offensive on ukraine well, dmitry medvedev dreams of a new war, a third world war , we will talk about this during the next hour, our guest politician-diplomat and extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the united states states of america in 2015-2019 valery chaly, we are waiting for valeriy chaly to be on the air well, in the meantime, you probably already know, dear friends, that this series of resignations and personnel changes announced by president zelenskyi and his team will take place today, the deputy wrote a resignation letter today the head of the office of the president of ukraine, kyrylo tymoshenko, also resigned, deputy prosecutor general oleksiy symonenko, who was vacationing with his family on winter holidays abroad, deputy minister of defense vyacheslav

shapovalov shapovalov wrote his statements that i am forced to resign because there are accusations that the purchase prices for the armed forces of ukraine were inflated in the mirror of the week there was an investigation that actually describes these accusations or substantiates these accusations shapovalov says that he does not what is he not guilty of according to the traditions of european countries? he is writing a resignation letter and where he resigned. in addition , there was information that the deputy minister of infrastructure development and territorial development also wrote a resignation letter. communities vyacheslav bad weather not literally a few days ago the cabinet of ministers of ukraine dismissed from his post another deputy minister of infrastructure development of the territory and communities

who was caught in a $400,000 bribe by the national anti-corruption bureau and actually about what these mean personnel changes , how they will affect the position of ukraine, after talks with the institution, we will talk in particular with valery, the guy p valery good day, good health to you and thank you for joining our broadcast, mr. valery good day glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so mr. valery , the great personnel purge announced by the zelenskyi team and the president of ukraine himself has begun, and the public accusations by the zelenskyi team of looting, bribery and other illegal actions during the war led to a series of personnel resignations. i have already mentioned the resignation of tymoshenko, deputy

minister of defense of the deputies of the minister of community development, territory and infrastructure and the deputy prosecutor general of ukraine as the current personnel changes and resignations, or simply put, a purge, a personnel purge as it is will affect our negotiations and the event , because it is clear that before criticizing the event, because whoever does not fulfill their obligations to ukraine, obviously the ukrainian government must also demonstrate that it is intolerant of those who engage in bribery and looting inside the country as it will affect our positions in the negotiations with the west. well, in fact, despite the fact that this is not my operation, it is not a diplomatic direction and a foreign policy, but you are right that there are certain markers and indicators that we ourselves need

perform in order to achieve our goals, if we break down all of our goals into three main ones, it is obvious that this is a victory and that, uh, so that there are no issues with the supply of weapons, so that no one can use the phrase corruption abroad, because in fact, this is what i received last the other day, there are many such messages from washington from london, first of all, to resolve this matter very quickly, which is such a very serious hryvnia already for procurement , because it can cause a serious image and reputational effect for ukraine class well, it's good that there is already a reaction, after all, it could have been even faster, but it is. now , with regard to two more goals - this is integration and

joining nato and the european union, without this , our victory will not be final and will not happen, because nato is the provision of a reliable security umbrella the european union is the reform and standards of the social, economic and political life of the country, and we also have many declared goals that require a transparent personnel policy and effective management of the fight against corruption. that is, this is our task, and i will conclude only one thing, and you don’t need all the things that are called under one roof, that well, in the list of surnames, you called, let’s say, mr. negodu, that is , the former head of the department, but it’s just that the ministry was disbanded, and therefore the reason for the part of people who go to the ministry of criminal development is completely different than scandals connected with other resignations well, not resignations, by the way, but dismissals due to resignations, this is a political move, this dismissal is for

various reasons. but i think that it will be right if in some cases, as i said, mr. negoda, we will understand that the opposite is necessary thank you for your work. and the dismissal of others must not end . there must be another investigation and it is possible to even win in court. valeriya , they write an application for dismissal at their own will , someone like kyrylo tymoshenko writes glory of the zsu on the application, draws hearts and writes honor, although it is clear that you are the current one situation and obviously western countries are waiting for justice and the correct conclusions of the ukrainian authorities and society because in the conditions of war any suspicion of looting or bribery or that someone is trying to make money from the blood of our of the military standing in the east and in the south

