makes soviet stocks, this is a certain market, and in this market there are companies that produce soviet ammunition, and there are also certain countries. for example, if you take, conditionally, for example, pakistan, you can take into it, there is also the production of soviet ammunition, well, they were carried out, that is, in soviet caliber there are manufacturers in the world, but one must understand that the only correct way in any case will be the transition to an exclusively nato-type artillery system, because they can be replaced and repaired secondly, 155 mm ammunition by itself is much more effective than the soviet one, in particular , let’s just talk, it is 10% more, and when we talk about artillery, when we are talking about thousands of shells, then 10% is significant and the indicator immediately becomes secondly the technology itself the production of western ammunition is much more modern than, for example, the soviet ones, they use a much higher-quality explosive than

those that have the effectiveness well, at least twice as much. this is not to mention the fact that there is more explosive in 155 mm ammunition there is much better fragmentation, that is, well, excuse me, everyone probably saw the fragment that came from rogozin, this is the correct size of the fragment that should be provided by western artillery ammunition, and because, well, usually, we had old soviet projectiles, they can generally disintegrate into three the next aspect is that the western artillery has a caliber of 155 mm, it hits further, that is, if you take the classic artillery system of the hummingbird 155 mm with a barrel length of 52 calibers, then it is at 10 km already hits further than the soviet system, we or the russian systems in the caliber of 152 mm is a further aspect because until now their e-e artoridke systems have a large number of some in fact a large

number of high-precision ammunition and we are not only talking about such things as excalibur that is , what are the special pg kits that are actively used in the armed forces of ukraine, that is, they are essentially similar in concept to a bomb that turns into any kit into a high-precision one, and here it is simply wound on the artillery projectile itself a special detonator due to its dynamic wings and guidance system and it practically has the same effectiveness as its calibur at the same time it actually costs 10 times less and at the same time you are talking about the fact that there will be no shortage of art ammunition for the ukrainian army then the question arises that actually then the main restraining factors for conducting offensive operations is actually the number of art systems that ukraine needs, but now everyone knows the indicators that serhiy baranov called the 700 guns there.

the head of the ditch says i want at least 600 guns of 105 and 155 mm caliber, is it possible to somehow estimate today with all those extreme packages from uh friends of uh ukraine in the rammstein format, how many of these grammars we needed, we already received on the current the moment we will receive in the near future here, of course, there is a shortage of ammunition, well, there is not a lot of ammunition, that is, certain ones will be limited, in any case, it will be no matter what. well, ammunition will never, well, it will not be english, because we take ammunition that belongs to the countries of the west i.e. nativ's countries there were never going to use such things as simply a barrage of fire for a whole day to hit or well, just at one point or to hit as the russian army does at the same time the number, then the important indicator here is that if you choose these, it will be announced and based on the

alkaline data, that is, considering that have already been transferred or are these additional systems, because if we take into account those that have already been transferred, then we are talking about three hundred artillery systems of various calibers and of western production. that is, there are 150-150 mm artillery and other systems that have already been transferred to or of soviet calibers. i think it is possible to reach the figure of 300-350, that is, it is still announced, but they will be supplied gradually, another 110 , that is, we are getting closer to these figures, if it was meant that we should get this one in general , it is 500-600 or 700 e- of artillery systems, if they are new ones, well, then it is necessary to understand that our allies need to further expand the production of ammunition and transfer to ukraine even more artillery, at the same time, we must not forget that hm , there was an important aspect when you mentioned these needs we were exterminated put out in parentheses, that is, they were not at all

in the process of discussion, that is, they were not mentioned at the same time, it is necessary to understand that , for example, in western countries, aviation plays the most important role in the remote destruction of the enemy, and it is possible that the allies cannot provide the appropriate number of artillery systems, well, what will happen with this very last pebble that will move this mountain called hand over to ukraine in 16 but when we are really talking about preparation for the next offensive that can be held ukraine, we remember that there was a meeting between general zaluzhny and the head of the us joint staff committee, mark milli, just before ramstein, and this was connected with the fact that the main military commanders are coordinating approaches to planning future offensive operations, in your opinion, what is the most currently ukrainian

