[000:00:00;00] with brigadier general maksym samielenko at the secret airbase where it is faith mount athos bless the content of our soldiers a great breakthrough of the ukrainian church in the midst of world orthodoxy and the predictions of the athos monks how will the war in ukraine end let's start with the process that is being monitored not only in ukraine for the second week but also our allies around the world, and this is not a war, but a blow to the internal enemy, as the government calls it, a wave of searches , arrests, service of suspicions and resignations of ukrainian officials who were exposed in corruption scandals from us here, the security forces customs officials, tax officials of the ministry of defense, people's deputies and businessmen were caught. and this is not the end, says tsn correspondent ihor bondarenko, because they have already promised an extension next week, so that the detained in the order of the article, the investigators of the dbr are detaining those involved in

the high-profile case about food for the military , what can you build in this case of the same on the day the investigator handed over suspicion to the deputy of the ministry of defense, who was responsible for rear support, vyacheslav shapovalov had just resigned after the start of the corruption scandal with inflated prices together with him they fired and handed the suspicion to the director of the department of procurement, bohdan khmelnytskyi, that there are still potatoes for 22 potatoes, journalist yuriy nikolov, and he found soldavské food, golden eggs. this means that out of 13 billion, it threatens to steal 0.5 billion , at least according to the journalist. and now there is also the investigation of the siloviza at the farm. the ministry of defense, instead of knocking down the price on wholesale lots, managed

to sign contracts with entrepreneurs whose the products are more expensive than the store in the capital, fortunately, the contract has not yet begun to operate, it was stopped, but the cynicism of the workers has shaken the whole country, today is a pale day for our country, a fruitful opposition to those who, even now , tried to weaken ukraine , we will not allow anyone to weaken our state. thank you to all law enforcement officers who today demonstrated the power of the right-wing state the beginning of february began with dozens of searches, detentions, checks and the handing over of suspicions to the national police of the sbu , the prosecutor general's office announced the christ's campaign of corruption and publicly began to visit the top even old cases were brought up by officials and sportsmen. how did kolomoisky embezzle oil from the games and , most importantly, officials in addition to the ministry of defense, law enforcement officers visited the customs officers, tax officials, representatives of the defense industry, the anti-corruption drive did not pass by the deputy and developer vadym stola in the case of the recovery of the money of the former minister of internal affairs arsen avakov

in the case of the french helicopters, there was a lot to see in the management of the tax service of kyiv, oksana datii, how much money is there , and they are suspected of fraud with refunds according to the materials of the case, billions of hryvnias were withdrawn from the vat of the enterprise into the shadows. part of the excess profits were apparently received by the suspect, apartments, cars, houses and ever-increasing desires on scraps of paper are now being investigated by investigators. question - this is a real scourge of the struggle western partners who influence billions of dollars in aid for the war with russia and social programs carefully they monitor the intended use of their money, anti-corruption bodies work effectively, corruption cases are investigated. i also see that the political reaction to this is a very

sharp fight against corruption should bear fruit so that it will only intensify, and ukrainians are also waiting for the spring landings of those who managed to steal, even now the request for justice is it's not that he hasn't gone anywhere, he 's gotten stronger in the last few months. and by the way , the authorities noticed very well that the desk of the director of the state bureau of investigation is covered with documents and folders the category of officials has lost self-control, those who have lost self-control now appear in dozens of cases, inflated prices , low-quality food, thin body armor, facts of abuse, the db has been investigating since last fall , explains kermanych of the investigative department of deville, a month was documented, unfortunately, and the military and businessmen who signed acts of supply to be in the nutrition of the military unit, the current active attack on corruption is a signal to officials that the ukrainian security forces are fighting not only with the russian occupiers

