[000:00:00;00] to be of the high council of justice, as well as the new law a on the media, and she said that these are steps in the absolutely right direction , but noted that more should be done, adding that there are no such strict time limits, that is, they are in a hurry to see how to do more in kyiv, stated the head of the european commission the eu should also support ukraine and added that in a few days we should expect the presentation of the 10th package of sanctions. there will be those whom the eu recognizes as russian propagandists, as well as more russian politicians and military personnel. well and you know the message that, in principle, since the beginning of the great war in the european union, in particular, has become traditional. well, it is no less important, considering that almost a year has passed, the european union promises not to leave ukraine alone with russian aggression , and in the future how long it will take it is necessary, but as for weapons, many leaders of countries. i said today that

there are no red lines for them. zhenya. thank you very much, my colleague zoryan stepanenko zoryan. i just want to note here that today this is a joint the photo of the leader of the european union with volodymyr zelensky caused a flurry of memes from the point of view of internet users, everyone paid attention to the rather unhappy facial expression of viktor orban, but i think it was also interesting to draw attention to all of us. thank you very much zoryana stepanenko from brussels and also my colleague yevheniya taganovych is also from brussels, we talked about the consequences of volodymyr zelenskyi's visit to brussels. well, we already briefly touched on it, more precisely my colleagues on the way from london to brussels ukrainian the previous evening, the president made a stop in paris at the elysee palace, he was met by french president manuel macron, who then flew with zelensky to brussels, and german chancellor olafsholz, who specially flew to paris from berlin, they had a joint

press conference at which zelensky thanked france for providing the first light tanks and germany, according to the air defense system , paris and berlin continue to provide assistance to ukraine until victory in the war , the french and german leaders said in unison zelensky responded by calling on them to provide heavy weapons and aircraft as soon as possible. france and germany have the potential to turn the situation around, zelensky said. well, i will repeat myself, so far, at least publicly, ukraine has not received agreement with clearly defined terms for the supply of western aircraft, either from france or from germany, and sometimes the minister of defense of britain and ben volos, who ruled out the possibility of a quick provision of fighter jets for ukraine, emphasized that the delivery of aircraft could potentially take months and that instead of great britain is focused on the use of alternative air defense support for ukraine. we will talk about this a little later, what this means . well, i will remind you that the ukrainian president's journey

began yesterday with his visit to london, where he spoke to british parliamentarians and had an audience with the british king charles iii. and judging by the headlines with which the british press now came out , zelensky's visit to great britain and his request for exterminators is the number one topic . this is his thesis, which he addressed in to the british parliamentarians, give us wings to protect freedom, now appeared in the headlines of absolutely all british publications , according to the guardian. if earlier the prime minister was against london handing over planes to kyiv, now he has ordered the minister of defense to check whether it is possible to understand this request some british publications literally turn zelensky's request for fighter jets to their government now give him wings writes de ilimelli or send him all our planes writes daily express well or here is the british tabloid sun placed on the first column a photo of zelensky pressing on the hand of king charles during their audience in buckingham palace, where they chat and

the headline, thank you for the tea and now give me your jets, well, just kidding , if you're serious, how tangible can help ukraine and from britain and from the states of the european union, that is, after this visit of volodymyr zelenskyi to european cities well, in the end, whether there will be wings or not, we will talk about it now , the head of the center of joint acting vice prime minister of ukraine for european integration in 2005 oleg rybachuk olezhe my greetings i congratulate you glory to the heroes what can you say about this european tour of the ukrainian president how powerful a role it can play in the context of reviewing the event of my arms supply well actually it played, and time is very important here , the most effective use of time, eh , the first visit of president zelenskyi during the war of the second phase of the war to the united states was

very successfully chosen just on the eve of that when the budget and military aid were discussed in the senate and congress, and now is simply the best possible choice of time, because the strategy of the kremlin and putin was that winter and general moroz would play in his favor and that during the winter there would probably be something from ukraine there will be mass demonstrations because high payments for communal services , in a word, it happened, this is a regularity that over time , attention dulls a little, but what you showed in your story shows that zelenskyi's visit brought the attention back as much as possible to ukraine, not only politicians, but some zelenskys meet, and most importantly, citizens of the uk, germany, france, from this world, in fact , because this news is now very strong, and the strong