fighting in the trenches is obvious. obviously, this is also a certain marker and zelenskyi’s team understands that it is necessary to show zero tolerance for what is happening at the same time . border during the war, now, in accordance with the decision of the national security council , it will be possible for officials to leave the territory of ukraine only on business trips, as he informed in his evening address to ukrainians president volodymyr zelenskyy, let's see what zelenskyy said. there is a principled decision of the national security council regarding the departure of officials abroad. this applies to all officials of the central

government at various other levels of local government . outside the scope of the civil service, officials will no longer be able to go abroad for vacation for some other non-state purpose, the five-day period of the cabinet of ministers must develop such a procedure for officials to cross the border so that the basis could only be a real business trip well , information appeared that the cabinet of ministers agreed to the dismissal of five heads of the kyiv dnipropetrovsk, zaporizhzhia, sumy, and kherson regional military administrations oleksiy kuleba, who headed the kyiv regional military administration will replace kirill tymoshenko in the office of the president of ukraine, valery, again, i have a

question for you, not as a diplomat, but as a politician, these personnel changes and in general er, the entire bureaucratic structure that exists, which er, during the year, actually remained the same as it was before the war, er, should the ukrainian authorities take certain steps so that , after all, in the conditions of the war, everyone without exception , including the officials, felt that after all, there is a war in ukraine to be responsible for it and not to take steps that then lead to bets on one's own wish, although in reality it is not such a thing anymore and the same kyril tymoshenko, who was accused of buying a house and buying a car there , clearly had his own desire and appropriated a car that would have been intended for the ukrainian army, how much is this state car according to you over the last year,

because it was rebuilt, or was it rebuilt at all, or does it continue to drive on the same wheels that were before the war, well, let's start with the good, with the fact that public resonance despite the fact that there really are such screaming facts, not that they are illegal there, it may be going abroad, but listen , you need to have someone's conscience, moreover, i will tell you, uh, if we don't even take corruption such cases are purely during the war, er, everyone is engaged in their own affairs, improving their own family well-being, and they are very surprised why they are criticized, so i will say that er, and the decree has all the necessary procedures for civil servants, so i am telling you i will explain to me that one civil servant will not go abroad without the consent

of his superiors, if it concerns the heads of departments, firstly, there is a decision of the national security council , and secondly, that it was also used before, that without permission, let's say all key persons in the country, they are without permission and the president and you can't go anywhere under the eyes of the government, that's all, you don't even need a decree, the first, the second, of course , during vacation, when there is a vacation, and it seems that nadiya is the direct boss of a person, then you can leave, but this is also doubtful because now there is martial law, that is why i am sure that there is no in the decrees it is a matter here it is simply a matter of inserting people into their responsible position of work and uh, it is necessary to do so that the personnel policy is effective, who among these people appoints who puts them in positions? they change, they are fired, that’s normal, uh, this process needs to be speeded up, you

’re working inefficiently, you’re fired, especially since these positions are political, for example, the deputy minister, for example , the rotation has to be fast too, and it’s possible that a person there couldn’t do it in this position, he could do it in another one . and i’m not talking about any of those suspicions of corruption immediately, only the suspicion flew away simply, well, this is not the time when you can play with it, but at the same time, it is not necessary to play this card purely for such informational political purposes, that is, people who are really investigating showed that there are no problems, it is also necessary to declare this publicly, a person cannot be a civil servant simply to be some kind of puppet for the solution of political forces, no , everything must be clean, honest and transparently expressed, there is nothing wrong even if the court makes a decision, the judicial system is also a complete reformation, but in any case in the case of this clowning, these declarations with hearts and all kinds of kisses

must be stopped, i will explain why no normal lawyer in the office of the president will not miss such a statement, well at least it used to be the form is certain, that is why this is a game for the public. and if that is how people in such positions are played, i do not understand at all why it is to publish their statements on this, to make hype, that is, everything has moved on with him, you work in another sector, you help a volunteer, what are the problems here, before, that is what president zelenskyy did with the previous people who worked in the government threw everyone out, yes, because they just came upstairs to study. well, these new faces understood that there are procedures, there are some rules, and it takes three or four years before that to understand everything, this is alarming that is, which should not be like that, let them not perform the functions , but perform the functions of increasing

