[000:00:00;00] an average of 3,000 units, and someone provided two 900 data, someone 32,300, but on average it is 3,000 . so they draw conclusions from documentary confirmed data . that it is either in the war zone, it is pink somewhere in the field, or it was taken to the cemeteries of equipment on the territory of russia, the rostov , belgorod and kursk regions, which are now growing, these cemeteries are evil companions of theirs we can see that they have already become quite so large-scale, and according to the data of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, the number of destroyed russian tanks exceeds 3,000, and therefore this is quite such a debatable statement, in my opinion, more than half of them were destroyed. and

this is critical for russia now that they are preparing another offensive and yes, this is very critical, why because there is actually no production of tanks in russia, and the t-72 and t-80 tanks and they have not been produced since 1998, and the t-90 tanks have not existed in russia since 2011 to this day modernization, repair, and maintenance of the tank fleet, as well as, of course, the removal from preservation of storage warehouses , the preservation of centers for the preservation of a-a main battle tanks and bringing them to a combat-ready state directly from the serial production of tank equipment. it is not even worth considering, they have already talked about it, so it is such a new tank, relatively still. thank you very much oleksandr kovalenko , military-political columnist of

the information resistance group, it was on radio svoboda thank you well, i remind you, if you watch us on the internet, like this broadcast in this way, support our work and the youtube algorithm works in this way what the more likes and comments, the more people learn about the freedom of life well and one more topic the ministry of foreign affairs in france urged its citizens to urgently leave the territory of belarus due to the war in ukraine . the french foreign ministry noted that under the conditions of russia's armed offensive against ukraine and the closure of belarusian airspace, any trips to belarus are formally not welcome. is it possible for russia to launch a second attack on ukraine from the territory of belarus? the majority of the development says that this is unlikely at the moment , but ukraine is preparing for all possible scenarios, but in the rivne region near the belarusian border, the regional defense forces conducted joint exercises and worked out defense scenarios in case of a possible offensive

. look how it was at this training session. we were ambushing a combat convoy. machine gunners on atvs drove up to the tentatively, then they advanced to this irka, then they covered the approach of all the other three coal groups, that is, the first group advanced to the far region. well , where are we now

? the second group went closer to the machine gunners. now we are standing, explosives were planted, as we saw when the detonation was taking place, then there was the destruction of the enemy's combat column , the grenade launchers worked, and then there was a flurry of fire from all the weapons that, well , we had today , now the landing is taking place epicenter and we we are destroying the enemy landing force, it is visible now that you have destroyed it, now a clearing group will go, which will be waiting, we will cover them, it exploded, it worked first, we were the first to destroy it, we continued to achieve it, the strength of the people

is located at the base of the jeep, which can fire at ground forces, and for air targets. today we destroyed the landing force. we destroyed those that landed. at this site , don't even go and shoot this one, because here it will be a cover, yes, of course. we are waiting for me on the territory of the republic of belarus for the present time there are units of the sixth mother rifle division of the third army corps and territorial troops with a total number of about 9,000 people, there are about 60 armored combat vehicles, 40 artillery systems, as well as the remaining

aviation after joint exercises. so we on the second copter normally see the departure of the second personal assault group in principle, the composition is guided by the building, they had a plan in advance, they worked out some rooms, some corridors, the second group works through the entrance door to the city council by by shooting at the doors and entering according to the plan of the training, six armed criminals entered the premises of the city council, took prisoners of the employees of the city council and demanded property claims. the national police entered on the left flank and carried out an assault under

the cover of armored vehicles of the sbu with the help of systems and climbers entered the premises of the city council from the roof of the vara city council to the third floor through the windows russia wants to change the government in the republic of moldova and bring its own people to power in chisinau protégés announced this today, the president of the country, sandu, with this statement, she actually confirmed the words of volodymyr zelenskyi that russia is preparing to destroy the political situation in moldova , according to sandu, the kremlin's plan envisaged that under the guise of a protest in moldova

