, we will talk about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine in the next hour i would like to introduce today's guest - this is petro chernyk , colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, military expert, mr. colonel, good day, good health to you, thank you for joining our program, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. rammstein with the participation of the ministers of defense of the anti-putin coalition , the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov e.e. lloyd austin, the minister of defense of the united states of america has already said that that uh rammstein will help ukraine to go to the counteroffensive in the spring he said this in the opening speech before the start of this uh esteemed gathering we will hear lloyd austin all countries from around the world continue

to increase efforts to consider new solutions together this contact group clearly states that we will support ukraine in its struggle for the future we will help ukraine to move to the counteroffensive in the spring, our unity and our speed of instant editing, we will do everything possible so that ukraine gets what she was promised we are helping the ukrainian armed forces in training in order for them to become more effective on the battlefield and we know how to do it today we met here to coordinate our contributions to ukraine and also to continue to embody our unwavering long-term support for ukraine from all of the world, what else did lloyd austin say on

rammstein? eight countries will deliver the leopard tank to ukraine - these are germany , poland, canada-portugal, spain, norway , denmark, the netherlands, the united states of america, poland and the czech republic will supply additional tanks, the united states of america, germany, the netherlands will supply ukraine with anti-aircraft systems , and several countries will also supply the necessary ammunition . we know and predict how events will develop after this rammstein, in my opinion

, rammstein, first of all, once he can affected an unprecedented not only military and generally diplomatic phenomenon of a global nature , in fact it is nothing more than an anti-putin and, moreover, an anti-russian coalition. countries systemically persistently and comprehensively support ukraine in this civilizational war , the russian-ukrainian civilizational war is emphasized and is a sign that ukraine remains on the main geopolitical radars and no one will leave us alone as an enemy, in my opinion, purely in the military component, this rammstein is finally cementing the so-called tank coalition, it has already been officially announced and significantly strengthens our anti-aircraft defense, especially good news is that finally the italian hutsul concert, which produces very high-quality anti-aircraft complexes sampti with the task of strikes up to 140 km can

intercept even ballistic targets this is incredibly good news somewhere maybe we had too high expectations in the part that concerns aviation but in my opinion the working case, because sooner or later it will appear in our country, i think that the first swallows of this process will be the well-pumped zanatov system with the slovak mig-29 system, as well as the polish mig-29, and this is already a serious step forward, or the prerequisites for counter-offensive operations are definitely being created yes, but you will have to be very careful, because the enemy has also put absolutely everything he could put on the map, and unfortunately, their human potential is still incredibly large, it will have to be ground, mr. colonel, the lack of f16 at

the current stage of the war and in the expected how significantly will the offensive of the russians now affect the course of the war and the offensive of the russians in the east of the roosters? well, i wouldn't say that they are what they are not. aviation is the cavalry of modern times and in fact nothing has changed since that time do we really, really, really need modern aviation unequivocally yes, personally i remained, remain and will remain an ardent supporter of the complex f16 although there are much better machines, let's say f-15 and me it seems that a very serious expert evaluation is going on right now. and what kind of machine should be provided, because in addition to the american complexes, there are also quite good swedish fortresses and german tornadoes and french rafale and mirage and their common euro typhoon and also the eurofighter typhoon and even the south korean

kf-21 how it will turn out with aviation is actually very difficult to predict, but if we go from the opposite point of view that in april it seemed to us that the hummers were fantastic, we received them at the end of august we did not think that the irishmen were fantastic, we received them in october - if i myself had great skepticism about the possibility of 104 patriots, and they are already somewhere on the way to us, at least the training of our crews is definitely taking place, i have no doubt that good aviation will appear, but even the colossal promotion package that was provided in the last month, which is over 1,000 units and this is an unprecedented phenomenon since the second world war - this is a colossal step forward, and the russians are well aware that by the middle of spring, the ukrainian army will have an absolutely different qualitative level than that