, the next week will be no less bright announces oleksiy sukhachev and agrees journalistic investigations come in handy i personally watch 10-15 kg of channels every day and in the evening in the morning in order to pay attention to what worries society, i analyze what we already have in the works and we use this information e in order to investigate faster or document the former deputy minister of defense vyacheslav shapovalov, currently in custody , may be released on bail of 400 million uah, the rest of the detainees this week choose precautionary measures due to the anti-corruption fervor in ukraine are being watched not only in the west, russia is actively monitoring our successes and failures because it is directly interested in the weakening of the ukrainian economy and the increase in the number of people dissatisfied with the authorities inside the country, and therefore our tasks are complicated, on the one hand, not to pose as a hybrid moscow strategist, on the other hand

, to understand that this is only the first reconnaissance by combat in war with corruption, we turned the history of corruption in ukraine into a history of fighting corruption, a war such that we have not yet won the occupiers, so we will learn from the corrupt be the same how our armed forces beats the enemies beats the internal enemies in ukraine will help the return of the publication of the procurement system prozoro and the obligations of the officials it is possible for the rulers to declare their income again even during the war every hryvnia saved from the corrupt will bring our victory closer ihor bondarenko andriy the liar tsn week 1+ 1 marathon single news great discussion of this scandalous topic right after our issue at 9:00 p.m. notaries mosiychuk and maksym sukhenko invited very frank guests well, to to analyze the key military secrets and intrigues of the week, we set up our improvised situation room. where my colleague, one of the most authoritative military correspondents of the country, andriy saplienko, promises

to reveal some of these secrets from his own sources, and we decided to start the conversation about the last seven days with a video that surprised me. video of the 406 brigade taken from a drone, watch this installation, ours covered it once, the rashists are trying to extinguish it, and ours are hitting it a second time, we seem to be used to such a video, but this time it is very symbolic, because now you see the destruction of the russian anti-aircraft missile complex tor-m2, which attracted attention from the arctic, hello andryush, i congratulate you on an interesting video , then tell me what all this means, this video talks about the symptoms. imagine a technique that was not created for ukrainian conditions

was created for extreme artistic conditions , it is being driven here, it costs an insane 25 million dollars. this is more than the aircraft of such anti-aircraft missile systems in russia. first of all, they are really driving here, collecting everything they have from all over russia, they are driving here, they are probably preparing for something , and the second point is propaganda psychological, you understand, that is , they themselves no longer believe in this delusional, stupid propaganda, as if someone is going to attack russia because they are simply exposing the northern regions turn out that nobody needs this cursed land, and they need a foreign land , that’s why i brought this equipment here, that is, if we talk about a possible offensive that is imminent in ukraine, an offensive is possible because they really all their strategic reserves are collected here, they concentrate here all the best that they don’t have, but still, we have something and here, notice this complex, e.e. tor, created for

arctic conditions, was impressed by the glorious 406th artillery brigade of the naval forces of ukraine, what did it impress it hit by the way, this is the same brigade that sank the cruiser moscow, the gunners hit this complex with a high-precision m 982 s-calibur projectile from the first shot, in fact. if you compare it to football, it's all the same as hitting the goal from a distance of five football fields, and we we are doing it and we have it nice, i will tell you anyway about the possible russian offensive that it will be in the next two or three weeks, and from two or three directions, tell me if you noticed signs of preparation for this great offensive at the front, well, in order to understand what what the front represents, now we need to look at how it has shrunk. look at this map , the territories that were occupied

by russia are marked in blue. at the beginning of the war, february, march, in a year, we have shortened the front line by more than half. now it looks like this. less hot on the targets of the front are bakhmut and vugledar this week just the most. probably what was said about bakhmut is this city that the russians have been attacking without success and since the end of summer it seems that it has really become a fortress city. by the way, the commander from the estonian defense forces center, marga grosberg i said, i am quoting verbatim now, that the ukrainians will probably leave this city in the near future, but here is the answer of president zelenskyi , no one will surrender bakhmut, we will fight as long as we can, you have direct contact with the defenders of bakhmut, what