, russian supporters would attack state institutions and take hostages it is claimed that saboteurs with military training dressed in civilian clothes may be involved in these actions, including from abroad with russia , belarus, serbia and montenegro, santo also came out with the statement that some forces in moldova can help russia achieve its goals, including supporters of opposition politicians and businessmen who are currently abroad, according to the president of moldova, russia's goals to stop the european integration of the country and use moldova in the war against ukraine sandu directly linked the actions protests that took place last fall with the plans of russia, saying, however, that the protests did not achieve their goal, the plan for the next period involves actions involving saboteurs with military training

masked in civilian clothes, who will carry out force actions, attack some state buildings and even take hostages by force, masquerading as protests of the so-called opposition, and as a result, a forceful change of power in kisheniv. the russian plan to destroy the political system in moldova. zelensky then said that he passed all this information to sanda. last week, the prime minister resigned moldova's nataliya havrylytsia then noted that ukraine's security problem is at the forefront. well, dorina rechchyna, the former secretary of the security council, has been appointed acting prime minister. it is expected that this week the parliament of moldova will approve him as the head of the government . let's talk further

, oleksandr flenke, the founder of the association initiative for peace moldova, joins the air . i think that on february 24 of last year it became clear to the majority of people living in our country that putin's plans for ukraine are limited to that extent . - eh, that putin wants to restore the soviet union, elena, eh, so i will repeat myself, eh, if this is a page of details in general, yes, you understand your dark mood in society , eh, realizing that such plans were hatched in them, so it was a special surprise, not what do you think? well, there are so many problems in ukraine, sanctions, isolation. why even flattery to moldova, precisely because there are already

enough problems of a military nature for the kremlin in ukraine, as part of the so-called operation within the framework of this wars, it is clear that the scenario that is apparently being developed for moldova is of a non-military nature, eh, but rather, and by the way , he talked about it today and tied joanna's merch with a rope in the fields eh in the run-up to the munich security conference because the plans moscow's relations with moldova are connected rather with demands for destabilization and a forceful change of power, but at that time nothing confirms the existence of similar military plans for the invasion of moldova, this is both unrealistic and necessary. and what do you think, such a plan in the kremlin came up later february 24 of the last year, or was it hatched a long time ago? you know the attempts of this kind to change in moldova , they have actually been made before

. and you can even remember the situation in 2005. at the entrance of the young man, a whole passenger train was detained by the so-called observers who came from russia on the eve of the parliamentary elections in moldova. then the authorities were the communists of voronin, who did not get along with putin later and then the authorities and the special services announced that they expelled all these so-called observers and talked about the fact that these were precisely the people who were prepared for the organization of power-e-e scenarios of a guest coup, so nothing new is needed here in the system. well, how do you think it is still possible to implement such plans? it may be possible already then, after the plans became known, it is not so possible, but nevertheless, how long does the political system in moldova stand and have a strong security system

, so that it does not happen, so that the plans are not implemented? the kremlin did not become possible, or is it still possible under certain circumstances and conditions, well, it is obvious that the public announcement of these plans was first made by zelenskiy, and today the president has sandu, who confirmed that directly confirmed zelenskyi's words, she referred to him, this is the first step in paying for such plans, that is, announcing them . did the president address the parliament with appeals . about the fact that the authorities are ready and deliberately preparing further for such scenarios that, in principle, under the current conditions, we will not

forget that the moldovans practically first the pandemic is in an uninterrupted state due to the normal situation , which has become even stronger after the beginning of the russian aggression against ukraine, so in essence , the management in the commission about due to the normal situation already has due to the usual powers , plus moldova has such a unique situation that after the elections, the parliamentary elections of 2019 year during the following year in essence, the whole party system was destroyed and the situation is now such that it is about the european party of the new powers. and the whole party the position on is discredited and in essence from a more or less politically active position, these are all pro-russian parties, therefore, in fact , the treasury is in power to adhere to all the necessary peace in order for the moldovan society to see what russia

is doing in ukraine in response to any force scenario, is it correct? i understand that in moldova there are, as it were, adherents of the russian kremlin . the kremlin wanted to transfer itself to moldova when implementing its plan. you know, i would not say that the broad masses of the people are oriented for the cream, uh, the people, unfortunately, proceed from the fact that in the last hour the price of gas has increased all times, this is not due to the increase. it is exactly the same, and the price of electricity has tripled, and uh, and for everything else, respectively, along the chain . the special economic situation in the country is really very difficult, so it is clear that the mass of the people have a serious fate and disappointment and concern for their future.

say the closest ally and misinformation propaganda and the simple use of manipulation of these rhythms, that's why it's a controversial topic, which, let's say, gathered in the center of kishinev last fall, and their political leaders do not necessarily explain the same thing, or political leaders can have their instructions from moscow, and people go to the square simply because that life is difficult for him, and the position, as i said a little earlier , the opposition to us is such a system, and a handshake. in spite of everything, partially openly pro-russian, let’s say, the socialists never hid their close er political ties with moscow , partly as regards the shork party , which questions er public opinion, there is actually a third connection with skaz, yes, with some criminal and criminal circles and perhaps there are also connections with moscow, but at least the parties are not distributed