they are pressing because they think they can somehow cement the line of demarcation by the current rammstein and actually all the statements that have come out in recent days from the mouths of european leaders are painstaking work, we know that at the end of last year president zelensky visited washington, spoke before the congress and articulated his position last week was recognized volodymyr zelenskyi's european tour. he visited london, paris , brussels, met with british politicians and leaders, the french president, and the prime minister of the federal of the republic of germany with the leaders of the european parliament, but what did he say

and how did he negotiate with the leaders of europe ? understanding each other's position on the issue of modern combat aviation. i thank all our british friends. direction, our negotiations in paris with president macron and chancellor scholz were also a strong meeting, we spoke very frankly with the three of us and it allowed us to find a common understanding about the prospects in this war, i think it will make it much easier to solve defense issues, we have a common vision of the path to victory, so after this european tour, because duda, the president of poland, gave an interview, a great interview, egor, and said

that if the west does not now provide enough weapons to ukraine, there will be big problems, and russia can win, as you do, colonel do you consider this statement? that is, on the eve of rammstein, duda decided to warn everyone that the current rammstein and the current decisions will have consequences not only for ukraine, but for the whole of europe . colleagues in europe, it should definitely be carried out and not stop at this; can the enemy, according to the statement, have any prerequisites for a strategic victory, in my opinion, no, if the russians were to achieve their strategic goals, and the main goal only one to liquidate our statehood, it would have already happened, but the ukrainians have shown such a colossal corporate resistance to the struggle for their own independence, and not only

for their own independence, in general, for all democratic values ​​in the world, that europe has no choice but to help us in the end if we build an alternative analytical structure and in the event that suddenly ukraine capitulates, capitulates what happens next , the appetite definitely comes during the war and the ultimatum on the return of nato to 1997 russia put the poles on is it true that it is the only european nation that has a very good historical memory and remembers the double occupation since the 18th century and in the 20th inclusive and remembers that after ukraine they can definitely become the next target, that is why duda uses otaku here is diplomatic rhetoric, but i personally am full of strategic optimism that sooner or later victory will

inevitably be ours . the russian federation may be on the path to its disintegration , isn't the only truth they tell on their media propaganda platforms that in the event of defeat they may not become an arastaktu, we understand that the enemy is not going to surrender and he has a margin of safety, in fact, there is nothing worse than on a high positive diplomatic tone to throw hats at the enemy and underestimate the potential that he still has, the washington post writes that the united states of america has warned ukraine that a turning point is coming in the war, as the edition of

as the first anniversary of the beginning of russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine approaches , american officials have informed the ukrainian authorities that a critical moment is coming to change the trajectory of the war. it will come this spring when russia is expected to launch an offensive, ukraine will launch a counteroffensive, trying to return lost territories, the washington post writes about the critical character of the next few months has already been directly announced to kyiv by high-ranking biden officials, in particular the deputy national adviser john feiner, the deputy secretary of state in india, sherman and the deputy minister of defense of kolen kal, who visited ukraine in january ; in addition, a week before the visit of these officials, the director of the cia visited ukraine william burns, who shared his data about what russia is planning, when we talk about rammstein and talk about support for the event in

ukraine, there is an absolutely logical question, we know that the numbers announced by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. luzhnyi, obviously raised certain questions in the western countries regarding the feasibility of obtaining 300-400 tanks there, up to 500, as far as i remember, and regarding the receipt of other weapons in exchange for what remains and how powerful russia remains in terms of weapons can you tell mr. colonel because you said that it is uh bad when we underestimate the enemy what the enemy has now why do we have to face the truth i will stand my ground you can't underestimate the enemy, really high-quality weapons, first of all, with regard to the armor package, and most importantly, the tanks and this line that you showed at the beginning of this program is an unprecedented phenomenon, because we

are depleting almost 100% of their potential, which was before the beginning of this war . i will remind you that at the beginning of the russians had regular vehicles in the range of 3,400 units. but at the same time, according to the total stock of armored vehicles, starting from the t-62 pt-76, the floating tank, the predecessor of the bmp-1, and even ending with the t-34, because they can throw them into battle, and here are literally a few a few weeks ago, i received information that 30 machines were returned from laos. well, it’s not just that, and with great fanfare, they refused . an incredible amount, yes, it certainly cannot withstand any competition , say 172 t-80 or t-90, but it is still a weapon, even if you apply the method of cannibalism, that is, 3-4 cars from them make one train, then this is

