the enemy's radio-electronic warfare station , the enemy continues to suffer significant of casualties so the 15th city multidisciplinary hospital of the jubilee luhansk oblast delivered up to 300 mercenaries of the so-called wagner pvk because of the that most of them are carriers of such diseases as hiv, aids, syphilis, tuberculosis and pneumonia , doctors refuse to provide them with medical care, another 650 occupiers died for the motherland on ukrainian land, such liberators. already more than 126,000 in the past day , the russian army has lost 8 tanks, 22 armored combat vehicles and 10 units of automotive equipment. in addition, our defenders destroyed seven artillery systems of the invaders , approximate data remind us that the general staff of ukraine needs long-range missiles, in particular

, to protect against such russian attacks as in kostyantynivka, as a result of which three people died and 14 were injured, president volodymyr zelenskyi said, according to him, such terror would be stopped. somewhere far from the front line , the ukrainians will destroy their missile bags with them. we will do everything that the partners have opened this life . attacks of all and other similar weapons, the newly elected president of the czech

republic, petro pavel, together with the president of slovakia, plan to visit ukraine and meet with volodymyr zelenskyi from uzanovich putova. already today and in particular will discuss the upcoming visit, let us remind you that the former chairman of the nato military committee, peter pavel, became the new president of the czech republic takes an openly pro-ukrainian position, the israeli army led troops in the cities of hem and beit umaru to the palestinian authority, the goal was to eliminate the infrastructure and manpower of local terrorist groups controlled by iran, this coincided with a series of powerful explosions that were planned on sunday night in several iranian cities , local changes were reported by the drone attack in several cities, objects of military infrastructure, in particular oil refineries and centers for the production of ammunition, in

swakhan in the city of hamadan, the light also went out in almost all of iran, problems with the internet in the ministry of defense of the country confirmed only the incident of shooting, while the attack by quadcopters was called unsuccessful, according to the agency, one of the drones was shot down by the anti-aircraft missile complex, and the other two fell into defensive traps and exploded, the attack is attributed to the israeli defense forces, while officially with real as did not comment on this assumption that sweden is forced to pause the process of joining nato, the minister of foreign affairs of the country, tobias boles strem, said that this is connected with the events of recent weeks and the aggravation of arose in the relations between sweden and turkey, in particular, after the burning of the koran near the embassy in stockholm and anti-turkish protests in the country, official istanbul accused sweden of violating its obligations, or according to the head of the swedish foreign ministry, before joining the alliance, they made a lot of efforts to soften the defense

of turkey however, it will take time , while the minister still expressed hope that sweden's full membership in the alliance will be approved in july at the nato summit. one of the main news of the past week was the decision of the united states to sell abrams tanks to ukraine, this was announced by president joe biden on january 24, ukraine will receive a total of 31 machines , which is the equivalent of one battalion, but when the abrams will be able to help the defense forces liberate their territory under the question of m1 abrams, the main battle tank of the third generation, the production of the united states, it was named in honor general creighton abrams , the former chief of staff of the us army and commander of the armed forces in vietnam , the decision on january 24 to send tanks to ukraine was all the more unexpected because the white on the eve of the public announcement, the house announced the impossibility of supplying abrams to the european

theater of war, despite the demands of kyiv and public pressure from berlin, because germany was also under pressure to send leopards to ukraine, but there is a huge gap between the decision and actual deliveries, most likely the tanks will be purchased through the fund is known as the initiative to promote the security of ukraine usa, this means that the administration of joe biden will order equipment from the industry and not transfer from existing stockpiles of weapons to another mechanism to buy these machines from the allies who operate them, the usa will repair them and then send them overseas, the process can last months or even years , the representatives of the united states have repeatedly stated that the abrams is difficult to maintain, so it will take a long time to teach the ukrainians to drive it. also, it runs on aviation fuel, what does it do his bad choice for this phase of the war, so according to political scientists, the decision of the white house to transfer the abrams is rather an encouragement for berlin to supply its leopards and a manifestation

of the support of the allies. abrams in ukraine is like a bone in the throat of north korea, pyongyang has been making angry statements on this for the second day, now the director general of us affairs of the ministry of foreign affairs of north korea, kwon chong-gang, called the transfer of tanks an unethical crime aimed at destabilizing the international situation, and he called his arms supplies to russia nonsense in december, the white house announced that north korea had completed the first delivery of anti -personnel missiles to the private military company wagner to support russian forces in ukraine. german chancellor olaf scholz wants to continue direct negotiations with putin, according to the chancellor that the russian president should withdraw troops from ukraine and propose this would be a terrible senseless war. schulz emphasized that although his phone conversations with putin were not harsh, he repeatedly made it clear

to the kremlin leader that the annexation of ukrainian territory is unacceptable, us president joe biden called the parents of the deceased tyra nichols to comfort them, because he himself knows what it is like to lose loved ones. in 1972, he lost his first wife and daughter in a car accident, and in in 2015, he buried his first-born son, bobaiden, who died at the age of 46 from brain cancer, and nicholas died on january 7 in a memphis hospital after being beaten by the police . the published video from the chest cameras of the cops shook the wave of protests. nicholas became the new face of the black movement for racial justice, which caused the murder of george floyd in 2020 at the hands of the police in minernapolis it 's horrible when he started begging mom mom it was so sad i think it was complete

