, and they decided to provide ukraine with more than eight combat brigades, as well as strikers and us bradley tanks abramsyn and it is also about help with challenger tanks and armored personnel carriers from canada. we are also talking about t-72 tanks that are trying to be delivered from the usa to the netherlands and the czech republic. poland is joining on the day of these tanks president zelenskyy is the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine and said that not all rammstein agreements can be discussed publicly and the basic trends are unchanged, even more air defense tanks , shells and artillery, let's hear what

zelenskyy said. 54 partner states have already met for the ninth time and we have yet another strong decision. to protect our state to strengthen our soldiers confirmed by partners more ppu confirmed more tanks confirmed more artillery shells confirmed more training of our military and if they sounded ukraine mosbe successful and here we agree that success should be of course not everything about rammstein can be reported publicly, a significant part of the agreement and discussion should be left behind closed doors the meeting of the contact group, but i can say with confidence that the basic trends remain unchanged so, mr. general, does rammstein decide - 9 the issues facing

ukraine on the eve of the announced or expected offensive of the russians in the east and south of ukraine before rammstein were the political assessments of the leaders of nato countries, the leadership of the united states, britain of the european union, the main key players and allies of ukraine clearly decided that a period of decisive battles was coming, russia was to concentrate all its strike forces in the coming weeks. and promising from a few months already more powerful global operations to plan, therefore, today it is necessary to solve urgent problems and the eighth and ninth rammstein and especially yesterday and today the issue will be resolved by those who today provide defense primarily on the bakhmut avdiiv economic e-e of the svatokrilinov direction from zaporizhzhya direction - this is today number one and repel the enemy, namely the voice to destroy such a number and the second component - this is the preparation of foot operations in the coming months 2-3

months when the enemy has not yet pulled up the main reserves and the main resources that he is preparing there on the basis of the urban industrial complex of russia therefore, the main efforts were concentrated on the formation of powerful armored fists, as we say and correctly said autumn that these will be the primary stages of clearly worked out schedules were yesterday today it is very important because to declare and accept the solution is all one thing, but to provide it very quickly and quickly, it is a completely different situation, so this rammstein is really the defining practice plan today, it is the delivery and phased delivery of t-72s modernized according to nato standards - this is the first several thousand. 2-3 weeks here, we don’t even need to teach right away we get them and go to battle. and it is somewhere around 100. forty tanks, it can already be two powerful brigades or 3-4 mechanized brigades together with tanks

and other tanks. that is, it is already one fist. the second part is 1.5-2 months, it is deliveries and training leopards announced about 140, but the perspective in 3-4 months it can already be 250, and along with this, it is training and delivery through g2.14 - this is the delivery of abrams, which today also er, er, our military personnel are undergoing training, this is already the third stage, but it will be in 3-4 months. when we come, the training of the mastering of already foreign, very complex systems of armored vehicles is what today is to provide defense and preparation of the offensive in parallel with this, fast deliveries, acceleration of the same bradley. you are already the mother of those british systems that can not only successfully used in the defense plan to protect the personnel and destroy the tactical level of the enemy, but also to destroy tanks, we know that brandus is a tank killer

conditionally, therefore, in this situation, this is another system, this is already hundreds if we are talking about all the bmp bdtrs that made the decision on the previous and 7 ramstein is already 2-2.5 months up to 300 battleships, it is a powerful model, it can be somewhere up to four or five brigades reinforced by other means. handed over all the self-propelled guns that were in them are practically in service with the ministry of defense, this is still about one and a half hundred, these are powerful strike groups that give the opportunity to strike at a distance of 30-40 to 50-60 km. of long-range missiles, what we have today are cameras and dozens of m2s that hit at 80 km, and this is the destruction of reserves and that are pulled up for 80 50 km. this is

the most effective way to destroy troops when they have not yet arrived on the battlefield yet they arrived weighted go to the train in motorcades moving by other means over land or by number strike unexpectedly in dalnaya with combat missiles at 150 km i emphasize - this is practically the format of this closed e-e model is that where is the prospect of destroying it before that there is a panic they reach the battlefield. and those who are on the battlefield and do not receive resources turn out to be without reinforcements and without ammunition and without firearms. the only thing left is to surrender or die or flee. therefore, the situation is like this the decisive format today and determine as a priority because it sounded very strong planes it is very important but it was strong to put planes today especially as 15 16 without training and systematic training it is several months three six months minimum on