army from the point of view even unarmed, because we usually consider only weapons, or are there any things of an asymmetric plan that, in particular, can compensate for the advantages of the russian army in quantitative terms or some such, well, or a silver bullet or some solutions that allow him, without saying it, to ensure intimacy, not to over-overcome, but advantage on the battlefield precisely at the expense of some technological solutions that we usually do not mention. i would say it would not be about certain samples, silver bullets, and not about something new. but about systematicity and complexity, in fact, in relation to the fight against the russian army, there is no need to invent some kind of bicycle, it is already developed, moreover, it is with the maximum efficiency will work. it is that the nato countries that are now transferring equipment to us, which are currently training our military, and even just to use this equipment and to interact, that is, at the level of full-fledged infantry units, at the level of battalions, for example, it is training, that is, they

are teaching how nato was going to fight with the russian federation in fact, that is, it has already been calculated how much is needed to be done. quantitative index because it has been known for a long time that these words are not a hair's breadth away, but with gold on marble, you can write about the fact that if ukraine will measure linearly , because tanks are needed there, what kind of enemy is there to be close to each other or there is artillery, then nato will never help because too never intended to fight in numbers on numbers the advantage is achieved self-complex i.e. better training better equipment better organization better intelligence in business on the battlefield i.e. all this complex of things and it must be achieved and mastered in order to to use this complex advantage as efficiently as possible and simply implement what is laid down in the help

of our allies, combine it with the skill of our fighters and professionalism and simply everything else, and this will be the foundation of the coast in parallel. thank you for these professional comments and our i would like to remind the viewers that on the broadcast of the channel, military experts stressed katkov, the editor-in-chief of defense express. so, if the enemy is numerically superior, then our goal is to defeat the enemy with quality, creativity and modern approaches. we hope that this is exactly the case . will be scaled in the approaches of our armed forces to prepare for large-scale offensives that we expect even in these difficult conditions. these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later from my colleagues on the espresso channel. conversation i for facts and for information it is important well, it is also important to understand what

happened in the world today outside the borders of ukraine my colleague yuri fizer monitored this and most importantly he collected it for us review now we will see it means review and hear poland will formally ask germany for permission to transfer leopard tanks to ukraine and even in the case of berlin's refusal, warsaw will still do it today during a press conference, said the prime minister of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth mateuszmurovetskyi according to him , the main thing for the polish government now is to create at least a small coalition of countries that are ready to give ukraine their leopards, but at the same time, mr. prime minister expressed the hope that the german government will eventually have its own tanks will decide to provide the armed forces of ukraine. the european union must support ukraine so that it can approach

possible negotiations with russia with the maximum possible position of strength, the head of european diplomacy, jose borel, said in an interview with the spanish newspaper abc, according to him, it is now important that the countries member of the eu helped to restore the sovereignty of ukraine, to punish all those guilty of crimes, as well as to agree on the cost and order of the post-war reconstruction of our country, in addition, mr. borel emphasized that supports the provision of tanks to ukraine, but at the same time clarified that these should be sovereign decisions of the member states of the european union. the next two or three weeks will decide the future of europe, the president of the european council, charles michel, said this during a conversation with journalists, according to him, the next few weeks could be decisive in the russian war in ukraine. at the same time, they will determine how europe will live in 2023, therefore, according to the president, eu member states are obliged to provide ukraine as soon as possible

all the necessary support for defeating the aggressor, including its tanks, western countries should continue to help ukraine defend itself from russia, because if they stop giving kyiv weapons, russia will win, but then it will become a nightmare not only for ukraine, but about this before the meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union in jean asselborn, the head of the foreign policy department of luxembourg, told brusseri that according to him, the russian war in ukraine will end only when the leadership of the aggressor country understands that it cannot win. and for this ukraine must have all the weapons necessary for victory on the battlefield berlin, there are no valid arguments for not giving ukraine leopard tanks that is what the minister of foreign affairs of latvia edgar serhinkevych said before the meetings with his colleagues in brussels, he criticized the determination of the government of the current german chancellor olaf scholz and appealed to the leadership of western