support of ukraine by citizens and voters is the most reliable foundation for that so that it would be possible to continue working with politicians well, once again, every visit of zelenskyi has a purpose, and this purpose was also heard in your state . we are the next rammstein and the next sanctions against russia will increase the pressure and that the unity of the democratic world has not weakened, what putin was counting on, that there will be disturbances, that there will be people or contradictions, and that he will succeed to break this democratic union zelensky actually made this task impossible for putin in the winter. allow me

to focus on small britain, because the same british press finanshall time today wrote about the fact that great britain is said to be the vanguard of countries that they are helping ukraine, but the reality is that part of this aid is real and part is only symbolic. and as an example of such symbolic aid, the publication names 14 challenger tanks in particular, this is not enough. and this is simply to encourage other countries, and experts obviously assume that the same can happen with fighter jets. do you agree with such a statement of facts, it is correctly selected here, do not encourage here to be the first and go to another level is very important and this has been noted by many experts who will be the first to go to another level who will be the first to give the first tanks who will be the first to give the first planes and because the first is always followed by others and

the british are not the first to become the first, sorry for the tautology of the words, they just break through, they bring the level of support to ukraine to a new level and how much their hands are free, they are much they make decisions faster because they , er, are not members of the european union, they actually take the lead in this process. very often they are not even americans , but the british, in particular, pushed the alliance to the next step, and the function is extremely it is important for them and extremely useful, that's why it's not the number that matters, it's the precedent that matters, because when such decisions are made, the world is watching that in fact nothing terrible is happening, no , nothing is moving, no escalation

is going anywhere, russia is silent. smokes so then explain to me and why uh why why can't olaf scholz or emmanuel macron be the first what prevents them from being the first this is running or what is bothering you know like ukrainian songs you don't ask why i have tears in my eyes look at this one sun and you will understand why he has teary eyes because in fact germany now has to be said very seriously germany has just incredibly increased the amount of its aid, but these leadership eyes are not afraid to be the first, but by the way, solt barely reproached his e- to the allies , what kind of competition is going on, who will do more for ukraine? well, as a ukrainian, i am drowning in this competition, because it is necessary for politicians to push each other, not hold back, and that is why macron

by the way, he used it very successfully because macron took off his hat when he announced the transfer of the so-called wheeled tanks to ukraine, but forget the word wheeled, the word tanks appeared and the tanks went to ukraine, and then after the wheeled ones, tracked ones also appeared, that's why i'm a talent in politics it's not the brother's fear of his own leadership and it's not a fear of annoying the creed or looking back at some allies, that's what britain's advantage is right now, well, britain, historically , remember the second world war in the days before the only politician who became is full height against hitler it was exactly the british wind, it was a draft i understand that macron also decided to demonstrate leadership in such a way to intercept zelenskyi on the way from london to brussels for a couple of hours in the elysée palace because today my

colleagues who worked in brussels they conveyed the sentiments of the politicians there and they say some european leaders were indignant. what kind of unprofessional game is this? why did they say what kind of audience was zelenskyi in paris? well, really . well, france again, france has always had its special place, its special role in nato and the european union, and that's why macron , let's remember, macron was the first european leader who met with zelensky even before zelensky won the presidential election, and it's interesting what's going on here eh, as they say in galicia, who is playing whom here , in this case, i have the feeling that zelensky is quite skillfully playing on these ambitions of macron and pushing macron to certain steps that lead macron to the point of transferring him from the mode

