[000:00:00;00] i speak for myself and he spoke to him were beautiful, how can we eat, notice, in general, they believe that the meaning of a statesman is not at all in the speeches that he pronounces from himself or on a piece of paper, oratory was of great importance in ancient rome. but in our country, qualifications are important well, it is absolutely obvious that the president of the country must be clearly aware of the country's foreign policy and defense priorities, this is already a constitutional obligation, well, this is a question that should be decided by the voters, not you and me, here we are also voters, but this is a question it is for the majority that the majority has to decide whether a certain person copes or does not cope with his opinion. this is how the world

looks. well, i don't think so. by the way, this is a bad contact. everyone can influence the way he knows how to influence political reality, but i stand on completely different positions. i believe that any what kind of society does it have well, how can you say go drink i always have before my eyes the image of harry potter dumbledore who hits this cup does not drink society must really be aware of the consequences of one or another of its actions and i am not talking about war because war is extreme the situation in the end, the president of ukraine definitely did not start the war, the president of russia started it, but in any case, the society should vote, there should be more, and then this majority should meet and with the results of their actions, go through these results, be able to draw conclusions, this is how democracy is created. things on the path of these democracies according to their creation may be wars civil

war in the united states we understood the responsibility i can not tell you what our path will be and that we will be on your path such like in korea or what, because i don’t think it’s so because we now have a chance not to destroy everything to zero, but let’s look at everything , i don’t see such disappointing prospects for us so far. then we have well, how to zero in the southern country everything was destroyed from scratch, there was not much there, there was an agrarian state, and then they became, as if it were real, because it was destroyed , because they simply began to develop, but this is the national idea of ​​ukrainians, our nation has not changed for hundreds of years, and i have such

questions, in your opinion, what are the levers or which factors are finally able to change because for now even the leading and the most terrible thing is the war, but the national idea for the time being preserves about this strike permanent within ukraine and unification only to oppose the external enemy that this remains the so -called frontline states always exist in conditions of competition identity at the beginning of a child's existence, we are not the first and not the last in this form, we have always had a competition of identities. i would say the polar opposite of the identity of people who considered themselves a classic european national identity what do you want from people who considered ukraine to be simply a part of the russian world? it is not at all clear why it is needed and between these two polar

identities , there have always been two. you have to answer this question. of this question. and the happiness of people who had this classic european ukrainian identity was a lot, and already at the beginning of our independence there were about 15%, i think, to belarusian politicians who are now in in kyiv, and he has not been in belarus for a long time, but he, too, in belarus represented this classic belarusian european national identity, he was simply in the absolute minority, and i don’t even know how many such people there were, and there were simply very few. and for people who believed that belarus was part of there were very few of them in the russian world. but there were those who thought that there was nothing to talk about here. they were almost all of them. this was the electorate of oleksandr lukashenko. the results

are catastrophic. we did not have this electorate, that is, there were many of these people and there were a lot of those people, so we had a real identity competition, and now this war must show how many people have not decided on their identity, a boutique ukrainian national european identity. i think there will be more of them than there could be if there was no war and it may happen after the war in the end, the identity will prevail in the majority, these people do not necessarily have to be smart, there are geniuses, they can be idiots - this is absolutely normal, because you know that once the state of israel was created david ben-gurion said that his dream was for the jews to have their own police officers and prostitutes , we also need this , so that there would be so many people with ukrainian national identity , that the middle would have their own police officers, their own corrupt officers, their own slanderers of their heroes, and

that the anti-corruption officers should be ukrainian-speakers who see this country in europe, they condemned corrupt people who also speak ukrainian, and we did not think that if he speaks ukrainian, then he is ours. maybe he cannot steal. and the one who speaks russian does not deserve beauty because he ours and vice versa have always happened, it’s just like that, frog. i say that in romania, all corrupt officials speak romanian, but the people who fight corruption also speak romanian , and in bulgaria and in france, these are completely different identities. the ukraine of those who are with russia and this is the success of our national idea in the fact that we will live simply in an ordinary european state, ukrainians that we are going through, the path to this identity makes the pain shorter so that this path is more

evolutionary and without war, but it is already so as is and we cannot change it because no one changes history, so i sincerely wish you to wake up in this country where competition will no longer be identical, where people will perceive that information realistically and where and where you and i will live in a customs and successful state, i sincerely wish you thank you, thank you to my colleagues from p yukray for the organization of this group , show the organization although about the organization of the international center of sovereign nations , which is currently engaged in this project, which we created in order to promote this idea of ​​the real world in our country on to the post-soviet space as well, and i thank you all for coming here in such a difficult time, i said in a pause between air alarms , i wish you