countries to give ukraine as soon as possible everything it needs to fight against the aggressor, because according to mr. rynkevych, the next few weeks may become decisive the member states of the european union can ask ukraine to agree to peace talks with russia only if the aggressor country stops shelling civilian and strategic objects, the minister of foreign affairs of italy, antonio ta yani, said in an interview with ilma sajero about the conclusion of any according to the minister, it will be possible to talk about an agreement with russia only after a complete ceasefire by the russian troops, while the head of the italian foreign policy department once again assured that the government of his country will continue to provide military financial aid to ukraine hungary will not support the 10th package of anti-russian sanctions if it includes restrictions on cooperation with russia in the field of nuclear energy, the minister of foreign affairs of the country petersierto said

before a meeting with his european colleagues in brussels, he emphasized that budapest will not support those sanctions that will threaten the energy security of hungary , according to him, the restrictions may have a negative impact on the country's economy, while pansiyartov once again emphasized that anti-russian sanctions are more harmful to europe than to russia, and the 10th package will be a big mistake of the european council. in fact, our speech is a quote from the minister of foreign affairs of hungary. it is finished with hungary and we will start, but we will start with another statement by another person, the mayor of budapest. it is actually the opposite of the position of the statement of the council. yes, let's add to the conversation oleksandr khara, a diplomat, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies, mr. oleksandr, we congratulate you. good evening, mr. vasyl. we

will start with hungary today. although, of course, everything is currently revolving around german tanks and these tricks of diplomacy, military diplomacy, political diplomacy, economic diplomacy , how can we deliver these tanks, how can we negotiate with everyone, but we will talk about hungary, why is it important, because it is an extremum, well, how can you extricate the entire european union? and, in principle, the entire western world, which maybe he doesn't understand something about ukraine, here we panas yart heard in this review from yuri the physicist and he said that it is not because of the oppression of the hungarians in ukraine, well, you know why, maybe he found them, maybe problems in ukraine with solving certain issues of the european union, but the mayor of budapest, the mayor of budapest, whose name is herg, is short , he visited bucha. to see the difference between the victim and the aggressor, and if someone has forgotten how the hungarians experienced the horrors of the 20th century, i advise him to go to bucha near

kyiv and to kyiv and look into the eyes of those who suffered in this massacre, and it will be much and much clearer and more often to see the war than that this is a war between two countries between themselves. no, because it is a war of an evil army that is trying to buy another country. this is a very clear thesis and position. can such statements have an effect on politicians in hungary, because this is the opinion of the mayor of budapest, and perhaps many people . it is worth coming not only to bucha to izyum to e.e. kherson to irpin to other settlements and look into the eyes of those who survived, and this will make the understanding of the war clearer. to remember exactly how soviet tanks suppressed freedom in this country since the cold war and what crimes were committed in this country, this is the first

emphasized point, that is, you just have to remember your history, and the second point, you know, in every democratic country there is, let's say, a dilemma: what to choose more e- values ​​or pragmatic interests well, we see that the current hungary, led by mr. morvin, has no conscience, it does not choose values, and it chooses exclusively its own such profit, political and some kind of economic the interests pursued by the people who surround this government, why do i say this, that it is not only a question of not supplying ukraine with weapons, but also blocking the supply of weapons to the territory of hungary from other nato members, because they actually adopted such a restrictive law, and in fact, that, let's say, is the object of criticism is this government because they are

actually dismantling the remains of the legal mechanisms that protect the country from the usurpation of power, that is, there are problems on the domestic front, but only in relations with ukraine , we will say so, we feel that way it's really good that hungary is different, it's good that such people are telling something there in hungary and there are probably hungarian citizens who are more on the side of ukraine and understand what is happening here rather than a person who actually betrayed values ​​or mr. urban fought against this communist regime against the empire evil and now he has actually turned into such a little dragon yes, if there is a dragon's dinner, if the memory of this black man is a work well, so let's say this is a gypsy shameful situation, definitely but we have what we have what an unpleasant situation i have now