the radio to experienced pilots and if we are talking about new ones all that you politicians are talking about today are the countries of eastern europe that are members of nato mig-29 and, accordingly, a decision has already been made to deploy several mig-29 squadrons. this will be the first contribution of a number of countries, for example, sweden there britain and france have given out the delivery of their planes, perhaps, and the british have decided that we will not for now, but will study because it is a longer period, and the other is already ready to train for it more quickly for 3-4-5 months, this is the second stage of the delivery of planes and the third stage that we started today training even for 15-16 is the supply of already high-class american fighter attack aircraft, but it is necessary to use all resources for training and all systems and coordination and communications is the management of the general e fenenchel times

reports that the russian federation is pulling planes to the borders with ukraine to support a new offensive, as the publication writes, and this indicates that the russian federation is preparing to throw its helicopters into the war to support the ground offensive, which, according to western officials, is suffocating fear before the air war in ukraine , he encouraged the allies to prioritize the rapid delivery of anti-aircraft systems and artillery ammunition, although the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin , said yesterday that the united states of america would not they see opportunities for a massive air attack from the russian federation, the guest also said that russia did not send its aviation to ukraine en masse, because the air defense of the armed forces was very effective, when we talk about bringing the air force of the russian federation to the borders of ukraine, we mean not only on the territory in russia, which borders the ukrainian border, it is obvious to us and on the territory of the republic of belarus that over the past

few months, russian aviation based on airfields in belarus conducts training e-e flights or e-e can be expected in the near future when actually planned but when will this big offensive of the russian federation take place is it predicted e-e can it be expected that the aircraft located at the airfields of the republic of belarus will be involved in e-e attacks on the territory of ukraine to say that according to the estimates of ukrainian and foreign development and our partners russia, i am currently on combat duty with approximately 350 aircraft, about 300 near copters that are ready to be used in combat situations. i think that they will be used only to strengthen offensive operations to and in the luhansk direction where the enemy cannot achieve results. because putin

has personally set himself the task of capturing bakhmut by the 23rd armed forces day and the 24th anniversary of the invasion, and actually go on the offensive across the entire donetsk region and go to the borders of luhansk are also not fulfilled, the final task is not fulfilled, it is necessary to draw up new reserves , then you solve the issues at the expense of professional units of the airborne troops from the marines of the wagnerites and combat troops the parts that you threw at the parts are not solved by grinding them down from 650 to 1040 people a day. as our partners said, even 80-850 people a day for 10 days, the division sat down. today, the concentration of aviation and copters is here to support these offensive operations, to deploy some kind of large offensive an operation against our country as a whole in the conditions of kyiv , for example, from the position of russia or belarus , is extremely realistic in order to consider the information. there must be powerful foreign

armed forces, this is manpower, equipment, tanks there is an extremely large number of missile systems - they operate only in a complex, simply bombing it has no effect, but another situation we have today is that the main model of air defense is also of soviet production, tactical level on the battlefield, medium strategic level, from the strategic level today we capture not only ballistic missiles, we shoot down and, for example , martyrs there are other aircraft, but powerfully focused on aviation, today you destroyed about 300 aircraft and three hundred from copters already two armies and in the air the japanese of the air forces of russia, this is today the real result, now there is one more army left, this is already the last last decisive battle, but today, on par with the 24th , it

is a different place. sanctions, and uh, air raids, today, the system is already coming to france, italy, a powerful one from spain , from the united states, and a huge amount of ammunition, along with the former soviet ones , our modernized ones, respectively, what we received from eastern europe, the former soviet against e-e missile complexes of anti-aircraft systems, today we already have a powerful package of western high-precision weapons that were to shoot down these airplanes and helicopters . russia knows about it, so i think that from the position of belarus it will not go, especially lukashenko is now wary of sending from his territory large- scale some offensive troops or helicopters, the more about the techniques from catching in this situation, preparing more at its bases and sending them to the territory of russia, to the donetsk region of galicia, zaporizhzhia and to prepared, but to give a sanction for the deployment, even if you don’t even ask him whether the conflict will be internal and

on the other hand, lukashenka is ahead, if missiles are released or, for example, a massive airstrike , a large number of aircraft, russia will be under the direct fire of ukraine, because this is one powerful warning , they act then already on the territory of ukraine , this terrorism is constantly an object, and on the part of russia it will also be the bloc of belarus, therefore, in this situation, we have the right to beat them on the territory of belarus , a chance, i think, for large offensive operations, especially with the support of massive air strikes, primarily helicopters, i think that there are no, but on the battlefield today, where they will solve the tasks set by putin, the capture of donetsk , the luhansk axis, the advance in the south, i think that they will use it and we will be ready for it today, mr. general , the head of the russian foreign ministry, sergey lavrov, spoke in the state duma, told about the goal they set in the russian-ukrainian war , he says that the hybrid war has been prepared for many years, well