still a lot, but in view he for what the war still remains an artillery war. and at the beginning of this war, there were five and a half thousand working full-time barrels, out of which we destroyed 2,000. therefore, there are at least 3,000 . i will remind you that the us army at the beginning of this war had up to 1,000 barrels that their military-industrial complex can produce up to 125,000 projectiles per month, of course such firing shafts as there were in the summer up to 60 to six to 80,000 per day for half of me will not be able to put up, but still this is strength and the most important strength i will emphasize for a few weeks in a row bo this is how we see the philosophy of modern combat - this is the life force of kalashnikov assault rifles. the empire produced more than 100 million old mosin rifles, more than 37 million

shimonov self-loading carbines within 15 million, and weapons of the second world war ppsh pps in total 8 million, of course these 8 million and the rest of the millions are not in warehouses however, there are hundreds of thousands and cartridges of revenue, they will definitely give the ttsh-41 a drum magazine for 71 cartridges of mpl-50, what we call a small sapper blade, which was born under putin and is too big for battle, there are no signs that points from below are possible, but yes this must be taken seriously and this colossal human sea will have to be ground together with the more high-quality modern weapons that arrive to us, especially the bmp-2 bradley , i remain their ardent supporter, the better the situation will be regarding the grinding of this gigantic human array, the table is now uh general the secretary of nato is constantly talking about the fact that ukraine needs much

more weapons, that ukraine needs much more weapons, that there may not be as many of these weapons in european countries as does even ukraine need, according to you, do our western partners have enough weapons to oppose what russia has, or is it not a question of quantity, but of the quality of these weapons , that is, european weapons and weapons from our american partners significantly exceed our indicators and the possibilities of russian weapons, which were accumulated there even in the warehouses of the times of the soviet union, is definitely a very valid and good opinion that there are certain problems in terms of quantity, because in terms of quality, i cannot even have a conversation here. i love such a specific example, a conditional volga, the car cannot win a race against a conditional mercedes in any

indicators, all without exception western weapons are a collective mercedes , all without exception soviet or russian weapons are a collective volga for artillery barrels i have already given an example, but i will give one more example specifically and precisely from the artillery at the beginning of this war, the russian federation had a stockpile of shells ranging from 15 to 20 million calibers of 122-152 mm and others. this is an incredible amount. the entire us army had stocks within two with half a million, so that we understand the distance and the scale of the war on the european continent, to be honest, no one expected it, there are still very serious and psychological relapses, first of all, among our european colleagues, it took quite a long time , more than six months, for this to happen. this is the so-called bucharest summit nato, because it is nothing more than a restart of the great conveyor, however, western

weapons are incredibly technological and complex, and there is another very serious moment here, both economic and political and even electoral. plant, let's say from an additional plant there, let's say from the production of artillery installations m 109 paladin was produced there in a certain amount, but after two or three years it stopped and a huge number of thousands of people were fired . of technological weapons , such scenarios are counted decades ahead. and there was enough time for this, plus many nuances, starting with the metal itself, where it is , in what quantity, and how to process it , ending with all guidance systems

aiming and the like, the military industrial complex is the most complex part of the economy, which exists in nature, there are many knots and threads that need to be calculated , so here is this big miscalculation from the bus, we are at the start of a colossal new arms race, and the muscovites will definitely not win it, the question is only when the final turning point of the war will begin when they want to finish when they can never makivel we will hope that rammstein is what the meeting in the rammstein format is currently taking place in brussels will speed up this process on the eve of this conversations in brussels, oleksiy, the various defense commissions of ukraine means that the agenda of the uh-uh that the ministers of defense of the anti-putin coalition will follow, in particular, these are the following points of the defense of the ukrainian sky, in particular , due to the involvement of an aviation platform, obviously we are talking about negotiations on the provision of western aviation to ukraine, the development of a tank coalition , the formation of a stockpile ammunition strength

