[000:00:00;00] the rest can be different. and you know, there is such a very serious indicator as the constitution of the united states, which has been amended for two hundred years, as many as 14 were amended, and that's all, that is, it is an example of how democratic foundations should be and, you know, changing them on a whim, the situation that develops will be absolutely wrong, on the one hand , on the other hand, you know, we already have quite serious traditions that the minister of defense deals with , you know, security issues and he should not interfere in the matter in any way combat planning by the military, therefore, it became a practice to appoint civilian people who know what they are doing as managers who can organize the processes of providing the armed forces. this alone, i can hardly imagine that a person who is a military person would have to know such

desires, perhaps under the concomitant desire to interfere in the case of the military leadership, because it is categorically against such a change in our legislation, this ukraine was on radio svoboda well, in the end, i once again urge you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda in on the internet, like this broadcast and see you tomorrow this was me before, bleeding gums, inflammation of the gums, and the solution was so simple gum problems lacalut active lacalut active actively overcomes bleeding gums, protects against periodontitis and visibly tightens clear lacalut active action

stopface.org.ua is spotlight ukraine ukrainian version further more russian troops have stepped up their offensive on all areas of the front and are attacking from five directions at once. he is trying to take the initiative before ukraine receives new weapons from its partners. the next few weeks

will be decisive in russia's war against ukraine. declares that by february 24, the anniversary of the russian full-scale invasion, the occupiers will launch the biggest offensive of this war. this is exactly what the city of bakhmut sounds like. this hell is still without water, light and gas . more than 6,000 civilians, including almost 200 children, must be safe. our young people are dying home. well, if it ’s possible to build a house, it’s not. the most important thing is that the young people are dying to surround bakhmut

. the occupiers have abandoned all forces. the ministry of defense of ukraine says that the russians probably received fire. control over the two main routes to the city to sloviansk and pokrovsk kostyantynivka earlier the wagnerians with a high probability seized the road connecting bakhmut and siverskiy, the ministry of defense of great britain informs us that we continue to use these routes despite the risks of shelling, but in addition to these routes there is another route which repulsed by the time of yara, the smell of a mutant, there is another line of defense that starts from the time of yara kostyantynivka and further on, this line of defense is on the rise. actually, i think that the enemy’s advance is several kilometers more territory will actually be associated for them with an even greater number of losses than those they suffered when they tried to capture bakhmut and when captured by soledar, the enemy is now carrying out active attacks in five directions kupyansk

svatov criminal this is about bakhmut e-e ugledar and those around donetsk, in fact, all these directions, now the enemy is trying to feel and find weak lines in our defense , the ministers expect one thing in february, well, this is simply from the point of view of symbolism, it is illogical from the point of view of the military, because they are not ready yet resources, but they do it, and the american institute for the study of war agrees with the assessment that the russian military command may be in a hurry to launch a large-scale offensive operation with the capture of the donetsk region in unrealistic terms and probably with insufficient combat power

. yacheslav shapovalov and director of the procurement department bohdan khmelnytskyi, who were responsible for this area, lost their positions and received suspicion oleksandr liev, the head of the department of military and technical policy, was also dismissed for illegal actions, and the chair was shaken under the minister of defense, but the main interlocutor in rammstein and for now they decided not to change him. in february, the ninth meeting of the contact group will take place, at which ukraine expects to receive the aviation necessary for a counteroffensive . considering it more correct that certain comments should also come from the president's office, the question is to punish the guilty , but also to make it impossible for this shadow, shall we say , the shadow economy that is around today war revolves around procurement, i.e. review again, let's say the mechanisms there, i know that it's already there today, certain proposals are being made and the creation

