the commander of the armed forces of the united states the americans in europe gave a briefing and explained what exactly is happening at this meeting and what the 54 defense ministers of the so-called anti-putin coalition are talking about. let's hear what lloyd austin said yesterday about the help that the west is currently preparing in response to the russian federation's attack on ukraine, and the members contact -groups decided to provide ukraine with more than 8 combat brigades , strikers and us bradley tanks are also provided, and there is also talk of assistance with challenger tanks and

armored personnel carriers from canada. also, we we are talking about e-e tanks 72 which are already in the process of being delivered from the usa to the netherlands and the czech republic, so poland is joining on the day of these tanks, president zelenskyi, the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine , 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 zelensky said 54 partner states have already met for the ninth time and we have another strong decision to protect our state to strengthen our soldiers confirmed by partners more pfu confirmed more tanks confirmed more artillery shells confirmed more training of our military and if they sounded ukraine masby successful and here we

agree success should be of course not everything about ramstein can be reported publicly a significant part of the agreement and discussion should be left behind closed doors meeting of the contact group but i i can say with confidence that the basic trends remain unchanged. so, mr. general, does rammstein iv solve the issues facing ukraine on the eve of the announced or of the expected offensive of the russians in the east and south of ukraine before rammstein, there were political assessments of the leaders of nato countries, the leadership of the united states, britain, the european union, the main key players and allies of ukraine, it was not clearly determined that the period of decisive battles was coming, russia was to concentrate all its strike forces in the coming weeks , and promising for several months already powerful global operations

to plan therefore today we need to solve urgent problems and the eighth and ninth rammstein and especially yesterday and today the issue will be resolved, those who today provide defense primarily in the bakhmut avdiyiv economic e-e svatokrilinov direction from the zaporizhia direction - this is today number one and repulse the enemy, and the most important thing is to destroy the 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 main resources that he is preparing 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 autumn correctly said that these will be the first priority and the stages of clearly worked out schedules were yesterday today it is very important because to declare and make a decision it is one thing to provide and very quickly operationally this is a completely different situation that is why this

rammstein is really today the determining plan of the implementation of this the delivery and phased delivery of t-72 modernized according to nato standards - this is the first several thousand two or three weeks here, you don't even need to train, we get them right away and go into battle and this is somewhere around 100 e soroka of tanks, it can already be two powerful brigades or 3-4 mechanized brigades together with a tank and others. that is , it is already one fist. there may already be 250, and along with that, it is training and delivery through gu-2-14 - this is the delivery of abrams, which today is also eh and our military personnel are undergoing training, this is already the third stage, but it will be in 3-4 months when we arrive training

betrayal mastering already foreign very such of complex systems of armored vehicles is what today provides both 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 be successfully used in terms of defense to protect personnel and destroy the tactical level of the enemy, but also to destroy tanks, we know that bradleys are tank killers conditionally, therefore, in this situation, this is another system, this is already hundreds, if we are talking about all bmp bdtrs, who made a decision on the previous one and 7 ramstein, it has been 2-2.5 months up to 300 battleships, this is a powerful model, it can be somewhere up to 4-5 brigades reinforced by other means. this is another powerful fist orest with this self-propelled e-e half a year of installation, a number of countries for example, these others even transferred all the self-propelled installations they had e

practically in service the ministry of defense is still about one and a half hundred, these are powerful strike groups that make it possible to strike at a distance of 340 to 50-60 km. for whom is the reserve ? this is also a closed part of the issue that is being resolved today. they strike at 80 km, and this destroys reserves and those that are drawn up beyond 80 50 km . this is the most effective way to destroy troops when they have not yet arrived on the battlefield. strike unexpectedly in dalnaya with combat missiles at a distance of 150 km, i emphasize - this is already practically the format of this closed eh model is that where there is a prospect of destroying it before that, there is panic, they reach the field of wallpaper and those who

are on the battlefield and do not receive resource, you find yourself without reinforcements and without ammunition and without firepower, what remains is either to surrender or to die or to flee, because even the situation is this decisive format today and define it as a priority because it sounded very strong, the planes are very important , but it was strong that the planes were put today, all the more so as 15 16 without training and systematic training , it is several months three six months at least even for experienced pilots. airfields and these planes are not suitable for us, we need them, they are like that, because of its seams, big, like that , the asphalt is laid, smooth, that they accelerate quickly, they look at me, i want to even sit down, that is, the chains need to solve the problems , then there is an alternative, what we are talking about to the politicians today are the countries of eastern europe