madness whether to charge the officers don't know like the video is very telling but we we don't know what happened behind the scenes, that's why we see an absolutely terrible act. terrible. i don't know who caused the damage. i think maybe everything , but it was hard to watch. in moldova , a bus with ukrainians overturned. the accident happened in the evening in the central part of the country near the village of troitsa. the local police reported in the cabin. there were 21 passengers on the bus connecting chisinau-odesa, mostly our compatriots, fortunately there were no casualties, the preliminary cause of the accident was called by law enforcement officers difficult weather conditions , which caused the bus to go off the road and overturn at this hour, that's all i have to tell you, the next issue will be at 11 a.m. i remind you. you can read more on our website

major general oleksiy almazov join the gathering let's get closer to victory together glory to ukraine i congratulate you dear viewers on the air of the espresso tv channel program studio the event we will analyze the most important events of course it is about the key decision of the event on the allocation of heavy armored vehicles in ukraine this is a story not only about leopard tanks or abrams this is a story about what the event ready to cross a certain security rubicon, i will analyze the situation jamessh, a british political scientist, and mark fagin, an activist of the russian opposition in exile, will now work on our air james sher, senior researcher at the institute of security and defense, british political scientist, slava ukraine p. sher. welcome to the broadcast of the espresso tv channel . the key story is, of course, collective permission and collective agreement to supply us with western tanks.

before that, when it lasted, of course, it is interesting , although there was a backstage discussion, whether to give ukraine tanks or not. what do you think happened before the green tank missile was given? you started with the words glory to ukraine, too glory to the heroes. good day. i hope you are doing well. this is the first time i am giving an interview during a massive missile attack. it is so important to understand why this important decision was taken for so long. i would say that there are three reasons , mainly german, but partly also american. the first is a huge psychological one . the power of the image that has passed through the generations, namely german tanks that fought in the soviet union against those who were considered

russian, of course our viewers understand that to a large extent these german tanks fought against ukrainians and still do not perceive it that way too deeply in my country, for example, there are people who continue to believe that the scots were once the english in europe, unfortunately, there are still many people who believe that ukraine was part of russia until recently, there is a certain psychological barrier and moral stigma here, secondly , there is a terrible fear, especially of the military because the denazification in germany was very thorough and in the end gave rise to fear of all the military. angela merkel said that in the midst of hostilities there is no such thing as a military solution, this is all very convincing and with

related to this is the notion that is also shared by part of the biden administration that all wars end with negotiations, not all wars end in this way, especially when it comes to a war with russia, and the third reason is that in the party of olaf scholz and in other parties there are people who they still cannot let go of the iron curtain, not believing in european security without russia, so all these largely psychological factors had to be overcome, and shame played a major role in this, because not only in ukraine, but in europe and the united states, it became obvious that this indecision causes huge damage to the reputation of germany, so far, in your opinion, are there any prospects for the restoration of the so -called minsk-istanbul negotiation format

, respectively. how do you see the prospects of the backstage negotiation process regarding the negotiation channels that you mentioned ? if the russians have something serious to say, it is unlikely that they will do it through these channels, they will act discreetly through the appropriate people first through european representatives, and then through the americans, the russians use such channels to play their own games, and on their behalf, let's take turkey as an example, it is very important that it is a nato ally, and yet turkey is not a disinterested party in this conflict. it has its own interests that do not coincide

with the interests of russia, turkey wants to preserve an integral and safe ukraine, but despite this, it has its own powerful interests that do not coincide with the national interests of ukraine, as they are interpreted in kyiv and in many other places, so it does not you can have illusions about these forums and these mediators, i must say that ukraine must continue to be the main architect of its own victory , demonstrating to others every day that the greatest danger of escalation arises when the enemy's indecisive front is manifested, and ukraine must continue to convey this opinion to the west every day with our words and actions partners and friends in the west extremely clearly warned putin about the inadmissibility of using nuclear

weapons and the inevitable consequences specifically for putin, on the other hand, we understand that the current trajectory points to various unconventional scenarios, which scenarios should we pay attention to now and what do you think , how can china react in the current situation , because china is also not happy with putin's threats, in particular medvedev's mouth to use nuclear weapons you know the answer and you should ask this question every time he says anything everything he will say about nuclear weapons on monday he will deny it on wednesday lavrov says something else on thursday and in on friday, he will deny it, so we understand that all this communication from russia is designed to confuse the interlocutor and establish where the lines of demarcation are between those who believe in this stupidity and those who do not. as for china,

i must repeat what i said about turkey, china is also not a selfless player, it does not want russia to lose this war because the chinese understand that this will most likely lead to the destabilization of russia itself. china needs russia to be a major power in the global system to help china appease the usa and therefore helped to lead them despite all the reservations and fears that the chinese might have about how the war started and in what way it will be waged in all public discussions and communications they very clearly place all responsibility for the war on nato, this does not change in any of their public statements, the chinese are playing in the same pear tree and the russians, where it is about disinformation of others

and they succeed quite well, what is the value of their statements through some of their channels that it was they who restrained russia from using nuclear weapons now such a statement is very beneficial for both russia and china, it firstly confirms the rumors that russia really intended to use nuclear weapons in this conflict although i am not the only person who does not see any evidence or grounds for this and secondly it is for the benefit of chinese interests in understanding to show the west that we are a mature, intelligent state that understands everything. in a broad perspective, you need good relations with us. if you want to rule russia, it seems that everything should have been clear to a child