they say that they are calm about this, what they told me, we will listen to it a little later, i would just like to note that this speech is their attempt to cut the bakhmut kostyantynivka highway, cut our communications through a pincer, now they actually control the south of the city, uh, the east and the north and to things on this map too . i think you can see how they are cutting off our communications. the battles are now basically taking place in urban areas. yes, i know that the wagnerites imposed melee combat on our fighters. if before it was short contact battles distances with a large number of infantry, now they are working with artillery, they are working with rocket salvo fire systems, mortars, and only then, uh, their infantry starts to work , they are obviously cutting off communications, the connection of our group with the big land, obviously they are repeating the scenario that they

arranged in north donetsk, they want the change is absolutely because earlier, if the wagnerites were captured, now regular military personnel are already appearing, this indicates that they are really pulling more seriously, i understand you talked about this with a representative of the main intelligence agency of ukraine, he told me that there is allegedly a documentary order of putin to go to the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions well, in the near future, this order will exist and what it looks like and what are the terms and deadlines. i would like us to listen to the representative of our military intelligence, a personal naka

from the visitor to occupy it already from putin in well, so putin set a deadline for his orcs to go to the borders of the donetsk luhansk region by at the end of march of this year well, actually, what do our frontline soldiers say, they will be able to withstand this blow in the bahmut, now they are holding the defense, well, in fact, all our defenders, all our military, everyone who wears a military uniform , this is the national guard, this is the armed forces , in fact, the border guards and we contacted one of the commanders of the border guards, one of the defense commanders, bakhmut, and just listen to how measured and calm he assesses the situation, this is very important, let's listen together with our viewers in the direction of the situation, the picture is quite complex, he focused large forces in our direction do not stop him, even large

losses of the enemy’s actions show that he is trying to break through our defenses at any cost, here we record the so-called units of the wagner army, the tactics of which have changed quite a bit, just before the assault , artillery training is carried out, after which the assault groups 5- 8 people, the enemy is trying to capture our positions , frankly, the situation is quite difficult, but we are holding on with all our strength, we are praying for our defenders, they are incredible, they are human, but why are ours so stubbornly holding on to bakhmut, too bakh bakhmut is now simply the key to the whole of donbas. if you look at the map, you can see that if they capture bakhmut, they will be able to reach druzhkovka, kostiantynivka, and another double urban agglomeration, kramatorsk, sloviansk . therefore, now and then, they repeat this scenario of north donets in bakhmut, cutting off all communications so what about the coal miner girkin once complained that they couldn't

take him because the ukrainians were sitting in high-rise buildings . there will be no way to get carried away, look, you turned it into a fortress. in fact, this city is a fortress, but here nature itself , the ukrainian land itself helps us, the relief of this land, because vugledar is on a commanding height, and russia is not forced to storm it from below. and this is such a losing position in advance the 72nd brigade is defending here, the glorious one, which has already redrawn the russian troops who are now storming, but after all, this is a brigade which, well, they actually don’t get out of the trenches for a year, and this and that are transmitted , total shelling is a serious danger you know, i think we weren't brave. our fighters also need good weapons, but this week a quote from joe biden suddenly appeared when asked if they would let ukraine read

, we need fighter jets so much, the answer was no , here it is, let's listen to it. 16 no to ukraine. no, but our entire recent history proves that what is said today does not mean what is said tomorrow, and i can give you a fresh example right now . we will not give you any weapons can shoot further than 70 km and here in this fresh package of american military aid we see a very interesting such a line very interesting position i will now try to translate it into ukrainian it is a small -diameter ground-launched bomb the abbreviations we now see this is how it looks the abbreviation

it it will actually become a victorious weapon to what extent it is a new weapon for people, the newest weapon, it shoots at 150 km and it is like that, you know it. a combination of b and rockets and this bomb, the rocket takes off, can fly 150 km and can change its course in flight. it can enter the target style and with these weapons we will now be able to. well, if we give it to him, when we get it, we will be able to hit targets , for example, military targets on the territory of the occupied crimea. when we can have such a beautiful long-range weapon, we are in the red because the americans do not give us ready-made weapons, they invest money in the production of these weapons, there is only when it was

