the impression of cabin means is still limited to e-e projectiles to heimers, all these publications in politics are connected there with long-range systems, they are not unconfirmed . precisely long-range systems for transmission to ukraine at a range of 80 km. what do you think about this? i think there is more politics than possibilities, after all, missiles, at least attacks here, they have enough other systems, too. i think the question is this the option is also unpacked, but it is solved a little differently. i think that now the received states and our partners have focused on giving us the opportunity, well, in the end, in the end, we have a tool that reaches russian airfields, we don't know what it is, but it is possible indirect

supplies to the united states and what was done directly on the main i will well, we don't know in the end we know what it is specifically i think this option will continue the second option that what will continue well at least the fact that the long-range ones are actually being studied long-range missiles, and the second one is not. more likely, not so. the second option is various such options that are heard in the united states and in britain. they say that it is possible to use the missile system and our aviation bombs, which are enough and create such a long-range missile palliative and it can work. well, and the third option. i think it is on the table, it is considered the option of providing us with long-range missiles, but this option, i feel that way, it depends on whether baristic soviet missiles will appear in russia as only ballistic missiles will soon appear in

our country, and these direct deliveries will also appear, and i think there may be a game in this. operational-tactical, they are not supplied to us until iran, while russia does not have paradise ballistic missiles, new ballistic missiles, maybe this is deterrence, but they give us palliative solutions that allow us to solve this issue, but this is exactly what i think i connect with this, so far there are no iranian missiles baristic docks, we do not actually have ataxes, but this is not such a super-super problem in view of other options. that is, we believe that quantitatively, with the means that have been transferred to us, which will be transferred in the greatest perspective, we can actually carry out the offensive operations that we have planned somehow this option is related to long-range

systems. as i understand it, the element remains such a subject of bargaining and influence on the russian federation, the deterrence of the actions of the russian federation, but the authors of the question, what will be the reaction of the russian federation to this package because actually they were afraid of this ramstein, but it was there yesterday, piskova appeared there, medvedeva again mentioned that measures are being taken there, and ukraine is developing a new offensive plan, and we will be there again, if everything goes badly, we will use tactical nuclear there again weapons, if we are talking about the statement of medvedev and pisk, in principle, it is very close to this, or is this argument of such an emotional impact on european partners, now russia will get to its own box and will again to brandish these nuclear arguments, i think there is a possibility that they will try , well, they will try at medvedev's level, at

medvedev's level, it won't work. i think after i remember, for example, several weeks this month, schultz called putin and after he said that the option of nuclear war is decreasing. i think nothing has changed even after the institute for the study of war made a big publication about the fact that the nuclear option was minimized and russia is ready to lose. without the use of nuclear weapons, although the bear they say something else, but after all, it is medvedeeva, well, the source is not even as authoritative as zhirynovsky, so i think hmm, they will try, but it will not be effective , they will use rammstein, if it is actually shown that the weapons of victory are provided, i think they will use it for ideological justification, well such medical measures, but the nuclear option now, i think, will no longer work.

it may sound, but it will not work. and then the question arises. what exactly will russia do then on the battlefield, because we understand that if this is the package of military aid that is now declared will arrive on time, conditionally speaking , we will use these two months to build up our reserves. and all the propaganda of the russian federation says that russia will advance there, or can we actually talk about the fact that the current stage during the next month, russia has opportunities to conduct such large-scale offensive operations, which, well , now they are ideologically trying to fit into the novel of russian approaches. well, it seems to me after all, the main thing is what the russian military establishment will do, they will say, you see, we warned that it is necessary to create these large structures, fronts, divisions of regiments

, etc., reforms must be made, and they will convince putin and receive and receive money for this so that create, return everything to the way it was, the lessons of the cold war, at least start this large-scale process, e-mobilization, the creation of large structures, large-scale training of the military. they say so, but i think that if they see that, well, there will be attempts. also, it seems to me to stop these flows of weapons and influence ukraine in such a way as to slow down this process. i think there will be terrorist activities, there will be more various informational activities, there will be a new attempt to activate e-e into the agency which

still exists in ukraine, we will experience such informational and possibly quasi-political turmoil and attempts to stop or slow down the provision of weapons to us by certain terrorist means, but what will gerasim do, i think he will do, in addition to scattering leaflets in shells, he will feed the sticks of the divisions, the fronts, the first ukrainian, the second ukrainian, get money for this, well , that is, in fact, there is no new there, eh, to the active gerasimo, there will be no hybrid use , but it will simply be scaling to moscow zhukov’s doctorate there or wagner’s doctrine with a bet simply on increasing the size of the russian army, which is the only possible option at the current stage. well, from a military point of view, yes. what changes the situation, but i think political turbulence is part of a hybrid war. we will also