, training programs for ukrainian soldiers , stability of support for ukraine, issues of logistics, maintenance, repair of equipment , practical implementation of the military schengen e now, mr. colonel, he is in a rather difficult situation, we know that 10 days ago the leader of the servant of the people david arkhamiya faction said that reznikov would be replaced by nabudanov, and now there is information that he offers three deputies and three new deputies for approval by the ministry of defense e.e. , in particular, varshikov wants to dismiss his deputies ivan rusnak and oleg hajduk and to appoint oleksandr pavlyuk , a lieutenant general of the armed forces of ukraine, to the post of first deputy minister

the post of deputy for digital development of the volunteer vitaliy denengu, who is the founder of the fund, come back alive to the post of deputy for european integration of the former ambassador of ukraine to canada andriy shevchenko . change in your own way, taking into account the events that preceded the minister of defense of ukraine, i will be honest in my position. i am not an expert in personnel policy as such, but i do have some experience understanding of global geopolitics, knowing how important this war in general is in a civilizational sense for world democrats and for world tyrants who have challenged ukraine to this world democracy, then i had a modest look at ms. i will emphasize once again that i am not an expert in domestic political science, any global personnel changes at the level the ministry of defense will not affect the course of the russian-ukrainian war, it is important that the dynamics of the front

and all ranks and levels of commanders, led by the commander-in-chief, understand were aware of and knew how to plan the entire mechanics of daily combat operations, this is actually the main thing, because here the combat potential is purely from an institutional point of view, the ministry of defense as a state institution is a body that is called to deal primarily with ensuring the material part of the functioning of the armed forces of ukraine, and it seems to me that without review of which person will hold this position and the level of professionalization of all without exception, that is, the war tripled the quality of intellectual and professional growth of all officials by a large the account does not matter, mr. colonel, i will ask you about belarus, because over the past few months, we have seen how russia conducted joint exercises with the belarusians there

, joint flights of air groups, there were certain movements on the logistical routes of the armed forces of the republic of belarus with the participation of the russians . literally in the last few days several countries have warned the citizens of their countries, in particular , france, canada, and brazil, that belarus is a dangerous country from the point of view of the possible deployment of hostilities in the future , or do these warnings mean why am i asking this because i remember what happened on the eve of february 24, and you also remember when foreign embassies left kyiv and warned citizens of foreign countries about the upcoming war, or whether it is possible to accept the warnings and warnings of the countries of the ministry of foreign affairs of france

canada and brazil that they have some data that belarus will enter the war or at least take part in hostilities as the territory over which russian planes will take off during a possible and expected russian attack on ukraine let 's start, i'll start with a philosophical statement the thinker of rome, cicero, that the closer the collapse of the empire is, the crazier their actions are, and in fact the madness of the russians cannot be underestimated, he always emphasized this. are really ready , that is, our borders have not been strengthened for the moment , our north has been transformed into a kind of mannerheim line, and maybe even a plural line, and

maybe even closer - we are approaching someone else's line at the beginning of this war, we did not have any western-style artillery, we did not have to dream about such systems as the m-142, m240 rocket launcher systems , we did not have full-fledged air cover , 15-20% of the territory of ukraine was protected by them, now the last hall that took place in ukraine we have shown and are showing a stable performance of 86 90%. let me remind you that shooting down airplanes and helicopters with the current air defense system is much easier than shooting down cruise missiles . to really break through the defense in the direction of any operational direction, first of all, as far as kyiv is concerned, a full -fledged corps of 40,000 people is needed for this , 825 tanks, two and a half thousand armored vehicles, up to a thousand artillery pieces are needed, and most importantly , there is no air cover for this,

more or less the ready contingent that the russians and belarusians have in the north at the point of a potential attack on the capital is within 15,000 people, this is a division under the old soviet organization , numerous structures, a little more than this blow can distract the painful school our forces and of course we remember that our soldiers will spend their lives unequivocally like this , but with such a force, what are they counting on? i can't give an adequate and clear answer yet . this is also a very serious feature of their thinking and especially according to anton through siverskyi donets in the spring of last year in one place five times a pontoon per day 800 people died 711 techniques they can resort to such steps which from the point of view common sense is not accepted, but they