of calling putin to the mode of and who else it will do for ukraine and here the sun simply had no choice. well, there in brussels they were still nervous about why zelensky started his visit from london. but again, as ukrainians, i understood that in fact the unique role of london is that london often spoke to leaders and brought out ukraine to a new level of help from the west. therefore, everything is very logical. tell me, let's return for a moment to this british press, which we showed at the beginning, and to what extent it is such a tool of influence and pressure . if you want to influence politicians, when the press unison is making headlines and give it wings, tremendous pressure and let's admit that we have touched a little bit on european integration, let's admit that our president and our diplomats are now at the forefront of this process , the cabinet is seriously lagging behind, they are lost somewhere

parliamentarians in general, but the greatest pressure is exerted precisely on the foreign front. but in order to force european politicians, and there many of them hesitated, many hesitated until the last moment, is it worth it or not provide us to write from the candidate , some of them stubbornly talked about the fact that ukraine will not be able to cope and the challenges we face are enormous, but when such visits are made, when you are a politician , you win the sympathy of the citizens, and in this case, the press is very important. zelensky , we simply work phenomenally with the press. he somehow loosened up , i don't know how to say it, he just really stopped worrying about some things, because for sure at some point they wanted to mold him as how often does it

happen, well, a typical statesman, but he acts very natural, harmoniously uses the language, even the form of clothing and communication with the press, that's it, in principle, he is now such a trend setter, a lot of european uh , politicians are quite inspired by him, do you remember macron, who before the presidential elections, just frankly resembled him in terms of clothes, even in during the course of president zelenskyi, therefore, such, such, such admiration, such a positive reaction of the british press, and british journalists, they are in piranha, they simply tear apart politicians at times, this is a huge merit of zelen zelenskyi and and and and and and and of our and our diplomats and in general, what is happening now is actually a competition not just who will help ukraine more, but who will be the first to meet, who will be able to demonstrate personal success there, and we see that britain, despite the fact that there have been

a series of government crises, personal premiers, in fact, nothing they do not change, britain remains a very reliable ally of zelensky, the issue is not in the european court , so we see a certain competition of the european union there, the european parliament, the council of europe and britain, it is as simple as that it feels a little bit and again for ukraine it's just a fantastic thing mini-weapons for fear of escalation, do you understand what red line the west once defined for itself and tanks were a red line, we provide tanks because we are afraid of escalation, do you see where this red line is going now this red line, if it exists, passes for moscow when moscow can really go for some kind of escalation, er, moscow has already blown this moment

, and because er, remember this speech by putin, who waved his finger and said, god forbid, someone there will try to intervene in this process, so they say that there is such an answer from us that the world has not seen and then it began god forbid they will go there javelins have gone javelins god forbid they will go heavy weapons are gone heavy weapons god forbid the tanks are gone tanks are gone god forbid they will go and such it is no longer important and a completely hopeless attempt to rattle nuclear weapons, that is, for me, a clear understanding that e for moscow would be a red line, preferably anything that stops e what stops

ukraine's desire or determination to fight to end and, accordingly, for moscow, it would be very desirable for the european union to disintegrate and for there to be no such alliance, and the euro-atlantic alliance can be very briefly mentioned that most likely it will be a visit by baidan somewhere at the end of february to warsaw, and we can with great probability predict a meeting for zelenskyi with biden, that is, for that, for moscow , everything that is happening simply washes away the red line, er, there is no such force that could resist such unity er, of the democratic world, putin absolutely did not count on this ukraine does not make big mistakes, i repeat again, our diplomats, the president, work as effectively as possible, public opinion on the side of ukraine, public opinion in the united states, public opinion in the european union , and therefore, in principle, this is a guarantee that european politicians will be with us, thank you very much for your comment oleg rybachuk head of the center for joint actions, vice prime minister of ukraine for european integration 2005 thank

you good luck well, against the background of the european tour president, the russian troops resumed initiative in ukraine and began another major offensive in the luhansk region, the american institute for the study of war writes about this in its current report, analysts emphasize that the involvement of significant parts of at least three large russian divisions in offensive operations along the svatovye line indicates that the russian offensive has begun even if the ukrainian military so far prevent the russian forces from achieving significant success. well, according to british intelligence, in the last days until - in the last days , fierce battles are taking place near soledar and flint where russian troops have strengthened their own defense with airborne troops what is the situation at the front uh now how can it unfold in the coming weeks and how will the front be affected by the fact that ukraine has not yet received the promised western tanks