, he means the opponents, which are the russians the entire west believes that the goal is to destroy the russian economy, inflict defeat on the battlefield, we will hear lavrov's hybrid war is being used as a battering ram by ukrainian national radicals, the purpose of the war is not hidden , not only will it defeat our country on the battlefield, it will destroy the russian economy, but it will also surround us with a sanitary cardan and turn it into some kind of country an outcast , that is, it is believed that everyone around them wants to surround him and destroy russia, well, regarding the second thesis , maybe so, but the fact that everyone surrounds them there

, well, this is a complete ordinary delusion, but the minister of the defense of great britain, ben wallace says that russia has now brought 97% of its entire army to the territory of ukraine, and it is these 97% that are now on the territory of the ukrainian state , waging a russian-ukrainian war. moreover , wallace, referring to his data, says that two-thirds of the tanks they have already lost or they burned or broke on the field or they were broken on the field of battle on your e-e hm considering that russia is a large resource country and in terms of weapons in relation to people how much they still have opportunities and powerful in order to to confront the anti-putin coalition, which is already many times larger than the anti-hitler coalition. and there are specific acts

that are recognized by genot and the attack as a reality against ukraine and specific acts of genocide against the ukrainian people are supported by specific facts, so there is no alternative here, what he didn’t say there it’s all delicious the first component the second component is what the voice says about the armed forces i think that in this situation if we are talking about the personnel and how professional it is , we destroyed about 80% of them or the weapons wheel is something the airborne santiiv marine corps of the wagnerians also spoke about this further, but if we are talking about the entire army, the more they mobilized for you, that in addition there are 300 or more thousand, so they are still undergoing training, they are armed , they still had about 250 thousand, there are approximately 250 thousand who are undergoing training, who are approximately for the war in ukraine then we can talk about 90 7% of the early days, we can only talk about the special units of the professional unit that had, respectively , combat operations, but if in general it is really still

a large army, yes, it is of low quality in terms of training, weapons and equipment of a low level, but let's say once again about bdm tanks, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail. they still have more than half of what they had on february 24th of last year, so if we say we destroyed about 300 there, 300 tanks are still there today about rehabilitation, repairs on the basis of the military-industrial complex, they are not carried out 24/7, repairs, training are collected from several, but all combat units are collected , and according to all indications, somewhere at 3.5 thousand, they can generate for new offensive operations, for sure, even for armored personnel carriers, up to 5,000, this is still one situation is why at the moment i feel that uh , we still have to do a lot of work, but it is important that today, after all the rammsteins, in a few months, we

also received heavy weapons and equipment, and i especially emphasized what everyone was talking about at rammstein. this is an extremely large amount of ammunition high-precision rockets, projectiles, linear, precisely guided , especially mines, and for ammunition for student weapons, so that we do not count at the bahmut how much is still left in my reserve. operations, having generated all other combat units, again with weapons equipment and e battalions and breakthrough brigades, which the ministry of internal affairs is forming in parallel, another 8, as we say, in 3-4 months , we are ready for systematic offensive operations and already even our partners, you chiefs , say it's time to start when the enemy is still did not pull up the large reserves today pulled up only the sectoral reserves where hard fruits eat near the bahmut, avdiivka , ughledara, svatovo-krimin, well, in a different way

