turned out to be quite successful for the force defense of ukraine. we hope that it is really only the beginning. we have only opened the door now for the supply of tanks to ukraine, and because of that i would not worry too much about the fact that now there are quite a few of them. now to finally unravel this political tangle that arose between the opposition and the ruling coalition in germany and they finally found the formula according to which they said yes, leopard 2 tanks from all countries will be supplied to ukraine, there are several thousand of them on weapons in europe only, and we understand that the number of them can reach hundreds. and this will happen. i hope it will be enough to carry out effective offensive attacks with the operation to liberate ukrainian territories. well, as for russian weapons, of course it is an order of magnitude

weaker than the tanks coming from the west. thank you, it was ivan varchenko, oleksiy hetman, watch it now on the espresso tv channel on our air, serhiy rudenko already has his own program. congratulations serhiy, we are actually waiting olga thank you for your word literally in a few seconds we will start the verdict program glory to ukraine this is the verdict program my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all today january 25 is the 336th day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian invaders the united states of america plans to transfer abrams tanks to ukraine the german government already agreed to the transfer of leopard-2 tanks to ukraine, re-export to other european countries is also allowed, this was announced at a meeting of the german government in lavchos

that at the first stage, germany will hand over 14 tanks to ukraine, the training of the ukrainian military will soon begin, meanwhile, zelensky signed a law that increases the criminal liability of the ukrainian military, and the occupiers are advancing in four directions, on the lyman, bakhmut, avdiyiv, and novopavlov directions, reports the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, sometimes the russian army and continues to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine, as of the morning of january 25, russia has already lost 123.80 people in ukraine in the last day alone the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 910 orks at the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 3,161 tanks, 637 armored combat vehicles , 2,154 artillery systems, 450 rocket salvo systems, 220

air defense systems, 290 aircraft, 281 helicopters, 4,967 units of automotive equipment , 18 ships, boats, 749 cruise missiles, 1,9042 drones units of special equipment, therefore , abrams and leopards will come to ukraine . hours, i want to introduce today's guest - he is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a special officer, a people's deputy of ukraine of the 8th convocation igor lapin p igor good day good health to you thank you for joining our broadcast glory to ukraine glory to the heroes p igor so let's start with fresh news olaf-show just announced that the first batch of leopard 2 will go to ukraine, the

re-export of these tanks to other european countries is also allowed at the first stage, germany will transfer 14 tanks to ukraine, what does this all mean for ukraine in this difficult time from time to time, when russia is preparing for an offensive well , we are accordingly preparing for a counteroffensive, well , first of all, this means that the world community has, in principle, already irrevocably made, let's say, its choice in favor of ukraine, and the world community, giving us offensive weapons, understands that this will lead to the defeat of russia and before its collapse. therefore, western leaders are already ready for the defeat of russia, because there were many who were ready for the victory of ukraine, but even among them there were those who, let's say, not about the defeat of russia, to save face negotiation processes and so on today everyone is ready and in principle this is a positive thing that for us it also means that we need to

continue the mobilization because someone has to drive those tanks and the russians will throw bodies at them. exhaustion from the war on the front lines , being under constant stress, this suggests that the guys need rotation and most importantly, the state of ukraine needs reserves, having reserves we will be able to plan even more counteroffensive operations and leopard tanks also, the announcement of the transfer of abrams tanks to us speaks specifically about our let's say a victorious offensive, but this is the victory. it will not happen today because the mobilization resource of the russian federation is quite large. there are also powerful resources, taking into account the fact that the american partners recently made public the transfer of an incomprehensible

weapon to korea, so far there is still an investigation into what north korea is transferring, plus we have theses iran well, of course, belarus as an ally is a loyal ally of putin, so in this situation we see that the russians are also preparing for major offensive actions and their ambitions and their appetites for gluttony have not yet decreased, information appeared on the eve of the decision of the german government that the united the united states is ready to announce the supply of abrams tanks to ukraine today, january 25, a statement from the administration of joe biden is expected, possibly even from the president of the united states of america, but then on the eve of his own decision of the german government, the americans said that the new hai from the first catch will announce the supply of german leopard tanks to kyiv, and

there is information that poland has already asked germany to grant permission for the transfer of leopard-2 tanks to ukraine . we know that tank manufacturers must give permission for the re-export of tanks , the proposal or initiative of the netherlands must go through the same procedure, because they announced that they will provide ukraine with 18 leopard 2 tanks , the prime minister of the country, mark kryukta in an interview with frankfurt algae site property well, spain also has 347 leopards in its arsenal and is ready to supply tanks to ukraine. that ukraine