of a television council to the ministry of defense from among public figures, it should be a little wider dialogue with the political leadership of the state than just with the ministry of defense of ukraine by appointment, there is no reason to talk about a decrease in support from other partners denmark, germany and the netherlands recently issued a joint statement that in the coming months they will provide ukraine with 100 leopard tanks one and the swedish parliament supported the allocation of a military aid package worth 400 million dollars robert person professor of international relations at the united states military academy westpoint in contact spotlight ukraine greetings good evening greetings so my first question will be the following russia will most likely launch a new offensive

before tanks will arrive in ukraine, what can happen in this case, do the russian armed forces have any chances to achieve their strategic goals, i really think that russia has a chance to achieve some strategic goals the goals are really very low and we understand how russia is waging war in ukraine, and then its military, in fact, they do not value human life, they throw a lot of soldiers into the furnace of war, wave after wave of mobilizations are also involved, people who are actually poorly equipped, poorly prepared, and the remnants of the bannermen are thrown on certain positions, this is not what can be called an effective way of waging war, so i do not think that russia

will be able to achieve any territorial victories or strategic victories, of course such an offensive operation will be very financially significant for russia and it is not profitable . western tanks are arriving in ukraine, they will be here soon. but will their number be sufficient for an effective counteroffensive ? it is important, but of course whether it will be enough depends to a certain extent on what you mean. by the word enough, when this heavy weaponry arrives , we hope that russia and ukraine will be able

to effectively defend themselves and advance on deo buying for ukraine is critical, this kind of help is critical, and at the same time we have to be realistic that the number of tanks arriving, of course, does not speak publicly about the tanks that will be provided by the usa and other european countries. i think that ukraine will need more, but they will not be enough anyway, the number is very important in order for ukraine to be able to go into the counteroffensive and therefore this is the case when any help is very important when talking about tanks about challengers about abrams from the usa can we somehow compare these tanks or are they better than russian tanks of course they are better when we talk about technical characteristics yes they are of a new model they

have a lot of power their armor is stronger and of course so using such tanks there is a greater chance to survive in battle they are also more accurate it is also critically faster and the range and radius of their action is greater, in particular when we are talking about abrams and leopards and also comparing with russian tanks, they are much faster, they are better combat vehicles and i will really already feel this difference when they will be used on the battlefield in ukraine, in particular when it comes to a counterattack and in particular to counter the offensive of the current offensive of russia, and this will be a very big plus for military prisoners, speaking of tanks. we also have to consider the fact that there must be some kind of completely new

infrastructure and logistics that had would be built from scratch, is this a problem? there is already an interesting question and indeed this is one of the fears that exists in the biden administration and the allies when they touched on the issue of providing tanks, in particular when we talk about abrams tanks, because they are one of the most modern combat vehicles , the most modern tanks in the world, and of course they need logistical support, proper equipment and care for them, and of course the training of the military who will use them , that is, all these points must be taken into account and the time necessary for all this put into practice and in fact we understand that the time must come to already see tanks on the field of pain, this

is not only about delivery, it is also about support, about the infrastructural aspect , of course when we talk about spare parts and about repairs. this is also important. so, let's move on to f16 military aircraft. do you think that the usa will provide such military aircraft to ukraine, and in particular, we see that president biding is now somehow dragging his feet without giving these fighters. and this is a great question, really, i can say that today i i share with you my personal opinion, i do not support any position of the government, but i can say that within the framework of this conflict, of course, the biden administration is worried about the risks of escalation of relations with russia or

a direct armed conflict with the usa and russia, they, russia, and the united states understand that, in principle, there is a possibility of a nuclear conflict, and that is why this is one of the reasons why there is such a delay in time, the moments are related to the fact that if e-e fighters are sent, it can really lead to some kind of aggravation the conflict will cause a certain counter-action from russia and that is why they are so slowly increasing the number of weapons that they send, is it beatings or for some retaliation and despite this we see what has already been provided to ukraine but when we talk about the f16 unfortunately there are still no concrete solutions we hope that in the future they will agree and ukraine will receive these fighters, but we can only predict