to sleep peacefully today without sirens, thank you friends sincerely , after months of waiting, ukraine will receive western tanks, including the most massive european leopard -2 and the american abrams are the realities of donbas, this time we will discuss what advantages the ukrainian army can get together with this equipment, how it can affect the battlefield with russia and what challenges it faces the ukrainian army, together with the appearance of western main battle tanks in the formation, are prevented from advancing closer to ukrainian positions by russian mines, that is why they did not reach you, although they will bring something again, eh, and we have to wait until it quietens down and

gets completely dark . in order to try to get closer to the position of the ukrainian soldiers of bakhmut . they pressed for replenishment themselves. well, they communicate all the time with parades, and well, it can be seen when it is a military personnel . that is, i am not a professional, but also a military man. at first , he voluntarily came to the war there, but over the years, there has been almost a year of war. well, you can already learn to identify where this person is who just came out of the zone there and picked up a walkie-talkie and does not know how to communicate bkmk or a person who communicates professionally, he

determines the azimuths there and communicate more about well more through hidden channels there communication with a third language that is, we clearly know what is here wagner was cheap, but wagner is all over, this is one of the preparations for the assault on the ukrainian positions in this direction, a group of infantry gathered near the building, first moves away from it and then returns, partially disappearing behind it while the forces of several assault groups are accumulating, one shift explodes a few meters from the assembly point and it was also disrupted earlier. they could simply give their manpower. and now they iron iron iron iron and tighten their forces a little at a time. they work with their own means. the infantry doesn't take much risk. it tries to pull back if it doesn't work. well, for now, people are exhausted, that is, people need to be changed , some mini-rotations are needed. many brigades were broken

by constant waves of ork assaults . and yes, the borkin are stronger than the defenders of ukraine. we stand here in defense of the homeland on protect our homes, our villages, our cities , morally, we have hmm, the bar is higher than it is four broadcasts, usually a card, a signal, a doorman , you see with a call sign, the artist worked for 17 years as an actor in the theater named after lesya ukrainka in kyiv and now he commands a unit under the same bahmut four days ago there was a total heck of a mess that we have never seen and in 11 months of war 10 km of the front went on the offensive at the same time and the distance between the orks was 20 m .

they saw it and it happened for about an hour, it was just trash, but they managed to make an impression on him, and normally, the equipment is less than, for example, in the north or the frontier. well , because they allow landing very much, everything is very open there, we have a bird’s eye view , they don’t have such an opportunity if we want to so that there is no such question well, we constantly work with the rear when we work at tables, they keep their problems there, trying to solve everything, they already forget that they wanted to go on the offensive, when they advance , unfortunately, it is already too late for artillery and lng to work that is, we can adjust as much as possible where they are coming from and how they are so that our commanders can transmit information in a timely manner, because moving everything there already depends on the guys, that is, we can only observe the shot

of various mounted grenade launchers, machine guns and slight interspersion of equipment and taking into account the mobilization of many formed divisions in the defense forces are riflemen, that is, they have a rather limited arsenal of weapons because the army has significantly increased in number, but the equipment still has to be resisted in order to destroy a tank, it is necessary to hunt for it, this is a whole huge procedure strategy and so on and so on , he stands in place, he goes to a certain distance, works out and goes out very rarely when they are working now already from closed positions from caponers and so on. it will be detected and then hit a moving target, it is quite difficult tanks of grief and 72 arrived from poland with almost zero mileage during the months

of the war already suffered damage from enemy fire, holes are broken here, these are the holes even in the last frequent interruptions, they were broken up, did not go there, he was going as if i was knocked down, as you know, as if i were in a bad cart . so i sat there, swaying, we didn’t drive like that. advancing after being hit by an rpg - the commander lost contact with the driver-mechanic and in order to remove the tank from the battlefield climbed onto the armor, although at the same time the enemy fired three rocket-propelled grenades at the tank, the combat vehicle eventually successfully retreated without losses, the russian position was not far away, i.e. 3,600 meters before landing

that is, i voted for her once, i ran, you know, it will be oh , she goes to the store, that store bangs , she has nothing to go , she caresses. we drove not far from the landing of the meters after fast and back very slowly games mobilized in march and mastered the tank from scratch it was drilled by a graduate with such a call sign ugly who himself became a device due to the russian invasion he had a month to prepare people for the war with him - it was no well, because this is a person who wants to, who climbs on his own, who asks on his own, looks, so if people don't want it, it's not very difficult. well, it's not difficult enough. i was alone in this process