, moreover , they are not denied. to work on it in order to, well, somehow strengthen its security, it is expected that the approval will happen in the government this week, in principle, the secret of this is not done at the latest on thursday, it will happen he says that it can be even as early as wednesday , new examples of dorin rychan not only secretaries, this is security for them, they just have a minister of internal affairs, that is , a big man, and in principle, during a briefing , after he was appointed to the president as a candidate, for example, such a position, he is sufficiently transparent to the internal window about what first of all, it will be accepted by the mayor to bring more order and discipline in the state authorities, thanks for the comment oleksandr flenka, the founder

of the association initiative for the peace of moldova, thanks , ukrainian tankers have started training in operating leopard tanks, leopard 2 training is taking place simultaneously in germany and poland know that more than 100 ukrainian soldiers have arrived in poland alone , the head of the training group at the training ground of the turbo mode course told journalists about this today it will pass three times faster than usual because the polish instructors on the right understand that it is very urgent how ukrainian tankers are mastering leopards in poland, what assessment has already been given to these machines at the test site , my colleague zoryana stepanenko visited her report, we will show her report next , the ukrainian crew controls the polish spaces for now according to the legend working out the conditional

counter-offensive, so far according to the legend or not , the instructors who work with us from norway , canada, from poland provide very high-quality information and are highly professional. at this stage, we are at the beginning of learning about the quality of this machine and its combat characteristics. it is still morning to talk, but today i can say that the machine

is of very good quality, very good and what i like . our soldiers liked it very much. my soldiers have combat experience . they did not come. from the street, they have been fighting on tanks on ours for some time, and therefore it is much easier for them to study this tank. all my soldiers, too, and i personally, we came from the eastern front, donetsk, luhansk, without from the area of ​​hostilities, so we did not have much time left that is, we received a command and literally two or three days and we were already in poland, we are very lacking in armored vehicles and i hope that when we come with this equipment to the front line, it will save a lot of lives for our soldiers and

also bring us closer to victory for our instructors who are currently training ukrainians they ukrainians protect not only themselves but also all of us from russian imperialism that is reviving and we in poland know first hand what this phenomenon is and we do not want to see its repetition this was a report from the polish training ground where ukrainians are learning to fight on the german leopards well, the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov went to the american ramstein air base for negotiations with the allies of ukraine in germany, the meeting in the rammstein format will take place tomorrow, let me remind you literally . probably at the bank , then they changed their minds and suspended the decision to dismiss the minister, explaining this by the fact

that negotiations in the rammstein format are ahead, where it is unlikely that anyone will be able to replace reznikov so quickly. reznikov himself, going to rammstein, said that the main issues on the agenda at this meeting, in particular, are the protection of the ukrainian sky, the development of a tank coalition, the training of ukrainian soldiers and the formation of ammunition stocks. according to reuters, nato will ask the member countries of the alliance to increase the stockpiles of supplies that have been depleted due to the war in ukraine, the source of the agency reported that it had reached a conclusion that the members of the alliance did not fulfill their tasks regarding the increase of ammunition even before russia's full-fledged invasion of ukraine in 2022, as reuters notes, many nato countries did not reach the targets for ammunition stocks because they believed that wars of attrition with heavy artillery duels were a thing of the past, the agency notes that ukraine in the battle with russia uses up to 10,000 artillery shells per day, if europe were at war with russia, some countries

would run out of ammunition in a few days , a so-called european diplomat told reuters what results should kiev expect after the ninth rammstein, let's talk about it in particular, a military expert , colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy grabsky, serhiy u my greetings my greetings studio good evening serhiy what do you expect from tomorrow's meeting in the rammstein format what's for you chrome will be a sign that the meeting was successful, you know that the meeting is taking place, it is already a great success , because it is necessary to understand that a---------------------------------------------------------- uh, we are working tirelessly to achieve certain goals, and of course we would like to have everything at once, but we must understand that the following issues are on the agenda right now, namely the fundamental issue of aviation to the extent that it should be resolved because, in my opinion ,

