and how much financial support, 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 help did we receive from them, that is why there was support before the full-scale invasion, there was support during this full-scale invasion, and i very much believe vasyl and i will also believe sergey that in 2023 this victory will come so that after this victory we will be saved these are the kind of trusting relationships

that have developed between us now when we see one problem and we are going to solve this problem together, so this is here or the moment is like this. well, almost a year of war there, well, almost a year already such a full-scale uh after the great invasion and the big problem for western education is that they look and cannot see and what will the world be, relatively speaking, if russia loses and what will be the configuration of the new world in me he says the question why uh politics in in the 45th year, let's say there was a different situation, but they saw, they built a new world, 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 a new world without the league of nations, without another organization like the united nations, now the politicians have not yet reached such a level to build this place to see it develop it, is the time not yet ripe 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 earlier this world was built around some relations between these big countries, including with russia, in the new world that is being built, less attention is paid to russia. that is, that huge country is the country with the most land on planet earth, which could dictate a lot of things in the life of ukraine, including now attention is paid to it, 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 boats, for example, or in other countries that are mining and there is nothing we will buy. the same russia does not have semiconductors. she is looking for them, but she cannot find them anywhere because they cannot

find them. world a new world is being built in which, i would not like to say, there will be no russia, it will probably be crushed, maybe a small particle will be, it will still be, and russia will be what it will be, but it will be a new world. i suggest colleagues, please join in and ask questions to yuri lehn i'll come from the other side. i really like to explore some media products in russia. we have olga lentyaka. she's a professional, super professional. she works on the channel . the international sawmill is just, lord , the husband of margarita simonyan a-a and in general they think the program is funny, it is about world leaders and they are the authors of the program, they make a certain

image for each of the world leaders. of course, that very unattractive stupid joe is on them, an 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 something in him that is simply disgusting beyond description, the worst and the worst. what do you think, why, why exactly on him such disdain is the greatest, and why, at the same time, macron is constantly making some kind of servants towards russia, i cannot give an unequivocal answer to your question, i do not know this answer, because really, if the brothers of other world politicians, then they deserved such treatment b to other world politics, for example, the same fighter johnson whom they simply hate in moscow uh-uh now the decision is well they know him less less about him still a-ah to the bean shark they as far as i know they do not treat him like that

of emmanuel macron, perhaps because they placed too much hope on emmanuel macron that he would not support ukraine as if they wanted him not to support and as it was. by the way, at the beginning, as i said before the invasion, that is, he until the end, he thought that it was possible to talk to putin, he talked to putin until the end, in fact, he continues to talk, but this transformation took place in him. perhaps he betrayed them in this way and they. it's kind of real but that too shows the culture of the russians, well, it’s toothless, the program shows the culture of the russians. it’s exactly me, i just need an idea from this program to cut out macron’s writing itself, make french subtitles and somehow target it all on the french in social networks so that they can see how the russians treat their president so that he himself the president looked

at how much they don't hate him, in fact, they despise him, they just mix it with shit with anything. i think it's a good idea to remember there was such a president in france who directly took part in the second world war the war was won by marshal de gaulle, but he is known for the fact that in 1920, when the famous battle of warsaw took place, in which, by the way, the ukrainian sich riflemen took part, there was also such an international expeditionary corps, as i said, the legionnaires were among those charles de gaulle was among the legionnaires who came to defend poland. well, he was very young then, but here he is. i think he has no crowns. he won back the western world with a saber and a gun, so to speak. made their way to warsaw well, but you see macron a little differently oleksandr if you have questions, please know yuro er my

viewers ask especially asked at the beginning of the full-scale invasion so why aren't the sanctions in effect so where are the results of those sanctions and that's the longer this war goes on the more i find information for of their releases that sanctions are still in effect, restrictions on exports, restrictions on the maximum price for russian oil, i tell the audience, but here is to you as an internationalist, is there unity among all states, in particular the european union, regarding the implementation of these economic in particular, the restrictions on the allocation of international aid there from all countries and the european union in our country, is there someone putting the wheels in the wheels, so to speak, oleksandr? in general, there are, but there are a few countries that are still for some reason, i don’t know why, maybe because of fear, maybe because of some other