let's talk about it now the air is joined by the expert center for the study of the army conversion disarmament mykhailo samus my congratulations i congratulate you mykhailo how powerful can this offensive be which was announced by intelligence and the media with reference to intelligence well and judging by it started in luhansk oblast with a message , again what the media promised us is basically hype on the headlines, let's immediately recall the formpolisi article that was published today and the ofigenshul times article that was published two days ago, the same sources the adviser of the ukrainian military leadership stated that in 10 days there will be an offensive and fanation also had 10 days on the sixth and the police forint also published 10 days today , we will see who is wrong, but in fact , inside the articles, it is said about

donbas and not about some large-scale offensive with which they are trying to scare us again, including the russians, of course, doing their part , pointing out that they and belarus are now going to attack those and you, kharkiv , zaporizhzhia, and everything together. in fact, everything what russia can do now is to really try to occupy the donbass, occupy the donetsk luhansk region, so that putin has something to tell his slaves when speaking to the fed when addressing the federal assembly , but now what we are seeing is that the russians are actually trying to break through several for months they have been trying to break through the defense of the ukrainian armed forces in the bakhmut direction, they have been active several times in the ughledar direction, they have been hit in the teeth, now they have retreated with losses and uh, from the third direction, this is a criminal estuary. that is, if we look at the map, this is again a repetition of the plan that they tried to implement

that in april, may, uh, june of last year , uh, that is, to reach the ukrainian group on our side, to try to sharpen it with an exit to slavyansk, kramatorsk, and in this way to declare about the occupation of the donetsk luhansk regions. i am sure that not until the end of february, and even more so in the future. it will not be possible , despite the fact that ukraine has not yet received, preferably tanks, well, we could not get tanks a few days after the germans made a decision. that is, it is absolutely we are talking about the fact that general zaluzhnyi wrote an article in december , or in an interview he said that he needs 300 tanks to implement an offensive operation , now an offensive operation by the armed forces of ukraine is not being conducted, we are talking about defense and defense is currently carried out by the forces and means at the disposal of the armed forces of ukraine, in addition, we expect

that in the near future we will receive long-range high-precision missiles that can be used from the same hymars, and this can significantly change both the offensive efforts of the russians and the preparation ukrainian troops to their offensive operation ah mykhailo well , now about the planes i want to ask you this is what everyone is talking about right now on the initiative of volodymyr zelenskyi and his european tour well, ben wallace, the minister of defense of britain, said that the delivery of aircraft may take several months. he says that in the meantime , great britain will focus on providing ukraine with air defense equipment, so that the support of ukrainian ground troops from the air can also be provided by missiles and drones, and that he said it would be more productive to provide ukraine with airplanes in the long term, saying, well , how is such a guarantee of security already after

the end of the war with russia, from your point of view in terms of view, this is such a delicate rejection of fighters. is this really a better decision from a tactical point of view? well, first of all, great britain has started or is already starting to train our pilots , that is, we cannot refuse to start training pilots at the same time, since it is obvious that the decision was made to transfer fighters to us, and that is why you were refused this is, of course , a real approach. if we take the issue of pilot training, technical personnel training, military infrastructure training, and so on, then of course it turns out not a few days, not a few weeks, but a few months , and that is why the minister of defense of great britain calls the real deadline e that we can, for example , get these planes in 4-5-6 months, and during these 4-5-6 months when ukraine should already conduct its offensive operations , it is really better

to provide ukraine with long-range missiles, for example, which will be able to destroy the russians at 150 and 300 km and somehow replace e-e aircraft from the point of view of gaining dominance in the air although if we talk about the deoccupation of crimea, i think that the presence of multi-functional aircraft as eurofighter typhoon would help us a lot to establish dominance in the air and destroy any military infrastructure on the territory of the occupied crimea , and you do not agree, i understand, with this thesis , which was also recently heard by the british prime minister that british planes are not very practical for the situation in ukraine , they are practical they are suitable the fact is that these are not british planes, they are european planes , the eurofighter typhoon they were created by the countries of the european union, it is a collective joint