needs about 500 tanks when he said that what ukraine needs. what do you think , mr. igor, that the supply and arrival of leopards and abrams in large numbers to ukraine can radically change how much the situation on the eastern and southern fronts , taking into account the fact that this is a very serious weapon that was expected in ukraine and that the best weapon that the world can give, well, once again i emphasize that tanks are weapons of a more offensive action, armor is needed because the infantry will not advance far with a taking into account the fact that the russians have a very large number of tanks. also, you see how many of them we have already burned and they have not run out of them yet. therefore, this is the only counterbalance. the second point is that abram tanks, of course, we also need them, but let's not

forget that there are completely different engines there. i have repeatedly said in some broadcasts that these are gas turbine engines on those tanks, they are not on solar power, but on high-quality aviation kerosene, let's say, and one abrams tank burns in 8 hours. but he seriously needs his repair base and logistical support, let's not forget that abrams is traveling from america and it is far and long and the rembaza is located in america by leopards, it is a little easier and we are interested because the repair bases are large capacity in poland, spare parts are produced in germany and, accordingly, the logistics arm is much closer in terms of spare parts, and a tank is any kind of equipment. well, they break down, let’s say so, it is a target for everything that the enemy has, because it always becomes the main target for the enemy and at the same time, it is a very serious help to our infantry , because it is quite difficult to advance without tanks . well, let's not forget that we

also have a certain number of our tanks, also 64, plus a little lisa from the enthusiastic from the russians, well, other countries that have t-72 tanks also give them to us, so in principle, the formation of an offensive group for ukraine is for that counteroffensive . well, this is already a question of the general staff, which plans operations. where will it go, or will it go as a separate team? let’s say, brigaded with battalions, or will it go, dilute the existing battalions, reinforce and add to it? this is already a question for the general staff. it will be from my side, well, let's put it mildly, it's not correct, the hottest point that is currently on the map of hostilities in ukraine is, of course , bahmuty soledar, the operational situation from the eastern front of the district bahmuty and soledar

from a serviceman with the call sign kyivan, as of the morning of january 25, let's let's see what's happening there soledar. the city itself is under rotten control, and the armed forces units are scattered around the outskirts, so everything is clear there. magyar reported between soledar and bakhmut there, pidgorodne is right on the mountain novobakhmut e-e now massively climbed e-e in avalanches of infantry, armored vehicles, tanks are used, there are some minor e-e advances, but they are not such as to pass them off as mega e pobednye relations. out of the blue, here is patricia lumba, the ticks on the sides are very strong, there, er, they

are crawling like cockroaches, er, but our units stubbornly hold the line of defense of the basin, inflicting fire damage, and er, the artillery is working well, mortars and uavs work very hard, aerial reconnaissance , adjusting fire, that is, they don’t, well, these snipers carry such crazy losses that, well, normal people just didn’t do it. now they are also throwing turntables and planes, but in the past, i have heard. well, yesterday only three turntables were shot down, if there were. the same germany and france gave these anti-aircraft guns to the tip and desks and some others. that's why we cleared the sky keys from this pillow case there a long time ago

the information is from volodymyr zelenskyi, he says that the occupiers are increasing the pressure on the eastern front, krang wants to throw new forces and equipment to the front, we will hear from the supreme commander-in-chief, russia is preparing for a new wave of aggression with the forces it is able to mobilize now, the occupiers are already increasing the pressure on the bakhmut ughledar and in other directions and want to increase the pressure on a larger scale so as not to recognize the fallacy of aggression , the masters of russia want to throw more of their people and equipment into combat operations, and therefore we are all in to the free world, we must strengthen our cooperation in order not only to respond to the next russian criminal actions, although this will be, of course, there will be a response. and in order to prevent new russian criminal actions as much as possible, the initiative in the war

must remain with our forces, we know, mr. major, that russia is now going to the next step is to increase the number of their army to one and a half million people by the new year, this figure was 1 million 150,000 people as of february 24, 2022, there were 1 million of them, and now they are still increasing their army. what should we do besides what you already said that the equipment is coming and this equipment needs people who will work on it, who will fight on the eastern and southern fronts. do we need to increase the army or do we need to increase the mobilization reserve ? to the point that the war will be protracted and long. well, the first thing we need to do is, of course, to continue

mobilization measures, and i want to call on all citizens to stop, you know those relations . space, and it consists of those little ukrainians who are making history today, so we have to continue the mobilization so that the boys are trained . loses for us today, we must accumulate reserves for the rotation of military personnel to form new units, including we must accumulate reserves and ukrainians must become part of the armed forces and not just sit on the sofa, you know i believe in the armed forces, well. super. and the armed forces must do everything and protect everyone there, so in this situation i think so. i don’t see today those hundreds of thousands of ukrainian citizens who were caught in the first days of the war, how they broke into the military commissars because we were all looking for weapons, we

didn’t have any ammunition, the volunteers lived and tore in their hands, as they say, they tried to provide for their uh guys, and in principle it was clear. well, today we can’t waste time because, you know, lately you know this tape obituary where such and such a soldier will die, such and such a soldier will die then in many of those who are still remembered from their comrades from the 14th year, i am very worried that the soldiers are the ones who gave time to the soldiers to learn and become soldiers so that they do not end before the soldiers learn, and in order for this not to happen, the soldiers must know that there the soldiers learn to become soldiers in the rear and they can replace them and they can replace them if they have to do this, that's why we have to do it . on the topic of the young conscripts, let us fight, that is, they will throw everyone away