. at first, i didn't have any commanders. they were trained at the very beginning of this zero, some groups, some crews were formed from them. yes, it was a little difficult for me myself, but after more officers joined me in the unit, it became easier. with tanks on an old t-72, the graduate went forward , suppressed the machine gun, but the side of his tank was pierced and the gunner was wounded. however, the officer changed tanks and continued to lead his unit, and we went forward because, well, the infantry for us i was hiding because i understand very well that one bullet from her infantryman can either be wounded or killed . and for me, what is the reason that my car lost visual contact with the infantry and at

that very moment an enemy rpg ran out of its landing and it started firing with rpgs, it was a long distance away meters 20, according to the letter belens, before the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, the army had up to a thousand tanks, the majority of them - 64 in battles, the ukrainian army lost more than 450, about the same number of t-72s received from the allies, but their stocks are decreasing, ukrainians need tanks of equal value or surpassing the russian tanks, even taking into account the statistics, it seems that russia was able to get the t-80 and how many were in storage and deliver them to the ukrainian shadow theater in ukraine, western tanks are needed for the offensive, which have better protection and , importantly, better visibility, which exceeds most russian tanks or

the same as theirs, the tank fleet of the armed forces of ukraine will soon grow, the united states will send 31 abrams and great britain 14 challenger, two leopard-2 transmissions can be expected from at least 10 countries, but how many will be unclear donbas realities according to data according to them, the balance doctors calculated the number of leopards in the country of the operators starting with version 2:4 as the most massive and which two six exactly ukraine receives . austria and hungary are not on this list, which officially refused to supply weapons to ukraine. will do whatever they want , first of all, it is about combining all the tools that ukraine receives. yes, i think you need more than three hundred. think about the size of the units of the combined forces.

about it, intelligence, a defense breakthrough, to carry out a major operation, you need brigade battalions, even armored divisions, you need more than 100,300, it will be great, more is even better, the west, as a rule, uses its tanks in pairs, but tanks are used on the battlefield both in defense and in the offensive . there were incomplete means of the enemy and the provision of combat operations primarily of mechanized and e motorized infantry units when tank crews and a tank platoon conducts reconnaissance e-e calls artillery fire corrects artillery fire firing at long ranges from positions unusual for us when

there are two-level trenches for firing. this is how a soviet tank looks from the gunner’s place. all of them were designed with a low profile, that is, low visibility and significant reservation, and there is always little space a-a in all soviet tanks. this is about the 64 t-72 t-80 they do not have a charger in their crew, instead there is an automatic system, it is either an automatic charger or a charging mechanism, so when it comes to the future transition of the ukrainian army to western tanks of the army will have to train a new member of the charging crew, it happens that something goes wrong , water gets somewhere, water gets on the wiring and it doesn’t always charge. direct duties therefore, charging it will be

much better purely due to the fact that a person has started charging and despite the obvious advantages of western tanks, ukraine will not be able to use them here and now except for training crews need to improve logistics and service; an example of this for ukraine can be poland , where about 850 soviet t-72s of various modifications were in service at the end of the 90s, the first leopards warsaw ordered another batch for 10 years in 2002 and are now in service with the polish army there are more than two hundred leopards now in ukraine, the battalion is 31 tanks, e -e, the battalion of vehicles we have the e 508, not much more, and it also changes the issue of logistics and training, which is the first thing to be afraid of

. in fact, everything. in fact, everything that was needed to build from scratch and it would take time in our case it took it took time er it was at least several years, most likely the leopard 2 will not become a tank of the polish army last year it was announced to purchase abrams and later korean k2 tanks in the plans of the polish army to completely abandon from soviet machines, warsaw has already transferred a third of its t-72s to ukraine in the future , the transfer of an even larger number of leopards, of which 14 units have been announced so far , is it possible that more tanks will be sent from poland to ukraine by chains. that's all of us here it depends on how long it takes from the moment we ordered these tanks from the usa and south korea to the moment when they are already in the churches from a unit