members of nato mig-29 and accordingly a decision has already been made to supply several mig-29 squadrons. this will be the first contribution of a number of countries , for example, sweden, britain, france has ordered the delivery of possibly their aircraft to the british the truth is that we have decided that for now we will not, but will study because it is a longer period, and the other one is already ready to train for it more quickly. 3-4-5 months is the second stage of the delivery of aircraft and the third stage that we started training today , even for as long as 15-16, this is the delivery already a high-class american fighter attack aircraft, but it is necessary to use all resources for training and all systems and coordination and communication and management of europe mr. general e fanenson the times reports that the russian federation is pulling aircraft to the borders with ukraine to support the new offensive, as the publication writes, this shows that the russian federation is preparing to throw its planes and helicopters into the war to

support the ground offensive, which , according to western officials, the fear of an air war in ukraine prompted the allies to prioritize the rapid delivery of self-defense systems and artillery munitions , although the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, said yesterday that the united states of america does not see the possibility of a massive air attack by the russian federation, he said that russia en masse did not send its aviation to ukraine, because the air defense of the armed forces was very effective, when we talk about bringing the aviation of the russian federation to the borders of ukraine, we mean not only the territory of russia, which borders the ukrainian border, obviously also on the territory of the republic of belarus we see that over the past few months, the russian aviation , which is based at airfields in belarus

, has been conducting training flights, or can we expect it in the near future? when it is actually planned, but when will this big event take place the attack of the russian federation is predicted, can we expect that the aircraft located at the airfields of the republic of belarus will be involved in attacks on the territory of the country, well , first of all, i wanted to say that according to the assessments of both ukrainian and foreign partners, the development of our partners russia is now on combat duty 350 approximately about 300 aircraft near cows that are ready to be involved in combat situations. i think that they will be used only to strengthen offensive operations in the donetsk and luhansk directions where the enemy cannot achieve results. because putin personally set a task by the 23rd day of the armed forces and the 24th anniversary of the invasion to capture bakhmut and, in fact, go on the offensive throughout the donetsk region and reach

the borders of luhansk as well. - the landing forces of the wagner marines and the formation units that you threw in the units are not solved by grinding them from 650 to 1040 men per day. as our partners said, even 80 850 men per day for 10 days, the division sat down today, today the concentration of aviation and reconners is here to support these offensive operations, to launch some kind of large offensive operation against our state as a whole in the conditions of kyiv, for example, from the position of russia and belarus is extremely realistic in order to consider cooperation. powerful foreign armed forces, this is also manpower, equipment , tanks, an extremely large number of missile systems - they operate only in a complex

, just bomb it like that, it has no effect, but another situation is that today we have a cached model of air defense, which is also of soviet production, tactical level on the battlefield, medium strategic level and strategic level . near the planes and three hundred from the copters, there are already two armies, and in the air, the japanese military of the air armies of russia, this is today , the real result, now there is one more left, and this army is like the last, the last an expansion battle, but today compared to the 24th in other places, we have already received 8 western-style air defense systems, these are pumps, respectively, males, these are airyuses , and today’s system is already arriving in france, italy, powerful ones from spain, and cardinals

from the usa. a huge amount of ammunition , along with the former soviet ones, our modernized ones, accordingly, what we received from eastern europe was still soviet anti-e-e anti-aircraft missile systems, today we already have powerful packages western high-precision weapons that were supposed to shoot down all airplanes, helicopters, russia knows about it, that's why i'm counting when the belarusians won't go, especially lukashenka is now wary of sending large -scale offensive troops or helicopters from his territory, especially about the techniques of catching in this situation more prepares on its bases, sends to the territory of russia over odesa, galicia, zaporizhzhia, those who have prepared , but to give sanction for deployment, even if i don’t even ask him what will happen the conflict is internal than from the other side, lukashenka is ahead if rockets are launched or, for example, an arranged strike

by helicopters , russia will be under direct fire from ukraine, because this is one powerful warning, they are acting on the territory of ukraine constantly as an object. belarus, given the given situation, we have the right to beat them on the territory of belarus, i think there is a chance for large offensive operations, especially with the support of massive air attacks, first of all , helicopters. i think there is no, but on the field the battle where they will today solve the tasks set by putin, the seizure of donetsk, the luhansk region, the advance in the south there, 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 to the state duma, told about the goal they set for the russian - the ukrainian war is called a hybrid war, which has been preparing for many years, well, it means the opponents, whom the russians consider the entire west, the goal of which is to destroy

the russian economy and inflict defeat on the field battle, we will hear lavrov today, and their socialists are preparing against us for long years and years. they are using the global hybrid war as a ram. подобие страны изгой, that is, it is widely believed that everyone around them wants to surround him and destroy russia, well, regarding the second thesis , maybe so, but the fact that everyone is surrounding 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 war against russia and ukraine. moreover , wallace, referring to his data, says that two-thirds of the tanks are 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 do they still have e capabilities and powerful in order to to oppose the anti-putin coalition, which is now many times larger than the anti-hitler coalition, and there are specific acts that are recognized by the un general assembly, and attacks and addresses against ukraine and specific acts of genocide against the ukrainian people are confirmed by specific factors, so