, but people continue to perceive all this seriously trusting influential chinese publications, in order to understand a lot of this, you need to understand chinese misfortune. i have colleagues who understand it, so i emphasize that it is necessary to pay much less attention to such public statements james and in general, we understand what putin wants from the world and from ukraine at the present moment yes , in addition to the continuation of the war and the seizure of our territories, and the killing of our civilians. what is happening on a daily basis, a year ago, we remember that putin completely an unprecedented senseless ultimatum, an ultimatum of the west, in particular, the euro-atlantic community, which was rejected for obvious reasons, now there is an understanding of what is happening in the kremlin so that they would like and is there an understanding of what resources they

currently have at their disposal, so far we have seen that general gerasimov, the chief of the russian general staff, has been given back all his powers, and this means that the chief of the general staff is not only a well-known theoretician, so to speak, it is a person who can give orders indirectly, of course, that are appropriate from putin assign them to specific strategic units, but here the question is not only putin's er wishes. so here is the question of their capabilities and resources. i will repeat what i said in 2014. putin is determined to subjugate ukraine or destroy it. i have nothing to add except one more in 2014, the ato made it clear that he wanted a deep transformation of the broader security order in

europe, and in general, when two draft treaties were presented to nato and the usa in december 2021, the reaction of the west was predictable and universal. this is all absurd. we cannot to accept this, the russians knew that this would be the case, in these two documents they openly outlined their ultimate goals , which was to restructure nato in order to completely silence it and deprive it of any bones of heart and spirit, of course they did not believe that at that moment we would decide to accept it or would ready for any discussions, their vision was different, after we destroy ukraine, then you will be ready to talk about it. so, the goals were formulated very clearly, and for russia, this war, as well as victory in

it, is an indispensable prerequisite for change a broad order in europe and to prevent what dmytro trenin called a sensitive blow, that is, a deep and painful blow to the west, how does it all fit together? i don't see any changes here . what about the question you ask about whether the russians have the resources to continue fighting, so far they manage to do it so there are different answers to the question of how far they can go with what they plan and what else they could have and camus while the situation is as it is we must face it no matter what the ultimate questions are before us for example, with regard to crimea, when it comes to the attack and destruction of those entire assets and facilities in crimea that are used to wage war against ukraine, there should be no reservations

. another point is when it comes to those who have doubts about the feasibility of attacking crimea with the aim of reining in the corporation de- the fact is that they are not part of ukraine, the need to eliminate all those threats, assets, objects and weapons systems that are used, perhaps even this morning to fire on ukrainian cities in ukraine, in your opinion how effective will the so-called lublin triangle be ? how effective will great britain be? this so-called maybe small entente should first be understood

, what is being discussed should not be distracted by the details of the architecture of the membership of the circle and all this geometric noise defect the fact is that europe is divided between those countries, and this also applies to the usa, which do not have direct experience and direct knowledge of what it means to be part of the historical zone of influence of russia. they have never been occupied and no matter how loyal and strong their feelings, they understand all this quite abstractly. and there is another part of europe that shares a deep historical experience not only with ukraine but also with russia, intuitively understanding all its harmful influence, and great britain is a very interesting exception because for a whole year between 1940 and 1941 when the blitzkrieg was launched

and there were not just fears but carefully developed plans for a german invasion of the british isles, the united kingdom remained a single soldier in the field without a single ally. echoes and still has its influence, the main point is that if the usa loses its spirit and abandons its current policy, then all of us, not only ukrainians, will be oh, how can it not be easy to return to this donald trump in the white house in 2024, such an event of great importance will turn into a deadly blow and this is one of the reasons why i believe that joseph biden and his administration must understand in the national interest and in their own that we must do everything to end this war to the end next year and president biden

may also repeat to a certain extent the trajectory of the president and wilson, who also did not want to enter a major continental war, so on the european continent, but gradually he was forced to support his friends from great britain and france and the russian empire, he de facto had no choice , and the situation here is such that we understand that everything can lead to one thing after another, and accordingly, in the current situation, we should do the wisest thing for ukraine in particular, it is about what mistakes, in particular, in the international arena, we should not make, and the most significant contribution that ukraine should make is not to lose heart and continue to do what it is doing on the battlefield, in addition, i think that some advisers of ukraine intentions, including military advisers in