, because we have seen that before, that there were certain doubts about sending even javelins to ukraine earlier, but still they ended up on the battlefield in ukraine, so yes the process is complicated and it takes time. but i believe that everything is possible despite all the fears of the biden administration, even if the escalation of the conflict a few weeks ago , putin said that if the west gives ukraine new tanks, there may be certain moments escalation on the part of russia, but nothing happened. then, we have already heard a lot of different threats from him against ukraine, against the west , against nato, so we understand that he is, in a certain sense, that he is blocking. yes, it is possible that this is a kind of

blackmail and we are already used to it even now he has a tendency to talk about retaliation than about some offensive action, but when he takes revenge on the ukrainians against the ukrainian armed forces , and of course we see that this war is a very big tragedy, but he directly does it, especially when we are not some acts of retaliation, in particular when it comes to the usa, but if the usa were dragged into the war, of course he would lose , but if he can push, for example , the nuclear weapon button to retaliate , what will happen, i don't think he can do it, yes, he can make threats, but he he won't do it, he knows that if he does it, the end of his rule will come, the end of russia, so again, my personal

opinion is that the ukrainian leadership , president zelenskyi, his advisers, so they closely observe everything that is happening around them, and they clearly understand what exactly is the weapons they are asking for are extremely critical for ukraine in order to resist without saving human life without saving cities personal prediction er how and when will the russian-ukrainian war end er idol vision is actually determined to continue it as much as possible, and ukraine is determined to completely expel the russians from its sovereign territory, and we understand that

both the cyber sphere and the political sphere are involved in this war. therefore, now i want to say that it will be a very long protracted battle, but the armed forces ukraine will still win in the end because they have the right to bring peace to their country, will the west continue to support ukraine until putin dies or because it will be necessary as long as it is necessary, i believe it and i think actually speaking, in berlin, they understand that it is not only about the struggle of ukraine, it is something much bigger, much larger, and indeed ukraine is now fighting against the aggressor of the world, it is

the defense of its sovereign sovereignty and freedom not only for ukraine, but also for the whole of europe . accordingly, ukraine now does not simply give a strong aggressor the opportunity to rewrite the borders, redraw the borders with force . our struggle and that's why we must and have and want to help ukraine thank you mr. robert for your interview and robert was with us a lot. robert was the first to say that ukraine is allegedly threatening russia with a nuclear attack, and the ukrainian officials are again oppressing the rights of russian speakers and about other fake occupiers, see further in our joint story

together with stop fake.org.ua here and the russian-speaking population in ukraine was spread by the russian media , is it the minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation lavrov they have some kind of ombudsman, it turns out state language, i don't remember his last name, he took the initiative literally yesterday and the day before yesterday to ban personal communication in russian, i.e. here is a man and his wife drinking tea together in the kitchen and some snitch can demand to start on them there are good prospects for a criminal case at the top of this regime, there is no oppression of russian speakers in ukraine, and there is no criminal prosecution of those who communicate in russian in everyday life. the law on ensuring the functioning of the ukrainian language as a state , adopted by the verkhovna rada in april 2019 , does not prohibit the use of any convenient

language in personal communication, this law regulates the functioning and use of the ukrainian language as the state language in the spheres of public life defined by this law throughout the territory of ukraine, the effect of this law is not extends to the sphere of private communication and the performance of religious rites zelensky calls for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on russia such fake publications were widely distributed in the french segment of facebook , twitter, telegram and youtube as alleged evidence , users cited part of zelensky's online speech at the australian lowry institute in october, what should nato do to prevent the use of nuclear weapons by russia, but what is important. i once again appeal to the international community as it was before the 24th