will be made by companies, manufacturers, we will receive it, and this is the time, and the time in this case is such a negative moment, but there is another example a year ago. bradleys are going by train to the port of charleston to be loaded onto the ship we will receive 50 pieces now and a little later another 59 that is a total of 109 bradleys and it will be soon so well and here we recreated this model here uh here uh now here it is this armored car because i i understand we need such barna equipment right now. in addition to tanks and airplanes, how useful can it be. this particular bradley at the current stage of the fighting, look, i see that bradley is not new here - this is not a new model, not the model that ukraine will receive. we will get a little, well, more modern yes

so that the enemy does not know which one, but er, it means that this model has a characteristic detail that makes it necessary right now, we need it in order to stop tank breakthroughs in a maneuver on bradley. this red part on the part is actually not red, it is a paired anti-tank rocket launcher tw, this makes this bmp just a tank killer , but how does it work in battle? i would like you to watch the video now . well, our viewers call the lord's m2 bradley a light tank and a tank killer, and the first and second really have a powerful engine of 600 horsepower and a well-thought-out chassis allow the crew of the machine to work with tank units and ep abrams, and the anti-tank missile system mounted on the bmp does not give the enemy a chance to effectively use its tanks, each

bmp has seven missiles, two for launch and five for the ammunition of the bradley pmp is literally packed with weapons and electronics, the 25 mm gun has a reserve of 900 shells, the body and turret of the bradley are welded from aluminum alloy sheets with the content of rare earth metals, and on top of the sides, as a sandwich, additional armor plates up to 5 cm long are enough furniture and modifications, judging by photos released by the united states ministry of defense to kyiv, instead of the promised m2a2 , a version with an electronic optical camera in the front part of the body will arrive thanks to this camera

the mechanic, the driver, bradley feels safer during the battle than the soviet infantry fighting unit, he is forced to drive the car while turning his head over the hatch, they came to us even before a possible russian offensive, you understand, now not only friends but also enemies are looking at us, and therefore i just don’t want to say a lot of details but i would like to say one thing for the enemies if they come here and when they come here there will be a lot of unpleasant surprises waiting for them here for which they simply will not be ready i believe it well and to briefly summarize the current situation if to summarize situation, we take three positions: first - bakhmut, the enemy is trying to cut off communication, repeat the north donetsk scenario and enter the administrative borders of the donetsk and luhansk regions, secondly , the russians are preparing for larger-scale military operations and are bringing all strategic equipment here from russia, well, in particular from the arctic, the third moment we

we are also preparing for this, we will receive modern armored vehicles and we are preparing to receive modern missile equipment, this is the summary well, all this gives hope and strength to fight further together with the assault brigades that are currently recruiting good luck to our defenders andrii thank you well and we are moving on thank you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes and sentinel on the air of the national marathon and further about another big exchange of 116 prisoners of war in mariupol, kherson partisans , snipers from the bakhmut direction , border guards, national guardsmen , policemen, and employees of the state emergency service, andriy yarmak, the head of the president's office, said, however

, in what conditions the prisoners were eloquently the reaction of the discharged soldier of the armed forces of ukraine maksym kolesnikov, a former restaurateur, a journalist from donetsk, he was surprised by the apple and was afraid to taste it, and the fresh fruit was even terribly tasty. it was possible to return the bodies of the dead foreign volunteers christor perry and andrew backshow, as well as the body of the dead woman to the volunteer yevhen kulik , a ukrainian who served in the french foreign legion and after the start of a full-scale russian invasion returned to defend the motherland , meanwhile, the russians say that the exchange took place thanks to mediation of the leadership of the united arab emirates and 63 people were returned to the occupiers. well, while some diplomats were extracting our people from russia , another delegation arrived in kyiv, unique for the european union, so that

