[000:00:00;00] i'm talking about what the european union needs ukraine for and why it's not only and not so much there, well, it's a kind of burden yes. that is , it was talked about quite a lot here , including from an economic point of view and as an opportunity yes there is the investment of capital and efforts, and by the way, again, like in the conditions of war. this is also a factor of such stability, well , in conditions like after the war, and as it turned out that ukraine it is very stable. it doesn't matter here, because the big question is which other european country is in the conditions

such an influx was withstood, and that is precisely why, as a factor of stability, ukraine is also very important for europe, and not only for nato , but as a military power, and for the european union, our country has also joined, and we have been compatible with by nato standards, especially in the military plan, and especially for ukraine. these are the security guarantees that we need now, in your opinion, if that is , when we become members of nato, it will accelerate our movement towards the european union. i think that here, well, you know how we often connect it, although in fact, it's two from the point of view of civilization, yes , it's two somewhere. well, two standards of the same dimension, yes . that is, you can talk about this in a big way

, as far as i'm concerned. that is, from a legal point of view and without a super practical yes, i think that it is so to speak and er also proof there of certain standards er that is proof of what yes that this ukraine meets such standards that ukraine is already er also included in certain institutional there i owe some that coincide with 70-80% of all by other members of the european union, that's why it's so, that's why this uh will contribute precisely in this well mental somehow, apparently uh measurements yes, because it 's unequivocally so to speak as a sign of quality yes or uh hm or like yes if you can say spurs against during the reception to the european union dmytro, in your opinion, what changed

after february 24, 2022 in the context that until that moment we were essentially kept at the door ? the prospect of ukraine's accession to the european union is gene-gene for the field for the forest there after a decade, and after february 22, all the processes were suddenly activated , although, in fact, there is a direct correlation of some kind between the full-scale attack of russia on ukraine and the movement of ukraine to the european union, so you can't draw a straight line, nevertheless we see how now everything has accelerated, just for a decade that has changed, it has accelerated, yes, here. although i want to say that there are actually enough skeptics regarding ukraine, skepticism

is actually enough. yes, it’s just that in these conditions, uh, and well, it’s not even somewhere, it’s not even obscene, yes, to talk about what uh, well, to express somehow, although ah, you see, the president even mentioned this about decades, and he also said such conversations and they still continue on and uh, but uh, actually what has changed has changed, well, first of all, uh, even uh, yes, from the moral point of view of ukraine, the only country in europe that really pays blood for its european integration, and on this three and more, it has proven that it is following this path and more that it turned out that it is stable that it dispelled many myths from on the occasion of one's own inability in the fact that it did not happen, allegedly and against this background, it is simple to deny this movement of ukraine to the european union and european

integration well, firstly, it is stupid , and secondly, hmm, why? because here it is not easy there even there from a moral point of view yes there because of the fact that people are dying and even because of the fact that uh, institutional ukraine turned out to be stable in order to show that it meets the standards of being in the european union. i think this is exactly what has changed . internationalist was with us on a direct video link and he is convinced that ukraine will become a part of the european union sooner or later, but of course we wanted it to be soon, but in ukrainian intelligence they say that russia does not have the resources for a large-scale offensive by the anniversary of the invasion on february 24, and the white house predicts it for the spring, the east of the country is currently the hottest point of hostilities, the enemy wants to break through our defenses in the luhansk and donetsk directions, is shelling the military and

civilians, however, we are not successful vladyslav palivoda, this is footage of the village of novoselivsk in luhansk region, ruins fell to the ground after the russians , footage of donetsk region in hell bakhmut vugledar maryinka avdiyivka invaders wipe cities and towns from the face of the earth , they seek to capture them, but they stand steadfast thanks to our military, they push the enemy back, avdiyivka is just not needed - this is ukraine. our unit is holding the defense under fire . we have never retreated.