, that's why this meat grinder will be for quite a long time and we need to be ready for it . this is a shelter for small ukrainians, after all, this shelter for small ukrainians must exist in order for it to exist, we must become this armed forces, there will be no great ukrainians if the small ones do not make history. i would like to see if it weren't for us. you would have those big helmsmen. well, that 's another story. e-e law numbered 82-71 was signed, which caused a lot of trouble, especially among those who fight at the front, which

provides for increased liability for military personnel. i will remind our television viewers that the document increases the criminal liability of military personnel for the use of drugs and alcohol, as well as for failure to comply with the orders of the leadership, in particular , it is prohibited to mitigate the punishment. whether to give conditional terms for servicemen convicted of certain types of crimes, disobedient execution of an order, threats or violence against the desertion chief, this bill was supported by valery zaluzhny how are you, sir major, despite the fact that you are an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, i. how do you assess, although the vertical should be quite clear in the army? how do you assess this bill and whether it is more correct already the law because it was signed by the president of ukraine, look at the fact that it is necessary to strengthen responsibility, in principle, this is an unambiguous position if someone betrayed his brothers. well,

this is understandable, but at one time i was a critic of this draft law precisely in the context of injustice, so because if we are talking about martial law if we want to strengthen the responsibility of military personnel, then for the sake of the principle of the basic principle of equality of all before the law, and this is guaranteed by the constitution, then we need to strengthen the responsibility of all categories of crimes in during the period of martial law, then the principle of equality of all before the law will be in place and the constitution will not be violated. it is in this context that some people say, well, he supported it. yes, of course, he supported it, because i also had a situation when a neighboring unit was put on the defensive for 9 km and i had to do this. to patch up with the forces of one company, and not a reserve company, and which had a certain certain area of ​​responsibility. this was under popasna. by the way, in the direction of bakut, so

i emphasize once again, i lived it in my time. they didn't warn the neighbors, that is, i also had a threat of encirclement of the battalion. yes, i know what it is, but i saw another story, as we would call it in the army - this is an operation point, when without carrying out certain intelligence, to intelligence, when just stupidly, some commander received an order to take such- then the settlement and he gives the order, we take everything, there is nothing there, they flew and looked. there is nothing there, and the guys are leaving, and the tanks are sitting there, and the armor is sitting there, and stupidly, a whole platoon of 23 men who was going to storm the operation stupidly, all of them died, and many of them announced missing because they didn't even pull out the bodies like that. please tell me in this context, the officer who gave the order to carry out the order from his superior to storm this settlement, he broke the law . heroes, then we would judge them, well

, you understand, in this context, you need to be very, very, very balanced. well, this is stalin's order 227, don't take a step back . the russian army, yes, because everything is based on insurance, punishments, and so on, and how does this law differ from stalin's 227th order in the context, that is, in this context, i am not saying now that there is no step back and shoot let's say the equal equality of all before the law of everyone and kyril tymoshenko and shapovalov, who simply resigned, you understand from the following the minister of defense and these leaders of the zaporizhia regional military administration who are connected with a corruption scandal, embezzlement of a humanitarian worker, there is no increase in punishment for the period of martial law, well

, i apologize, we have equals. yes, non-compliance with constitutional norms in the context of the equality of all before the law, we have already mentioned tymoshenko's wings and other personnel reshuffles that took place over the past few days, we know that the deputy prosecutor general has resigned oleksiy symonenko and vyacheslav shapovalov, deputy minister of defense, after the scandal with the prices of the purchase of products for the military from the army, the cabinet of ministers has already agreed and dismissed the five heads of the regional military administrations of dnipropetrovsk, zaporozhye, kyiv , sumy, and kherson . about personnel

decisions and noted that the internal problems that hinder the state will be cleaned up, we will hear from zelensky, society saw the next personnel decisions that were adopted, i emphasize this word, the next appropriate steps each of them will continue to exist. the society will see and i am sure that i support any internal problem that hinders the state . it is being cleaned up and will be cleaned up. it is fair. it is necessary for our protection. and it helps our rapprochement with european institutions. we need a strong state and ukraine will be just like that today. with my decree, i implemented another decision of the national security council, details later, zelenskyi says that those who sit in positions there should not loot and engage in corruption, but well