16 of its commissioners, including the presidency of the european commission, came to the war -torn country. if we add here the threat from russian missile carriers and the wailing of sirens in kyiv, it becomes clear why the words and statements made this time in the capital of ukraine had a special weight and especially a perspective for each of of ukrainians, what is she correspondents arsen tzhynya andriy orlyak will tell and we in the european union also made a very clear decision that your future belongs to us , it will be shared with us words are important, but how to understand that this week they mean something more than yesterday or the day before yesterday and we are working to fix this de jure, perhaps the real difference between yesterday and today is the readiness of the top management of the european union to reject risks

and work personally in kyiv under the sound of air sirens, bombers of russia were also raised on thursday , the day of the arrival of the european union commission, and on friday, the day itself. laws and abandon the obligations assumed, but the most important is the reform of the constitutional court of ukraine and the reform of the judicial system . of course , ukraine itself is primarily interested in the fulfillment of these tasks, in simple words, to

work here in a humane way and for the people and not on the contrary, following the reform of the judges, the fight against corruption goes hand in hand, as if improving the work of anti -corruption bodies and dealing with bribe-takers is also a task with an asterisk, and it is interesting that the european tops, as they directly said, have already seen very good progress in the implementation of this task, not actually a large-scale anti-corruption counteroffensive on all fronts, the whole country saw right this week , there can be a lot of reasons for this, from the elementary because it is long overdue to the fact that with the trigger for loud searches, there will be a scandal all around the purchase of golden eggs by officials of the ministry of defense, especially for the program, shortly before the visit of the respected leaders of the european union, in the end, not the same europe, recently another landing of american auditors conducted in ukraine

a reconciliation of the weapons provided by the states, fortunately for us, the conclusion is comforting, obviously, as a reinforcement for the good results, the overseas inspection announced another pile of money for the next batch of weapons in ukraine, and this is said to be more than 2 billion dollars of air defense equipment and super-important long -range missiles. by the way, while the eu leader was in former british prime minister boris johnson was in kyiv in washington, in principle with a similar goal: more help to kyiv already and immediately well, let's return to our homework from the european union, which is also interpreted as that already and immediately, after the already mentioned tasks , there is still the fight against money laundering to implement the anti-oligarchic law to harmonize the audiovisual legislation and finally

to change the legislation on national minorities, i will not dwell on each of these points, because in fact we can talk about each of them for a long time and interestingly, i will say that experts have a lot and questions or comments, both large and small, that is, in general, the european union is our home, they are waiting for us there, but here it is, but for ukraine , it has always been cleared by a set of requirements, precisely in kyiv this week, he clearly defined how ukraine copes with each of the seven tasks, and now there is every chance, says the president zelenskyi that the european integration negotiations will be held right this year in 2023, at least control work on the seven tasks of the wds brussels will receive already this spring than others a rehearsal of how ukraine will work when it becomes a member of the eu too

took place. i am talking about the joint and still unprecedented meeting of the ukrainian cabinet and the european commission, and it is not just about politics. and about the wallet, first of all , this is the tenth package of sanctions. walls, the economic market, export, import between ukraine and the club of european states, we already have a bunch of canceled tariffs from the eu, and de jure this thing is temporary, but permanent, it looks like it may become free roaming from europe, a kind of visa-free digital, ukrainians will be able to talk to close ones in the european union at the tariffs of the european free roaming zone without subscriptions, international experts believe that while the war is on, ukraine's official membership in the eu remains a very ambiguous thing, and these three

presidents probably understand this very well. it is important that the victory of ukraine becomes a real common cause of europe, we have a common goal to put an end to this war or for the purpose of respect for the sovereignty of the integrity of ukraine, and that is why the initiative of ukraine regarding the peace formula is important, we will work together with you on the implementation and while this the landing of the top managers of the european union was just leaving kyiv, the world was already waiting for the next landing of the allies, specifically the us president joe biden, although in neighboring poland , according to journalists, the us leader plans to visit the republic of poland this month, and it is possible that his visit is about ukraine and for ukraine andriy orlyak tsn week 1+1