to actively advance with a large number of people, says the military man who defends this difficult direction, here they will simply sow the fields with infantry, that is, they have enough resources , so after all, their bunker, er, dwarf fulfilled what he promised, carried out a hidden mobilization of resources, they have enough, the enemy is powerful, eh, quantitatively but it is not powerful , high-quality, that is, we still have more ammunition than they have human resources, no less fierce battles in luhansk region, the enemy became more active, looking for weak points in the defense of our guys and started advancing on the svatov crime line, but even there it receives a powerful repulse, now look at the bull, it is being used, the separatists have been completely cleared . there, somewhere around 200-300 russian army is trying to advance in the donetsk and luhansk regions, but the armed forces of ukraine do not allow it, briefly uses a large number of manpower between the assault groups

the artillery has now strengthened in order to achieve its goals, well, the hostilities are continuing in some major gains, er, the russian troops , as of today, they do not have them , they have been trying to conduct assaults for 2-3 weeks, there are frontal the attacks suffer losses and leave despite this what is it that this is an elite unit the main goal of the occupiers is to reach the borders of luhansk and donetsk regions according to our intelligence putin ordered it to be done by march the defense forces of ukraine are taking all measures regarding the explosion once again e-e such plans of the enemy and carry out a halt to the advance of the very heavy and zap-pahs of the donetsk luhansk region in the south , although the dio-occupants do not carry out offensives, they nevertheless shell the front-line cities under

fire every day kherson russian missiles hit in the border regions of sumy, chernihiv and kharkiv. he sees that our air defense system is being strengthened and he is trying to reduce the time of departure, er, actually, to limit himself to the eastern regions of ukraine, that is , it really shows his lack of confidence, but at the same time, we see that the message is still there in relation to the ivano-frankivsk e.e. lviv oblasts e.e. it could be so, that is, a big big game is going on, such a big chess game and the enemy is looking for promotion, weak points here , the defenses are not going to give up such terror tactics a confident military expert, because for putin it is also a psychological drive against ukrainians, this is happening in order to, uh, mean to put moral and psychological pressure on the citizens of our country and thus influence them to try

to influence the leadership of the state in order to force them to switch to negotiations on limitation captured lands for our purposes are unyielding despite insane losses, which is almost 150,000. putin is ready to fight to the last russian for the sake of his imperial dreams, our military is ready for this and will destroy the invaders we have there is a motivation to protect our state, protect the cities, villages where our families, our children live, and we have nowhere to retreat vladyslav palivoda, we are ukraine, the marathon, the only news tomorrow is a holiday in ukraine, and it is not valentine's day , but another rammstein, the ninth meeting of the contact group regarding military support for ukraine will take place on february 14 and we are again placing our hopes on it. we are waiting for even more weapons. we are hoping for aviation and long-range missiles. what can be the results

of this meeting? let's try to predict further in the next story, modern artillery weapons, anti-aircraft defense equipment , ammunition and tens of thousands of projectiles, these are the weapons of victory, which we received as a result of the 8th meetings of the contact group of the so-called rammstein format. progress achieved, as well as very substantive discussions about what needs to be done to help ukraine in the future and the main expectations of aviation president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi during his visit to britain called on our partners to provide ukraine with airplanes hints that we might have them if we want them. however, whether they will make this decision

precisely at the ninth rammstein is questionable. but experts are convinced that this very topic will be central for us. er, this fits into the logic. let's say the provision of the weapons that we receive. why? because we received artillery , we continue to receive tanks for armored cars , armored vehicles, er, but of course, if we talk about er, elements of the triad, let's say which would provide effective, for example, counter-offensive actions, then in general, for this, aviation, artillery, tanks, armed equipment and other weapons are needed , in particular, long-range missiles, by the way, the usa has already announced a new package of military aid, which includes a new glsdb ground-based missile

with a range of up to 150 km by a stork for this action, it is more than 100 km. this is what we need now in order to break logistical ties. troops in order to destroy it all and, as a result, to stop the offensive activity of the russian troops, we need these weapons to continue discussing the issue of supplying a larger amount of heavy equipment , experts predict that the same will be on the agenda, as well as logistical and organizational and technical issues of supplying tanks to ukraine. after all , uninterrupted supply must be ensured spare parts and their maintenance in combat conditions, it is logistics and success that determines the success of all operations carried out on the modern battlefield, and with the situation when

well, a decision was made to transfer a different number of various types of tanks. of course, one of the main main problems is their maintenance, the organization of their operation , the provision of the necessary consumables, including ammunition, will be discussed by the contact group and the provision of projectiles , the equipment already existing on the battlefield and the topic of strengthening the air defense of ukraine vladyslav polyhoda we ukraine marathon single news each country must independently approve the transfer to ukraine fighter jets, the representative of the white house, john kirby, said that, according to him, even if the ukrainians receive western planes, they still need to learn to fly them, this is all a sovereign decision if a nato country or even a country that is not part of the alliance wants to provide ukraine