, you are provoking a few regions, pulling up, but those are the reserves that we we say that there are 200-250 in the bodies that are being prepared, maybe more than a thousand and several thousand tanks , maybe 4-5 thousand batteries, respectively, and i am grading the hurricane of death of other systems that today they are rehabilitating, they are preparing ammunition , although there is not much, not highly accurate, but they are there if we go into the second it will be given to you, we will win, but it will be a long period for which putin plans to drag out the war , draw up his resources throughout the country, and then wage a war of attrition and exhaust our allies. strikes, for example, will everything be the eastern luhansk strike then on the luhansk region and on the flanks of svatov and not only svati and bakhmut with the broken group or is it the southern direction of the liberated zaporizhia kherson region and the movement on the shoulders of the retreating and panic retreats all the way to the crimea from the free crimea can be like this a successful operational historical offensive operation

is very possible today. why did everyone unite like a politician in the format of nato and the european union and the format of informal communication because the fate of ukraine and democracy can be decided the next 3-4 months, when we will break not only the front and liberated territories, and putin's regime will fall, this is a very important topic and if we work out such effective terms, when the enemy has not yet grouped other additional forces, this will be our victory and will give the prospect of not only an attack on the regime, but change of the entire system of global regional security german defense minister boris pistorius in an interview and the united states reported that fighter jets for ukraine may arrive in 3-4 months now it is necessary to strengthen ukrainian air defense if the sky over ukraine will be safe in the next 3-4 months tells the story, then it will be possible

to talk about all further steps only this makes sense what do you think, mr. generals, do ukraine have these 3-4 months in order to get these planes or the next 3-4 months will be decisive in the russian-ukrainian war, at least in this period, when the final of this battle will obviously be decided . well, i'll just say that the rhetoric is different, and the history and the other ministers who say that they will provide later but let's not be topical that is, there are just different approaches and even informational messages, but i will directly say that the system works for defense today and for offensive operations, all the means that are discussed from the right to start offensive operations in the spring, the beginning of summer and liberate the territory. this is the first strategic approach. and the understanding of our command and our

allies is therefore, everything will be a seed for everything in parallel with the politicians, we understand that objectively we will not be able to get them master it during the period of offensive operations quickly, even in that direction there are still no such airfields, it is done according to what they say and three to six months at least , and the more the training is coordinated and the like , but there is a substitute for politicians, it is systems that shoot down more and take all the long-released missiles that hit bodies it's not worse than airplanes. i agree that we will destroy the risk of the church at a distance of 50,100,170 km . everything is fine. it is necessary to supplement quickly master broetank fists to receive and form this is what we say and 1.5-2.5 places here it is already real everyone has left the real today parallel politics i say receive could

immediately use in my situations and e immediately learn on f16 f15 to feed the entire infrastructure and then use this powerful fist in the second stage , mr. general, another important component in this war is participation or assistance, probable help to the russians to the chinese, because it is clear that we proceed from those reserves from those resources which now the russian army and the russian federation are in possession, according to your opinion, will china dare to support or at least help russia in some way, considering the prospects , the future prospects of taiwan, and first of all, china, i am engaged in this tune with a dull eye

she has already said something dozens of times , the party when two tigers are fighting , it foresees 72 even the goals of russia and by car. the launching of these various balloons so that there would be an excuse not to raise the issue of preparing a un resolution regarding ukraine. for china to clearly support the position between no right, to clearly define the position that russia seized the territory of ukraine, to recognize the aggressive actions and jointly take a position not only to condemn it, but to force it to retreat and , accordingly, clearly foresee all security guarantees and syncipins, he played the situation, he calculated that it is necessary early, it is still necessary to decide . and how effectively ukraine is winning and the position today will be so economically

energy cooperation with russia, officially and unofficially, it is clear to trade, but not full-blooded, in all other e-e means related to electronics, technology , logistics, some materials, this is what should work for the ministry of defense of russia, not directly, but indirectly, supporting the ministry of defense of russia, but not providing weapons not supporting his nuclear rhetoric , on the contrary, condemning it. in other words, it seems that words are such a factor in peace, and on the other hand, you will see how the situation develops, how much nato, for example, the united states, would be weakened in this situation and to what extent does it make sense to be friends or to be friends more deeply with russia, if russia is counting on winning, it will strengthen support , of course, from the nine already a little bit of a common anti-west, if russia loses, it is understood. he will also seek contacts and communication with the countries of the west, nato and such a union with ukraine has a perspective because, to some extent , today's expansion, on the one hand, must follow the principles of international law, on which they have always relied, and in practice

supported russia and voted either for russian isolation or abstained from it in given the situation today, there will be a moment of truth for china on february 22. how will they assess the situation in ukraine ? how will they vote? will they still overpower this format of their global authoritarian interests and will be against the aggressor? well, i think that they will more or less take a more neutral position in relation to not giving preference to us and nato it is clear not to enter into a conflict with the russian