project, it is precisely european multifunctional fighter e-e is designed exclusively and specially focused to win air supremacy. it is called the plane l supremasi. that is, it is not that it is an impractical plane, it is one of the best planes in the world if we talk like in 16 e eurofighter rafale is e-e top in general of the world's planes, so i don't know what impractical means, to be honest, well, i didn't understand either, so i asked you and i have one question about the connection to the soup, the technical internet service starling from spacex, which was provided to the ukrainian military communication for defense today stated that the service was allegedly never intended for use as a weapon for war use so that they are only for peacetime and so we asked how much the shutdown of the stalinists could complicate the work of the armed forces of ukraine. i suggest you listen to this answer and then i have another question for you, if you take the characteristics of any drone, it consists of two parts, this is the control panel

and the drone itself, the communication between them takes place in independence, is there an internet or there is no internet, they have their own connection, their own channels , which they use. this depends on its flight range, the quality of the video that it transmits control, and so on. in ilona mask's company, it is possible to see the protocol that is transmitted through this satellite internet, that is, they see what is transmitted or streaming video or streaming information of some software and thus they can on a technical level block just this transmission and thereby remove certain functions of the combat functions of our units on the battlefield this consists in the prompt transfer of information that is possible critical

in one or another period of time, if we take into account the communication via satellite, that is, this steel worker . it is more protected. then the military will need to use regular communication or gsm or other mechanisms that are easily intercepted and will already put the military themselves at risk, who can either declassify their coordinates or to declassify this or that certain information regarding the movement of the retreat attack and so on. that is, there are big risks in this and therefore, uh, you should not turn off such communication channels that are safe for the transmission of information, especially if elon musk said that it is used as a weapon no, it is used as security for the soldiers themselves on the battlefield. that is, it is

a secure mechanism for data transmission. i would like to note here that messages have just appeared. mykhailo fedorov, the minister of digital information, said that so far there are problems with there are no starlinks, but mykhailo, if spacex really turns off starlinks, well, this can happen or limit their work. excuse me, there are some risks in this, look, i really also looked at the original statements that were published, which were treated in our country and , again, overclocked, it seems to me, again , a little bit of hype that everything is the end of sterling and so on. it seems to me that the journalists did not quite understand the statements that were made and the interpretation of this is absolutely incomprehensible to me that shooting is used as a weapon in the offensive and so more well, here it is necessary for either the functions of spacex to understand what they mean by their statements or the journalists have understood that way, that is , in this matter, it really seems to me that it is far

from the fact that we have already been diagnosed, or at all, stalin is already connected, indeed, if the page is connected then there will be risks, we use the term very widely, but i would like to emphasize that closed military communication is used through other channels, and that is, of course, it is easier for the pages, but on the other hand, we do not there can be a tie-in exclusively on e. here are such e-channels as shooting in the armed forces of ukraine , they must be ready to use, of course , e-e, their e-e closed communication, namely military communication, which is based on military technologies, therefore, of course , there will be risks there will be inconveniences. well, it’s one thing when you have constant internet and you can really use it to transfer large amounts of information. this has already become such a norm - a normal situation. it’s normal, as they say, for the ukrainian armed forces, and suddenly it’s

the internet, so the internet will be turned off. of course it is it is inconvenient and it will be necessary to adapt to new conditions, but i still think that spacex will continue to supply the internet, and on the other hand, if they do it, it will be a big anti-advertisement for the mask itself, because it is one thing to say something and another thing really to threaten the ukrainian military in general, ukraine is still on the side of good, and musk will support putin in this way . again , you cannot be neutral here. darkness from the trenches thanks to the stalinists, thank you very much mykhailo, as a sports center for the study of the army, the conversion of disarmament, was on radio svoboda well, at the very end, i traditionally encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on social networks in instagram, telegram, facebook, twitter, viber, and also two channels on youtube, radio freedom and