feel it, as we sometimes feel it now, and i think it will too, but i don’t think that this is gerasimov’s genius, but still, the special service in russia is working and they are trying to do something, so i think there will be attempts to apply all tools, of course , informational agents, terrorist well, against the background of this, preparations will be made for a big , big victory, a big victory, well, this is the only thing that the state of war can do now, more or less, and then say that well, you see , one division was not enough here. we didn't have time to create it, and that's why we can't attack. i hope for that. we write in the army. he is very good at sabotaging a political decision . but i was counting on it. you didn't drop it from the arsenal. in the end, we remember this record now . published

as uh, the russian airborne troops were not transferred to moscow when the coup began. although all orders were carried out and everyone there said yes, yes, yes, but the generals understood each other very well, so that they discovered that when they arrived at the airfields, the planes were already there need return to service well, i think, i hope, this can be a big, big preparation for a big frontal offensive by divisions, it can become an element of sabotage by the military, such madness on the part of putin, if they still exist. thank you for these professional explanations. thank you for your time and for this is the inclusion of a-and i will remind our viewers that the espresso channel was broadcast by oleksiy ezhyk, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies. and now we are in touch with valentin batrak, the director of the center for research in the army, conversion and disarmament, military

analyst and writer mr. valentina i congratulate you , i congratulate mr. serhiy, today the meeting of defense ministers in the rammstein format is taking place. you probably already weighed in on the aid package promised by the united states , promised by other countries, what is your feeling. can we talk about the fact that we are really on at such a decisive stage. and what are the prerequisites for the ukrainian army in a short period of time to receive something that allows us to at least stabilize the front line and, on the other hand , conduct offensive actions there, such as yours assessments of the general background that is happening around the meeting in the city of defense well, i would say so, the day before yesterday, cnn, er, provided such a picture, er, publication, so that the west has reached such a turning point and a turning point in this war, it was true that a new turning point was written. well but it is so to say that everything is being created very well. i would say

that the west may come to a turning point, but it is only just weighing its steps . that we have positives regarding the provision of the latest anti-aircraft systems , even france and italy dare to provide us with one battery. it's a little bit stressful for me, i would say, because so far only great britain, which acts independently and doesn't look back to anyone, has decided to transfer 14 new challenger tanks . well, i like poland's position very much. it was stated there that if germany does not

agree on the leopards, then in principle poland will act independently. i do not know how possible it will be under nato conditions, but the option of tanks can be unlocked, but yesterday, of course, there was such disappointment with the meeting in the bundestag and the consideration of the issue the possibility of providing new tanks, even old leopard tanks, one of which in germany is about 200 units, even with regard to old tanks, nothing has been decided, and uh, berlin, uh, uh, what washington uh, uh, made a decision about the abrams washington is procrastinating and giving some kind of incomprehensible explanations regarding technical maintenance problems regarding fuel and the general need to do something there to

maintain, but at the same time, we all know that 116 tanks will come to poland this year, new abrams tanks, and that's it. e batch of the ordered 250 abrams tanks and in poland it seems that there are no technical problems, that is, if we talk about eh in general, then we must say that the west has developed a certain step forward, we will be provided with light armored vehicles very significantly we will be equipped with systems, that is, about uh well, let's say it decently at this stage uh, but uh, if we talk about an offensive, then ensuring an offensive is not happening yet, yes, it is possible that it will be unlocked later, but uh, we need to take into account what is needed in ukraine uh it will take about two months to get the same light infantry fighting vehicles and the same

challenger tanks, because time is needed for training, so if the decision regarding the leopard and abram tanks, relatively speaking, will be made somewhere in february, that means that only somewhere at the end of april, ukraine will have all the tanks and this will mean that such an event slows down our offensive and we will have a competition. and it is happening now in general, so uh, you can say that we must not just analyze rammstein, but analyze and compare it with what russia is doing, and what is happening in russia the acceleration of this arms race and, well, there is no conviction. of course, russia can withstand it, because there are many very big problems, for example, the same urologist of the wagon factory, which at the beginning of january shipped a batch of t-90 m breakthrough, even yesterday there was an interview in novy

izvetiya with the top manager of the ural wagon factory, where he said that the situation is extremely critical with personnel, there are not even any ordinary workers, and they already have 250 prisoners in the sverdlovsk region alone, and they authorized him to do forced labor. even women. they expect women to do simple work, but the shortage is terrible and indicate that these problems are very clearly related to only where they provide such a figure, they counted there in the publication , they provide such a figure that only in er in september in the 22nd year, immediately after putin announced the so-called partial mobilization , by six percent, the personnel issue, the personnel demand