with such opportunities as fighter jets it is definitely their decision, john kirby, the coordinator of the us security council of the white house, but it is not easy to make a decision on the transfer of f16 fighter jets to ukraine, following the example of poland, the president of this country said , and duda, according to him, poland is a member nato and therefore any decision on the supply of combat aircraft to ukraine must be a joint f-16 sending f-16 aircraft to ukraine will create a serious problem because the polish air force has less than 50 aircraft in service, we do not have enough of them and we will need many more besides f16 they have a very serious need for maintenance so it is not enough to just send a few planes i want the final decision on the transfer of fighters has not yet been made britain has already started training ukrainian pilots in in the office of the british prime minister rishish suneka noted how the country planned to expand the training of the armed forces

of ukraine at sea and in the air, in particular fighter pilots and marines, in addition, britain promised to speed up the supply of military equipment for the defense forces with us in communication kyrylo novikov avia -expert kyrylo good night good night good evening please tell me, if we put aside the political component, then in the issue of the transfer of aircraft , what factors should be understood and kept in focus in order to approximately predict how the process moves purely from a technical point of view, if you don't get attached to the model of the planes and so on, there is a plane , and a decision was made to transfer it there. and how long does it take? what factors affect it ? unit a about a group of aircraft or even entire units of such combat vehicles, in addition to the fact that the transfer of the equipment itself must, er , take place, the transfer let's say yes, the transfer of knowledge

is related to maintenance, operation , and repair, because the aircraft require almost monthly attention from the aircraft engineering and it is clear that ukraine, which has never repaired or operated such equipment, should be deployed in parallel. such bases are deployed, if we talk about the complexity of the transfer of aircraft itself, then the president of poland will really correct the situation here. i think the president of any european union country would say the same thing cannot be carried out, let's say to the detriment of the air force of this or that country , only on parity terms, such transfers must be carried out, that is, with certain compensations, so that the gdp of those countries that transfer to them does not decrease their own

potential, mr. kirill, and for these planes, in order for us to get them, we must have the appropriate infrastructure. they have to be located somewhere, take off from somewhere, and we know that in these difficult realities, russia can easily calculate where our planes are based. and what about this question, what to do, it is possible to base them somewhere abroad, it is possible that there will be such a solution to the problem, unfortunately, ukraine is not a member of the european union, it is not a member of nato , accordingly, the use of such combat vehicles from the territory of these countries will most likely be it is impossible, given the official relations. yes, accordingly, ukraine itself should place as far as i understand, ukraine itself should place hide these placements, of course, there are enough air bases in ukraine today , the competence of the decentralized

control of the air force is enough. firstly, they do not gather in large groups, and secondly, they are well disguised, that is, today i am not ready to say exactly where and no one will say , of course, where exactly they should be placed so that the enemy i didn't learn about it, so i know that the general staff has enough competence - to plan in the context of the transfer of aircraft, we often talk about the f-16 model, although it is clear that it is not the only one that can be considered, but if let's talk about the f16, how complex is this machine with from the point of view of that transfer of knowledge. what you need to know about it and from the point of view of technical maintenance, because it has been in operation for a very long time , in fact, half a century, something from the 80s, it is the most massive aircraft used

today by the air force of the western block produced in the usa, it is in operation in many countries of the world, not only in europe, but also in asian countries, and by the operators of f16 of various modifications, in total , more than 2,000 of them have been released, and today the transfer of knowledge on this machine is probably not difficult , obviously, because it has really been used for a long time by plane and universal we are talking about the fact that any transfer of such equipment entails a whole set of necessary e-e infrastructure solutions and solutions for personnel training, and it is very good that today we finally hear that the ukrainian pilots and, most likely, technicians are already actively preparing for the management of such equipment for its operation. well, i'm sure that i'm just not telling everyone because it's illogical to reveal these plans, giving this information

to the enemy, but i'm sure that the very task of transferring aircraft no matter how many there are, it continues according to all the canons that provide for this procedure, mr. kyrylo said, the process of training pilots is a very long process, just as it is the process of training a-a tank brigades e-e and currently our e-tankers are training and if western countries train their tankers for 10 months, the program is aimed at training, then ours will master western tanks in a short period of time. and what about airplanes, how quickly can we train our pilots? well, the fact is that from the first day of the war a i take the year 2014 as the process of exchange of experience, exchange of e-e trainings , they take place between ukraine and nato countries constantly, and we have