well, we have already taken the first logical step, and this is the step of obtaining heavy equipment defense, but we must understand that without cover from the air, this equipment can be quite vulnerable, it is heavy, it does not move so quickly and must be reliably covered, including from the air. so we need aviation, you have already touched on the topic of ammunition, the topic of artillery weapons, because we should not forget that in this war, 80% of combat tasks are carried out by artillery. thus, we are talking about the need to replenish our resources both in artillery systems and salvo systems, as well as the creation of operational reserves, because without them we can talk about any successful offensives or real offensives. well, in principle, it is impossible to talk about the additional supply of shock weapons, and we are talking about e-e armored vehicles that have

enter our armaments again. for a successful offensive, because the war is not won by defense, and the offensive can only be carried out thanks to the maneuvering actions of the protected infantry, and the protected infantry can only be thanks to the equipment that is transferred to us. well, definitely training of our personnel at training centers and training grounds in western countries in order to master all this equipment in order to master the possibility of using tanks and i see if such a decision is made, it will be made sooner or later. here are the essays concerning of my expectation of rammstein at this meeting, that is, the only question is that it is essential sooner or later . you said it yourself and volodymyr zelenskyi said about it repeatedly that the same tanks are great, but the question is in terms and the same can probably be said about airplanes let me let the ammunition stop i it is not the first time that i have heard from the ukrainian military and from experts that there is a shortage of ammunition in ukraine, and

with this shortage , ukraine has also reached the limit. the situation with ammunition, well, you know, it is not so critical, so i would not dramatize such a situation, because we only received about a million pieces of 155 mm caliber ammunition , a million units. that is, we are the result of such an economical war of economical economical firing, we still have enough of them, but of course we are talking about the creation of operational stocks, which, in my opinion, should be at least another million of such units, eh , we are talking about other ammunition, if we are talking about eh , there would be a shortage in the past, we must realize that we now we are at such a point, i wouldn't say critical , but quite sensitive, when we use two standards of ammunition: soviet and western ammunition, and that's why we need to approach each individual type of ammunition carefully. well

, let's understand that soviet ammunition is actually old stocks that were stored in bases and warehouses not only in ukraine, but also in other countries that were part of the former warsaw bloc. well, these stocks are quite old . it is very difficult to say how effective they are, because the percentage is refused as ammunition was high enough, and we are talking about new ammunition, that is, those ammunition that already constitute nato standards . ukraine has never produced them, and it depends entirely on the supply of these ammunition by our allies and partners, so you know , having such a flimsy basis. of course, we can talk about systemic problems regarding the provision of e-e ammunition to the ukrainian force defense and it is about creating, you know , such production facilities, we have taken the first step, we are now producing mines for

mortars, but this is only the first step and now there is a question about the deployment of our own production of ammunition and a wide range of weapons and military equipment, because we can constantly depend on the political whims of european countries, we have to rely on our own, and here israel is a good example opportunities on our own capacity. unfortunately, we have to understand that in this way we will be forced to give up certain social programs , but when it comes to the protection of people's lives and health and the protection of our territory, we are forced to to do as israel does. what is a good example for us? allow me another personnel question. what do you think for oleksiy reznikov - this is the last meeting with rammstein. where is he as a minister? you know me. i try not to comment on such things. why? because, well, the position of the minister of defense

- this is a political position. he is not even a civil servant , this is the definition, and he represents the political force that governs the country. thus, you know, here you can guess. is this the last or not the last meeting, but the decision is made on at the political level. and here there are a lot of factors that go beyond analysis and competence. how appropriate is it for him to be in office? well, it is up to the political forces that appointed the president there for the first time. the main thing is the president. and what is your general attitude to these initiatives that have already been voiced ? several people's deputies say that during martial law it is possible to ignore the law, change it and appoint a military man to the position of minister of defense. they are categorically against such a game of legislative

initiatives because it undermines the of the very principle of democracy there are laws that should not be changed at the whim of the situation because the situation can be different and you know there is such a very serious indicator as the constitution of the united states and to which amendments are made in two hundred years, as many as 14 amendments have been made and that's all, that is, it is an example of how democratic foundations should be and you know how to change them on a whim, the situation that is developing will be absolutely wrong, on the one hand, on the other hand , you know, we already have quite serious traditions of what the minister of defense is doing well, you know, it’s about issues of provisioning, and he should in no way interfere in the issue of combat planning by the troops , that’s why it became a practice to appoint civilian people who know what they are doing as managers who can organize the processes of provisioning by the armed forces. is a military e-e will have you know such