preventive strikes so that they know what is wrong with them it will be if they use it instead of waiting for nuclear strikes on russia, what will you say then? well, keep it from us. in fact, the president did not call for a nuclear strike on russia . zelenskyi's press secretary, serhiy nikiforov , later explained the words of the head of state. the president spoke about the period until february 24. it was necessary to apply preventive measures in order not to allow russia to unleash a free some french accounts in social networks began to spread the manipulation, however. most of such posts on both facebook and twitter accompanied by the identical text ukraine exports black soil abroad together with the remains of red army soldiers russian president vladimir putin said that ukraine allegedly sold and is engaged in selling the fertile layer of the earth abroad he said this during

a meeting with representatives of the youth military organization young army in honor of the 80th anniversary of stalingrad battle , putin came to this conclusion after the story of a participant of the event about a german farmer who allegedly found in his garden a red medal of an army soldier who died in 1944 on the territory of ukraine, the medal allegedly got to germany as a result of the sale of ukrainian land, i cannot imagine that land is sold with human remains, it just does not fit in my head, but there is one more circumstance that i immediately drew attention to. medal , a russian newspaper contacted oleks, who in 2021 appeared to have found the medal on a german farm, and an employee of a waste processing

company on a pile of waste told stories about the alleged export of ukrainian chernozems by the nazis during the occupation is nothing but a soviet historical myth about the second world war, all to show the german occupation regime as particularly cruel ruslan denichenko , executive director of stopfeyk.org.ua, our partners are in direct contact with us, this is spotlight ukraine ukrainian version greetings , mr. ruslane greetings, man saw the plot and at first glance it seems that the topics raised by russian propaganda this week are not connected with each other, nevertheless i am sure that there is some logic in this there is logic, we do not forget that this week the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy is making a foreign visit to great britain, france and brussels, and he went

, and of course the real intention of russian propaganda and the kremlin was to spoil the background of this visit so that europe and america would talk about that ukrainians tolerate nazism, that fascism is flourishing here , and about the fact that russian-speakers are forbidden to speak a peculiar language here. nuclear weapons about nuclear threats and about the fact that if the west continues to provide ukraine with weapons , it will lead to an escalation and, in accordance with the third world war, to an exchange of nuclear strikes, that is, russian propaganda wants to scare the common man in europe , who of course does not want a nuclear war, does not want

a third world war and in order to push people to think well, maybe let's let ukraine cede the territories let's let ukraine capitulate uh let's let putin calm down and maybe everything will somehow settle down there this is the real goal of these of stories that were promoted by russian propaganda this week. how successful do you consider this activity and the creation of fakes this week, does it work for the western columnist, or do they do it to a greater extent specifically for the internal consumer within the russian federation? of course, if it didn't work at all, then moscow and the kremlin they would have already thrown away this machine, which they have been investing billions of dollars in for many years. this rhetoric affects the oppressors and those who are inclined to think that if russia makes any concessions to the kremlin, then putin

he will stop that he will not go further and what is this ukraine for us, that is, there are such people in europe and there are such people in america but again , fortunately for us and the ukrainian leadership and ukrainian non-governmental organizations, activists are working to neutralize these efforts of russian propaganda in order to show that what russian propaganda tells is a false lie of manipulation and in fact the kremlin does not need to make any concessions because it will not lead to de-escalation and it will lead to the defeat of ukraine and to new defeats both in europe and in the world, why am i asking because literally a month ago a sociological study was conducted in germany and the results are a bit shocking due to the fact that almost 60% of the surveyed germans said that they were in favor of the earliest possible cessation of hostilities between russia and ukraine, and even if

ukraine has to make concessions, it means to some extent that propaganda still works , you can draw a target audience for whom russian propaganda works in germany , france and the united states and in general throughout the west well, of course german in germany and in france and in europe and russian propaganda tries to influence those who go to vote on the voters, so they are also convinced that price increases are inflation, so that tariffs are high, gas prices are high, fuel prices are high because ukraine does not surrender, because the governments of britain, the european union , because they help ukraine and if all this and all this support will stop , the conflict will stop, putin will no longer attack and , accordingly, everything will normalize, that is, they