the topic is, but it is worth discussing, because the statement was made. this is an american expert, an experienced carber who was an adviser and the head of nato, as he said. my colleague serhiy zurets said the following phrase before that. well, i summarized everything he said . you, that is, the ukrainians say that we don't give you enough weapons, it means that you didn't do anything to have all this, and he gives many examples about missiles that could do uh, well, remember. we also say about uh alder and about alder m and about a rocket that could only go up to 5,000 km on solid fuel, now it was what i thought it was called, well actually tanks and they sold it in the third largest country in the world. why don't you ask for more, because you actually have him for 8 years and you were warned about this, it was known a long time ago, well, to whom is this criticism from er, first of all, in your opinion, and what does it mean

in the future, they will help but why is this, you know , a little sobriety is given ukrainian society, the ukrainian authorities, first of all, please. well, plus, i want to tell you that i personally have a lot of respect for dr. karbor, he has been in ukraine for more than one month since the 14th year, he went to the front line and made quite interesting reports on the tactics of the russian federation's war, he helped us a military man, literally the day before last december, i was in washington and he was invited to the embassy among other friends of ukraine. i want to say, well , this is such an important intimate thing that he had tears in his eyes and he said, "it's a pity that my government, well, the previous government does not do so much how much does it take to help you, that the best sons of ukraine are dying, that is, he sincerely believes and loves ukraine and in fact, that's why i didn't

take these words as an insult, i would take criticism as absolutely normal, and let's really look each other in the eye. winters in general, yes, that is, we will not single out directly ourselves there, or the previous or current government, we were hoping for some kind of diplomacy, that there would be sanctions, something like that, there would not be much reform, the defense security sector, i’m not talking about was political corruption and ordinary economic corruption really did not invest in strengthening the defense forces, and as such there are certainly objective reasons for this, and the russian federation is the largest nuclear powerhouse and the largest conventional powerhouse of scrap metal in europe, and women are harming them a lot and that is why even if we were an ideal economy and perfectly reformed our security and defense sector, we would not be able to repel this aggression, which was inevitable. but

we really lost most of the time and that he says and he, by the way, i read this article carefully at the beginning - at first, i was very interested in his forecasts and the possibility of scenarios like the katsaps will attack us again in winter or spring, but he thinks that most likely if they have enough knowledge, then it will most likely be at the end of the summer, when they will generate a sufficiently prepared number of these womanizers and will be able to accumulate a certain amount of weapons in order to do something serious in ukraine, that's why he actually operates with what he has and that's how he says that you should thank us, we really thank you first of all first of all, the united states and our other partner for what they give, because they really give a lot, but this much is not enough , taking into account the factor that i have already mentioned, that it is the largest nuclear country and the largest military power in europe in terms of manpower and

equipment, and precisely because of that, we have really stick to certain diplomatic frameworks, let's say , and put pressure on our partners, especially now on the germans, because really what they are doing is unacceptable, taking into account the security challenge not only of ukraine, but the very issue of the existence of the ukrainian state stands now in cannes and a large number of ukrainian citizens, and indeed of europe. and how the end or the results of this war actually depends on how other aggressive regimes in other parts of the world will behave, and first of all we mean china, and how will it look at let's just say that the will of the western partners was enough to help ukraine so that ukraine won and not just lost, as is often said that russia should not win and ukraine should not lose and ukraine should win and russia should lose. if this happens, then there will be completely different scenarios in the indo

-pacific region. i said this about the missile, i was a little confused, i knew that it was not true , but i. km and in principle. well, if it continues to be in the development stage, although there seem to be some e-e samples that were allegedly transferred to ukraine from this e-e from the army peninsula, well, this is not proven, because we seem to have sold them. well, what if there were significantly more of them for example so these rockets then of course, it could have an impact in some way, but it is, well, they are at the stage of development, so now a very important topic, well, finally , an appointment for which, to be honest, it is not a shame in a professional sense, so because there are no questions here, the president should send pavel borisovych ryabiykin to china, he is now he also works in the government. he was a deputy. he headed the ports. he worked as an ambassador. in the kingdom of denmark, he was