the efficiency of the work of state institutions, because the problem in ukraine is not even so much with corruption, although it is also there, but to a greater extent with state institutions for the efficiency of management, and in no case can you nod to political watchers and to open, as already now, some cases of me about treason. this will simply be a disaster for the official , so that he will take a position and instead of taking a responsible political position in the conditions of the war, he will start as journalists in this way, we have an enemy to wage war against, and the situation is not easy now, therefore, the effectiveness of public administration, constant changes, if necessary, people, but also the preservation of reputation if they have shown themselves positively to the fact that other positions are ours to the audience, i

will clarify and give clarifications about these possible criminal proceedings against our colleague yury nikolov, because he is the author of the investigations into the inflated prices of products for the purchase of products for the armed forces and what this investigation turned out to be in the mirror of the week and literally well, just an hour later it became known that they want to initiate criminal proceedings against yuri nikolov under the article of high treason, they say that after publishing this data, he is a person who falls under the norms of the article of high treason well, we will monitor it, we will talk about it all and obviously , nabu and other anti-corruption bodies will help us in this, well, at least nabu has confirmed that they have several cases regarding the ministry of defense

. german defense ministry boris pistorius after a conversation with nato secretary general jens stolder-stonderg that berlin has not yet made a decision on the transfer of leopard tanks to ukraine at the moment there is no new information the situation has not changed the minister said we are preparing a decision which will be very soon as i said rammstein i i support our partners if they want to start training ukrainians on these tanks, we will not interfere with this, because we and but i would say that we are preparing our decision, a few days ago, the minister of foreign affairs of the federal republic anna lena berbuk of germany said in an interview with a french television company that the german government will not prevent the supply of german leopard-2 tanks from

poland to ukraine. for germany to give permission for the transfer of these leopards to mr. valery, what does this mean in diplomatic language, that is, germany still continues to hope that without their direct participation, it means the transfer of tanks from germany to ukraine leopard e-e ukraine can get by and the war with russia can end correctly i understand , well my conclusion is this i made that germany and the leadership of germany in particular says oxford is deliberately delaying e-e supplies of weapons to ukraine for the first time this is a conscious decision all the explanations that were made now for nothing they talked about the fact that we cannot

master our soldiers with higher education , tanks cannot exist, they talked about the fact that in general they need to fix it with something special well, they came up with any explanations in fact, the reasons are political and this is a medical fact, that this is a delay, a deliberate delay in the supply of weapons, why is this happening ? well, here you can ask, it is stated that there may be an escalation on the part of russia, and germany does not want to do this, but first of all, there are already tanks in ukraine, and secondly, escalation took place without the sound of russia, and what is it like on the dnipro, according to the peaceful inhabitants of dead ukrainians? in front of anna of the sachs in order to maintain some

more special relations with russia in the future, all of russia, which is criminal and which is currently destroying european security, including german german security, in essence, well, there is no evidence in this, but it looks like journalists, german experts are german, maybe they know something when they write about what separates and keeps there from these decisions by some agreement, i would not like this, of course, because germany declares its desire to be the locomotive of the development of europe together with france , what kind of locomotive does not take it upon itself lit functions that is, it doesn't look funny anymore, it's not funny at all to us because every leopard that is not placed now is hundreds of our dead deer, unfortunately germany shows its determination to share the common e-e

leadership of the nato countries, it carries out responsibility and support, it can thank you in fact, the paradox is that germany helps, but its reputation does not always lose because the so-called dishes of the rear give high-level support to the military and mortars now and from armor in 2000. that is, they give military support, but that's all the delay is caused by the active assessment of the german leadership, first of all, they already have in ukraine and the population and the bundestag, how to fix this is very simple, the minister of defense should come, if not the chancellor, then in kyiv next weeks to say that germany will not wait there now, when the poles will declare that they they will hand it over themselves, and germany made a decision not only to allow the supply of leopards to others, but our soldiers have already successfully learned how to supply them to ukraine