the corresponding joint trainings now, of course, since the 22nd year, they are much more intensive, yes i would like to point out that in ukraine, a large number of pilots are being trained. they are quite high-class and they are, if it didn’t sound bitter, but they are being trained very well . precisely because they participate, including in hostilities, in fact, there are actually ukrainian pilots somewhere. in my opinion the opinion is more professional in terms of using knowledge about combat experience. and even before mastering the machine, this is a spear, a shorter term for the transition to the f16, a professional pilot needs no more than three months, and as for the cadets, well, apparently, the story is complicated here because the cadets are still taught on the old soviet equipment with a planned transition to the main combat vehicles and here are the cadets . it seems to me that the story is a little longer . if we talk about alternatives to the f16,

what are they ? what kind of machine the main thing is that this machine was uh well made and had good understandable uh characteristics so accordingly you can learn everything today the air fleet is the so-called combat air fleet in europe it is enough to talk about it i would say that these are planes which in principle, they all represent the fourth generation, there are no older planes in operation, somewhere there are even fifth-generation planes, of which there are still few in europe, and except in 16, there are 18 european e-e aircrafts manufactured by boeing, there are eurofighters, there are tornadoes, they are represented in germany has swedish saabs. that is, they are various machines in terms of their characteristics and purposes, there are many

modifications, but all of them, in one way or another, are fourth-generation aircraft that have certain tactical and technical characteristics and approximately the same set of weapons, mr. krylov. well, how do they differ from the swedish mushroom, not the british typhoons, but the american f-16s, there is fundamentally some difference between them, in fact, there is no fundamental difference, i repeat, these are all fourth-generation fighters, mostly these are many target aircraft, some of them are deck-based, some of them are modifications that are used in ordinary ground e-e well , we are the ground troops, e-e, those that are the main ones for various special forces there, well, in general, planes can be used by all types of troops and the f16 and all its other analogues

competitors, of course, they have certain structural differences, for example, uh, significant differences, or the presence of one or two engines, it’s there , for example, i have a 16:1 engine, it is more maneuverable, lighter, so it can carry more weapons, instead, there are french mirages or dasorafan also in service with the air force in france , there is a modification with one or two engines of the design, they cannot differ according to the aerodynamic scheme, they can differ according to certain characteristics, which in general do not affect the decision-making to use one or another aircraft, for example, in germany there is no 16 h. several times we emphasized that the 16 is a fourth-generation aircraft . and how many generations are there in general in fighter aviation? and what is the difference between the fourth generation and the third or those that came before it? i mean conceptual such the largest conceptual fighter aircraft actually originates from the second world war and

it was a conditional first generation because there they were so diverse that you cannot compose a single concert and in the future after there was the second world war and the second generation was transitional and the third generation. perhaps the most basic is the generation of the times of the active phase of the cold war, which is the main difference in the design of planes there. one of the main representatives of the third generation is miga planes, for example, no. 21 and this is high speed a high flight height and the possibility to quickly drop weapons somewhere far away, yes, that is, the fourth generation - these are aircraft produced from the 70s, well, in fact, from the end of the 70s until the 90s , the fourth generation plus even modernization, i.e. what is the main difference between the generations - this is the updating of the constant updating

of the aircraft control system, the introduction of even more electronics in the system that control the fire, and these are radar systems that are installed on the aircraft, and , of course, technologies that apply to engines , for example, on engines of the fourth generation already there is a controllable thrust vector, that is , the engine nozzle changes the direction of the flow. in this way , the direction of movement of the aircraft can be controlled additionally , the fifth generation is over modern airplanes airplanes representative of the main f-35 and there is a chinese analogue, there is russia, a tax of such and such a generation that did not go, thank god, weapons , they can’t do anything good, well, in general, the f-35, for example, can already uh. practically, the pilot can do most tasks of combat tasks and is easily managed let's say yes thank you for this excursion kirill novikov's aviation expert shared his

knowledge on the subject of fighter aviation and i think that which generation is suitable for us is not so important, our military knows and our western partners know the main thing in order to as soon as possible, this generation defended the ukrainian stage, friends. and bohdan and i. thank you for being with us. the only news is that it continues . wars and hospitals have become fortresses of light that heal not only the body but also the soul

through fatigue and pain, they continue to protect the light of hope, their reward is our smiles and hugs, their joy is another saved person they know the value of every life, that's why they protect the light inside us. we are grateful to the doctors who continue to save people despite the darkness outside the window. thank you. i love my city, old cozy streets, new wide noisy avenues. i love the smell of coffee in the morning in a cafe near the house . on the playground in the park, i