an ambassador of the second class. the deputy mayor of kyiv actually well , he is an international lawyer and jurisprudence, he has everything . as if he is an ideal, quite serious and professional person. as far as i understand. please tell his embassy to the people 's republic of china how strong a move this is . what is the main task facing him? well, he will be appointed by the president for example, for everyone . this will not be an easy mission, since china embraces, let’s say, a neutral pro-russian position, because i do not want the russian federation to lose, for the united states and its allies to focus on china, and therefore they do not they help russia as much as putin would like, but on the other hand, they don't let russia sag and lose. i'm not talking about the fact that they don't condemn this aggression, they avoid the word war, they call it something there's a crisis in ukraine and they call for peace in all measure well, yes

yes yes against all the bad for all the good as always this is the first moment and the second moment definitely that china remains and will be such a powerful economy for three time and this is an attractive thing for us but on the other hand there are certain restrictions on well that we have to have in president, from the point of view of the possibility of cooperation with this country, since it is certain that we have to look at certain red lines that have already been drawn in washington and in european capitals, that is, do not give china certain technologies . which can produce something, and so that china does not become so strong that it then resorts to aggression against its neighbors and therefore in such not very favorable conditions when they do not support us very much, at least in words eh, it sounds eh further what europe

actually limits its economic cooperation with china, well, the only exception, for sure , is germany, which sells its shares there in ports and tries to hold on and expand its economic presence, and it is completely clear here, because germany has lost the russian market and it is necessary for it the economy is export-oriented, we need some kind of replacements. they are trying to find in the chinese, but they are making the same mistake as with the russian federation, because china is an authoritarian regime and is quite white more and more if it is aggressive, then it will be important to balance it. but to be honest, i don't expect big breakthroughs from the ambassador and the embassy and our policy in the chinese direction. that's how it really is. it's important. the country has to maintain sober, pragmatic relations, but something so serious or they are managed by their interests more than by any

values, they also oppress the same uyghurs, they also oppress freedom of speech, the rule of law, the same hong kong , they collapsed everything that was there, they look aggressively to taiwan. actually, they are more intelligent in russia, by and large, from the point of view of their behavior and from the point of view of even certain er-e approaches, because they have absolutely harmonious singing, there is a resentment that their illegal and not unjust at one time controlled the european western power, but on the other hand, the growth of nationalism, that they are a great power in the 21st century, and everyone has to reckon with them. well, i am trying to act more and more actively, first of all, in my own region, if you look at how they want to divide, it means that this southern chinese sea, this is very reminiscent of how the russians at one time wanted to divide the sea of ​​azov, the kerch

strait, and for the black sea in a brotherly way, yes , that is, two-thirds of it is taken by the older brother, and the rest is taken by you, and here i am already talking about other things this year they increased the number of flights of russian, i apologize, chinese aircraft into the identification zone of taiwan, they are building up a missile shield, they are building islands there in order to militarize them, to control key straits and key sea lanes, and actually other things that they began to do more actively, and this threatens the neighbors, first of all, and the taiwanese, most importantly, and the hiding is related to the taiwan. to be more precise, the united states has an obligation to protect their independence, or shall we say, a certain autonomy , because the united states recognizes one china, two

systems, and they did not recognize taiwan's independence, but on the other hand, they do not want china to take this island by force, therefore, in principle, this tension will remain with us for literally two minutes , a little less. i will briefly ask a question ipso scandals from the kremlin, the fact that they are growing , and here is how the deputy minister of informatics says that for 80 weeks , the emotions of ukrainians will be pressured every day with scandals, and the state of russia in this war shows that there are already scandals and emotional winding-up. well, they are, in principle, from the very beginning in general, they are the masters here , but without success on the ground , that is, having actually lost the key directions , they need to break our, above all, our will to resist, as well as our international partners, so that they can seem to succeed or not nuclear weapons there or somehow fiddling

with the latest weapons, they threaten that if they give tanks to ukraine, then ukraine will pay for it, as if they can do something worse than what they have already done to the ukrainians and to ukraine, so they will definitely continue but we do not have to understand that this is a struggle for survival and most likely this war is dragging on, so just prepare . it seems to me that this principle should also be applied to the ukrainians or the ukrainians have shown an absolutely high level of understanding of the situation, a high level of resistance to these informational influences and actually the fear that the axis forces have forced upon us. it seems to me that we have absolutely there are all chances just not to pay attention to it