. that you have enough now for the defense of ukraine. this would be a normal reaction and in the end they will turn this pyramid upside down. i believe in germany, they expected such actions. is it possible to somehow explain this uh-uh reaction of iol schultz and the leadership of the federal republic of germany in general with this reluctance or to explain the desire not to do something contrary to that in russia, because the germans had many reasons for 100 years later to apologize or repent to the russians, well, you know, we can analyze this motivation there, we can express our opinion, but the fact remains the fact, uh, i think it's not our question to take care of the internal affairs of

germany, the voters of germany should write to their leaders why this is so, but i will say one thing , uh, it's a war with russia, it's not a war only for the sovereignty of ukraine, it's a war for european security, unfortunately, unfortunately, we lost contact with valery chalym. now we will restore this connection, please, dear tv viewers, viewers who are watching us now on social networks, unfortunately, the connection is unstable now, uh, in ukraine, friends, we are working live tv channel espresso and also on youtube and our social networks for those who are currently watching us on youtube, please like it so that this video is trending on youtube well, subscribe to our youtube channel in addition, join our social networks we are everywhere in addition we we are still working for you on

the espresso tv website 24 hours a day, seven days a week, we are working for you, the news of ukraine in the world is the most operative information on the eastern and southern fronts, and we have resumed contact with valery tea p valery once again i congratulate you and unfortunately, the connection was interrupted while you were explaining or at least documenting germany's reluctance to open the door for leopards to ukraine, well, you spoke very briefly, you asked about the motivation, yes, that is, about the fact that they are singing about russia themselves, uh, motivation can be different. i say it again i want to say that this was not heard. germany must understand that this is not a war only in ukraine, it is a war in europe in europe, which germany is the continental leader , and germany must now share responsibility for european security, this

means that if german soldiers do not fight for the future of europe, then all the equipment must be provided. without hesitation, everything that germany can provide to ukraine, that is. and that's all. the main thing now is what decision should be made . we have problems with communication again. sorry, dear viewers, now we will restore communication with valery, man. unfortunately, the connection is unstable, we are talking about the leopards who should have arrived or who were promised in ukraine, who are waiting in ukraine , not in positions on the eastern and southern fronts. well, of course, we are talking about the fact that russia can now resort to offensive

actions in the coming months, at least this is the conclusion drawn by the analysts of the institute for the study of war, they confirm that russia may begin offensive actions in the coming months, in particular in the spring, experts point out that according to ukrainian intelligence estimates, russian troops are preparing for offensive operations in the spring or early summer of 2023 which partially confirms the assessment of the institute for the study of war that russian troops can carry out a decisive offensive in the coming months by analyzing the collected data the experts of the institute noticed that russia continues to deepen military and economic relations in the morning, striving for mutual evasion of sanctions. war - it

leaves an imprint on the calves, we need to understand that there will be success at the front when there will be hope and a lot to do this is how i already told our tv viewers about the conclusions of the analysts of the institute for the study of war on american, they are saying that russia may go on the offensive for three days in the coming months on the territory of the ukrainian state, and we know that already in february, the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikova, announced the ninth ramstein. what is the eighth ramstein they expected that it would be a tank, but it did not happen in february, obviously the final decisions should be made according to your opinion, or the world except for germany

probably understands that the future of the world and europe will be decided during the next there for three or six months, and this is the place where it will be decided is ukraine. well, let's start with the informational messages about the offensive and about the scale and about the fact that this, to be incredible, is part of an informational and psychological operation, i am focusing on the official statements of our that is, the military should be taken seriously in any plans, but make some kind of horror picture out of it, as russia wants to impose this. it should not be

done . this is definitely playing along with word. posed at first, they already thought it out, but finally, it is realistic, that is, now they are more likely to prepare for the next how to get out of the war. and for this they do not want to raise the stations . to your leaders, your compatriots, and you are just there to drink in order to simply give russian politicians the opportunity to preserve the regime. so here we are waiting, but this does not reduce the challenges, that is, for this we need to fight in numbers and quality, we need these weapons that we talked about, and not only tanks, but long-range systems and aircraft, that is, the understanding of the military in

this regard is now needed