, obviously, the problem is not only in the people there or in personalities who sit there, and in the system that exists a general system in ukraine, because you see , a year of war or 11 months there did not prevent people from stealing on the humanitarian side, you are marauders on the army and well, in principle, to live as they lived before the war, isn’t there some kind here some kind of contradiction that people can change the system when and how there as omelchenko yushchenko said who is there that heysei is flaming an asshole well somewhere about the same well we need to change the system see what this situation with this scandal has revealed well for tymoshenko we have already talked about a volunteer jeep on which he went there and was not declared by someone else, well, that’s a question for nabu, and to be honest, i hardly believe

that this will be the basis for criminal proceedings. the second thesis is that the heads of certain military administrations went there. kyrylo tymoshenko lobbied his time, that is, they removed his people, well , fairmak is a handsome champion, but now what else has been revealed in this system? today i heard about the dismissal of the heads of prosecutors' offices in these regions. not us became independent. this is an even worse story that now needs our attention. that's how the prosecutors left together with the heads of the region. you understand the ab situation, that is, what should be independent of the politicians and the head of some administration. it's completely theirs, that's how the system was built . all the spiders were

assigned to lozynskyi, he bailed uah 800,000, that is, a swindle of almost half a million dollars, and the bail is 800,000. well, to be honest, i remember general marchenko with his bail of 20 million, if i'm not mistaken . maybe i made a mistake, you can correct me journalists, they understand better, they have more opportunities to analyze all those processes. to be honest, i don't have time for this kyiv counterbalance in this green and eye, you know , in this sticky because what is happening today is corrupt in this scandal. yes, in contrast to them, we are reading today by the way, we were able to find out from foreign sources about the step of the industrious man, he transferred the million to the armed forces that fell to him from the sky, but the man made a small county and made this will, so he transferred this million to the armed forces, you understand, and they are lozynskoe timoshenkos there are uh, raznyshchenkas in the dnipro, they are there simply because of their pine trees, because of their tylok. i apologize, they launder the

money there, they hide it there. halimon is also dismissed from the position of the head of the faction. he had halimon as his deputy. and what does he give me from the fact that he was fired, that is, boy, you are fired. you can take the loot for her to spend. well, i remember very well how they cut three throats, but damn, not like that. well, i'm being honest. well, under yanyk, there was no such thing. do you remember some bribes there and that we had heard or seen or even knew something there ? i am now speaking for the investigative journalists, that is, i am not even speaking for the system, as the system did not punish then and gives the opportunity to go and spend after being released, to date, they have released the measurer. what else did the minister of defense say, he brought it to the point of absurdity. will be meters and the candies will be measured. i don’t know there by diameters or vice versa. well, to be honest,

no one paid attention to the continuation of this story , the same journalist wrote that the price for border guards who are in bahmut in the right corner is cheaper than for the ministry of defense essay for soldiers who are in the left party, i.e., the purchase, even taking into account the pred that rereznikov inflicted there. and you know, if he told me about that nonsense, i would think that he is not out of luck, but he endured this nonsense, so he is in luck and in the dark because he understands that if chickens, chickens, you and they buy for mine for 120 uah, and reznikov, this justifies, so i appeal to him. listen, and out of 13 billion, 30% is three yards. and it will go down your throat because bryz

-variskov is in the topic and in fate, he fences off this entire procedure by blaming it. by the way, your fellow journalists. of defense, the director of a laying company that does not even have the number of logistics workers, which has 1,000 uah on accounts, this is the same person who is the director of another bilotserkivska voyentorg. if i am not mistaken, the laying company that owns already has, to date, receivables to the ministry of defense for 40 million uah, this is for a million dollars, this is the same person, therefore, they are different in fate and in the topic, this is my conclusion unintelligible, you have already asked about our colleague yuriy nikolov, who actually conducted this investigation, which was published in mirrors of the week, yes, you are talking about this analysis between the purchase price for the purchase

prices for the ministry of defense and the dpsu of the border service eggs at uah 17 per piece to the ministry of defense in the dpsu and uah 5, 10 kopecks , 6 uah 60 kopecks, that is, almost three times higher for ministry of defense cabbage 30 hryvnias per kg at the ministry of defense and 9 hryvnias 93 kopecks and up to 17 hryvnias at the state border service buckwheat 83 hryvnias per kg at the ministry of defense 53 hryvnias 10 kopecks at the state border service well obviously obvious after that after all this information, it is necessary not to threaten the journalist with a nikolov e-e article for treason, which is actually happening now, and they are trying to present him with some claims that he published some