of the polish armed forces, then this first batch of 116 a brattsiv and if i i am not mistaken, the year 2024 is our neighbor and ally, poland, the operator of the leopard 2a4 and leopard 2pl tanks. that is why it has sufficient experience in operation and maintenance and repair. that is why it has the absolute entire infrastructure for both maintenance and repair. unfortunately , it is about the abrams, about the infrastructure for repair of abrams we cannot say this yet, even the poles cannot say this, it will only unfold in the next few months on the territory of poland, therefore, from

the point of view of a tankist, as a user, as a crew member, yes, abrams is better, especially in the seb version, two seb -3 but from the point of view of the general military commander, so far for us it is probably leopard 2a4 and leopard 2a6, so from the point of view of logistics, from the point of view of operation, it is better if challengers and leopards of the armed forces of ukraine will be on the battlefield in a few months, then with american tanks the situation is different, the washington post writes that the ukrainian army will receive the abrams no earlier than the end of this year, including with the export version, they will remove the protective elements from depleted uranium, this is a common practice when supplying such tanks abroad, 11 parts

of the kit, the us is worried that the attack will be too large a load for ukrainians , the gas turbine engine is very difficult to maintain and is not similar to the teo weapons that are in the ukrainian army, the tank also has very complex electronics of strong digitized volume again requires a lot of maintenance work and in the end it uses a lot of fuel when the abrams goes half a mile 1 km one gallon takes almost 4 liters so it needs constant refueling all together makes it not a very suitable weapon for ukraine the leopard is much better the us agreed to provide the abrams to to give the germans a political impetus so that they would dare to send the leopards, a challenger, a soviet warrior , love, i know for sure that the usa did not make a decision

on the transfer of tanks. if they knew that they would not be able to help ukraine with tactics during their use from training to maintenance of tanks are challenges not problems that i know of as a former military man who works with the pentagon thousands of people have thought about how to overcome challenges and reduce risks maybe someday when ukraine achieves its goal of knocking russia out of its territory it will become a member of nato and reforms the army like nato, then of course make the m1 the main tank, but now tanks are needed quickly and the fastest solution is the leopard along with all the others because they will take everything hey butseiki i am an abramsian leopard two were used in combat german tank

used in afghanistan and syria, specifically in syria, turkey lost about 10 tanks, most of them were hit by anti-tank missiles, a few were blown up by mines, the loss of tanks in ukraine cannot be avoided, given that they will most likely be used , including in complex urban battles. i have my own experience of using dances in urban areas bohdan and raku have a very simple population, very dense territories and in any situation there should be 100% tanks in the cities , all these tanks, including the abrams, evolution their improvements are based on their lessons learned in urban battles, for example folluji community, western tanks were modernized. in order to strengthen their importance in urban fields , it is known that in addition to modern tanks, germany allowed the export to ukraine of leopard 1, this is an older model that was produced until the mid -80s in general, the machine is at the same level as the 64th armed forces in total, they plan to transfer 88 units

that are in the warehouses of the manufacturer rain metal tanks - this is just one of the elements of war, like other equipment or weapons, the extent to which they will affect combat actions depends on many factors, the tactics of their use in battles, the command, the ability to keep them in good condition , the availability of ammunition, but the training of the crews will affect the vanguards, and this process also takes time. in battles. so we will start retraining them on western models. this will be a period of four, six, eight weeks. if we go the way that we are now demobilizing

those tankers who served 15-20 25 years ago back, then we will get a term of about one and a half maybe even two times longer and you have to teach people , you have to teach units, you have to teach headquarters so, actually, success in battle is achieved by the one who plans correctly, the one who implements the plans, er, the one who will be on the battlefield very to quickly respond to changes in the situation occurring on the battlefield and be able to respond to new challenges, to apply new ways and methods of conducting hostilities and to defeat the enemy, well, ukraine is not iraq, but still , thermal imagers would agree very much because

we are going against the enemy who is armed with tanks with fairly good thermal imagers that see us and we are theirs . we had episodes when we had to shoot after a flash of enemy shots because we did not see them. that is why it is much better. new tanks of a new model, any firearm that works at a distance has a tremendous effect , i’ll even explain why a-a is alive, that is, people, they are priceless , a box of abrams leopard, i don’t know heimers , yes, it costs a lot, it’s cool, but it is not more expensive than the life of a ukrainian defender, and the more resources there are, the fewer my brothers, my friends, my family , who have become necessary to me, will die and even one box, even one abrams is a very, very strong force that helps in neutralizing the enemy, helps to work at