, of course, fell by 6% . in the summer of last year, borysov of russia noted that there is an expected staff shortage at the level of 400,000 people. you can imagine that these are very big problems, but of course, russia. yesterday, there was a report from such a publication as dt.ua, that is, the mirror of the week, which according to their data, up to 70% of the arsenals of belarus and russia have already devastated everything behind and raked in, so to speak, but on the other hand, we see reports from the russians that they are producing aircraft and want to produce 40 aircraft this year, we see reports that missiles are being produced in russia, and

even our military intelligence indicates that this russia can still produce 20 caliber missiles up to 30 x101 missiles, that is, in fact, we have to admit that the sanctions are not yet in effect. and at the same time, russia has several partner countries that help, for example, contracts for tailoring uniforms have already been received in belarus and iran in in vietnam, and in china, although the russian troops themselves complain, they say that they are in very bad shape there, they are poorly provided for, but one way or another, russia is trying to provide its mobilized people, so the situation at this time can now be marked as a new round of the arms race and a competition in who will be rearmed sooner, whether

ukraine will be helped by western partners , or whether russia will be able to do it somewhere at the level of eh, i think the end of march, the beginning of april, there are such predictions based on their of course, these will be to some extent semi-finished products, so to speak, in quotation marks, yes , that is, not the entire army will be prepared, but we must state that this is also a significant challenge and a significant danger, and today it is happening in ukraine and in the west discourses how great is this danger i want to say that on tuesday this week there was a meeting of the general of our commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the chief general of the united states of america, the chairman of the committee of the joint chiefs of staff of the general markamilli, they met in poland, and then

it became known that there was another secret meeting before that, that the director of ceru traveled to kyiv secretly and visited president zelenskyi and informed him about the possibilities, and among other things , it turned out that a source of information that, er, through journalists, that apparently burns told zelensky that after losing control of the house of representatives in congress, there may be complications with receiving american aid, and it is possible, by the way, that tank braking is already possible is an impression of these, well, i would say, well , no problems yet, but such prerequisites for problems , that’s why, for sure, there was a fight between berlin and washington. but while visiting the website of the website, i wrote yesterday that berlin is waiting for washington’s decision and washington immediately

replied that the partners themselves should decide who to give what and how to provide. this is how this situation is happening, that's why i'm personally satisfied with ramstein in principle, but the satisfaction is only from the fact that we won't be allowed to fall, and the offensive is not provided yet. here's that i want to emphasize so far this rammstein does not provide us with the offensive of a possible offensive, yes, father valentin thank you for this professional comment now, just ukraine , the air alert is increasing. so, we are still more optimistic that the ramstein meeting will still be decisive from the point of view of the supply of a number of weapons, the packages are significant and powerful. i think that this will really affect the strengthening the strength of the ukrainian army in the

near future. these were the main points related to the military program and the actions that are taking place now in germany, and then we will continue the broadcasts already with olga laen with the information war chronicle program . they decided to move to work. branch of this new building and make sure that the operation is carried out on the sugar floor , because this building is made of reinforced concrete, unlike the old buildings that are paneled, this new one is from a hospital for particularly seriously ill patients children began to be built back in 2011, but it was possible to start work at 100% already during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine

during the war, we were able to launch a new course , equip it with the most modern equipment, here came nero, a monitoring system, navigation, here came operating tables and we did everything possible and it is impossible for this institution to be the best for the construction of a hospital due to corruption schemes even during the presidency of viktor yanukovych, the hospital was built against the background of corruption scandals of the judiciary disputes and arrests, and only at the end of 2022 the higher anti-corruption court announced a verdict in one of the cases of abuse at the okhmatdyt construction site, the former head of the state enterprise ukrmed project will be iryna koval was sentenced to 5 years, and the former director of ukrpromet llc ihor kuchma was sentenced to a term of imprisonment for four years, another suspect in the embezzlement

of funds, maksym naumov, is wanted, the company paid for and ordered construction works of various kinds, including in okhmatdyt, and in this case, it was specifically about the equipment. it was also about the elevators that were ordered, for which 100% of the original payment was paid in advance. the equipment was not delivered by mrs. koval in collusion with her co-conspirators with the head of the enterprise that was supposed to implement this the pseudo-delivery were in a conspiracy, they tried to take measures to hide that allegedly this equipment was preserved somewhere only under this criminal scheme, losses of uah 30 million were caused to the state, the higher anti-corruption court ruled to collect this amount from the suspects for the benefit of the kermed project, which was headed by koval. however

, a member of the kinya board of trustees of meditu, people's deputy maria ionova notes that this is only the amount that was documented according to our calculations at that time, already after the revolution of dignity, that we did an analysis of abuses more than 135 million and even managed to return 62 million through the courts there, if i'm not mistaken, but unfortunately we also fought for 79 million, almost 80 million visited the prosecutor's office and the sbu and managed to say so move this case from its place only when there were already anti-corruption bodies, public activists emphasize that the investigation of the case concerning okhmatdyt developed in parallel with the anti-corruption bodies in ukraine before the creation of the national anti-corruption bureau , before the start of their work, no one at all systematically dealt with this issue and there were many cases in which investigations were started, but

they never even got to the courts in our country , that is, people who received large bribes for organizing such devices then they paid part of these funds to the law enforcement officers and everything was closed after the anti-corruption bodies started to work , another problem arose, the cases got stuck in the ukrainian courts, at first the nabu and the prosecutor’s office were formed, which began to refer cases to the court, absolutely nothing. self-responsibility, and then a big campaign began, an anti-corruption court was created above, and in fact, only in 2019 , all these cases began to simply be transferred to the anti-corruption court, which started, he began to consider them with us , the parties involved in the case tried in every way to prolong the court process, in particular, under the articles on official forgery, they were also found guilty,

but released from responsibility due to the expiration of the statute of limitations under other articles, the decision can be appealed if the case drags on in the appeals chamber, the statute of limitations will expire and according to other articles , it is now important to prevent officials suspected of embezzlement for the treatment of children with cancer from being released from punishment, although not all of them came under investigation those involved in embezzlement in this hospital now talk about the moral point of view to say so it's not that for you and me it's er, well, there's no need to explain anything about the meaning of er help especially to children with cancer. well, it is not clear to you and me. yes, how is it possible to abuse and make money from this? today, the completed building of the hospital to some extent demonstrates the anti-corruption development of ukraine

. i'm not talking only about equipment, i'm talking about medical drugs, too, but first of all, we managed to at least work out and propose to the previous management of the hospital there what concerns the electronic, well, electronic reports in the electronic system the current management of the hospital emphasizes that in 10 years , very tangible changes have taken place, a lot has really changed, starting from communication with the ministry of health and ending with the supply of everything and consumables and equipment and this is how you know, as an example of how it works, you can see this building. it lives so that the children are nearby. here is a christmas tree. it really lives as

a full-fledged hospital, but the old buildings of the hospital , which in a few weeks will celebrate 129 years from the day of its foundation, are being cosmetically renovated. currently, during the war, repairs are being made, people are moving, those more worthy of staying in the ward, children of more worthy conditions are being updated, the equipment is being updated, additional devices are appearing, but i would like to and it will probably become possible to do it completely after the war renovation of the hospital. i am sure that we will continue to work. well, if the entire complex of the okhmatdyt national children's hospital, well, it will be such a business card, well, let's say success and recovery. a modern hospital in which doctors save lives and patients receive services in decent conditions is a symbol of

recovery not only in ukrainian children and the ukrainian system in general, although this process is still ongoing and should continue under the control of civil society even in the conditions of the russian-ukrainian war. the unconquered cities of ukraine are progressive melitopol. one of the most comfortable cities for living in ukraine, but at the same time it suffered due to the frequent raids of invaders in the second world war, it became the main defensive point of the nazis, there was an order to hold the steel gates to the crimea at all costs, after two years of occupation, the residents rebuilt melitopol, turning it into a developed european city, today the residents of melitopol prove to the occupiers that there are not only steel gates in them, but melitopol was and

remains an unconquered ukrainian city melitopol unconquered unconquered cities of ukraine is cozy kherson pearl of the protected territories of ukraine, the city played a significant role in the creation of statehood, became the southern center of the ukrainian revival during the great terror, the nkvdists shot almost 2,000 people for nationalism, and the kherson leadership of the oun, led by bohdan bandera , actively fought against the german invaders, because an angry kherson native would stand against an enemy column, but the occupier would not sleep will soon bow down