there is no alternative here, what he did not say there everything is delicious component second component what the voice says about the armed forces i think that in this situation if we are talking about personnel and here i am professional somewhere around 80% we destroyed them or velos weapons oce this is what the wagner air force marines also said, but if we are talking about the entire army, the more you mobilized because there are additionally 300 or more thousand, so they are still undergoing training , they are called up, they still have 250,000 approximately, there are some who are undergoing training, who are oriented to the war in for the sake of ukraine , we can only talk about 90 7% of special forces , professional units that had, respectively, experience in combat operations, but if in general it is really still a large army, yes, it is low-quality in in terms of the production of weapons, the equipment is of a low level, but let's say once again about

btm tanks, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail. they still have more than half of what they had on february 24 of last year. today about rehabilitation, repairs on the basis of the military-industrial complex , they do not carry out repairs 24 hours a day, training is carried out from several , one but all combat units are assembled and, according to all indications, they can generate somewhere around 3.5 thousand for new offensive operations тако также for btr bmp up to 5,000, this is another situation, so at the moment i feel that uh, we still have to do a lot of work , but it is important that today, after these rammstein for several months, we also received heavy equipment equipment, and i especially emphasized what he was talking about

all on rammstein. this is an extremely large amount of ammunition for high-precision missiles, shells, more accurate and guided, especially mines, and for ammunition for student weapons, so that we do not count by the bahmut how much is left in my reserves. of offensive operations, having generated all other combat units, again with weapons equipment and e battalions and already breakthrough brigades that are being formed by the ministry of internal affairs in parallel 8 more as we say in 3-4 months we are ready for systematic offensive operations and already even our partners, you chiefs, say it is time to start when the enemy i haven’t pulled up the big reserves yet, today i pulled up only the sectoral reserves, where they are tough, because they are going near the bahmut of avdiivka , ugledara, svatovo-krimin, well, in a different way , it provokes and tightens up the regions a little, but here is the reserve that we we say 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 and, accordingly , grabiv, the hurricane of death of another system, which

today they are rehabilitating, they are preparing ammunition , although there is not much, not high-precision, but they are there if we stretch into the second wave will be more difficult for us. yes, we will win, but it is a protracted period , what putin is counting on to prolong the war , draw up his resources throughout the state, and then wage a war of attrition and exhaust our allies, today it is profitable for us to quickly mobilized and determined the main direction of the strikes, for example, will it be an eastern luhansk strike then on the luhansk region and on the clans of svatov and not only the salad and bakhmut with the broken group or is it the southern direction of the liberated zaporozhye kherson region and the movement on the shoulders of the retreating and panic retreats all the way to the crimea from freely crimea can have such a successful operational historical offensive operation today

is very possible the fate of ukraine and democracy will be decided in the next 3-4 months, when we will violate not only the front, but the liberated territory, 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, it will be our victory and will give the prospect of not only an attack on the regime, but a change in the entire system of global regional security. german defense minister boris estorius in an interview and in the us 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 it will be obvious that the final of this battle will already be decided . well, i will just say that the rhetoric is different, and so is the history of the other ministers who say that only mountains will be provided later and we will not it is relevant, that is, there are just different approaches and even informational messages, but i will directly say that the system works for defense today and 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. the understanding of our command and our allies is also generated. therefore, everything will be parallel to the politicians, we understand that objectively we will not be able

to get them for the period of offensive operations and master it quickly even on that in the direction there are not even such airfields, it is done according to what they say and three to six months is a minimum, and the more the training is coordinated and the like, but there is a substitute for the politicians, it is systems that bring down further, do not respect everything for a long time freely, rockets that hit bodies are no worse than airplanes i agree that we will destroy the risk at a distance of 170 km , everything is normal, this is what planes and strategic and attack aircraft can do, so this one, but this one is mastered quickly, but we already have all the supplies, they need to be supplemented, mastered quickly armored 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 i could receive which i will immediately use in situations and e immediately learn on f16 f15 feed the entire

infrastructure and then use this powerful fist at 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 are starting from those reserves, from those resources that the russian army now possesses. russian federation, in your opinion, will china dare to support or at least help russia in some way , given the prospects of the future prospects of taiwan, and first of all, china, i am dealing with this kind of ass, i have already listened to the position in anticipation of this scheme about some dozen times already she said, a party when two tigers are fighting, he foresees 70 goals for russia and everything well

, of course, with the participation of the championship of ukraine, that's why even some of antoninker's visits were disrupted by the way of launching these different balloons so that there would be a reason not to put the issue of preparing a un resolution on ukraine for china to clearly support the position between no right, clearly define the position that russia seized the territory of ukraine, recognize aggressive actions and jointly take a position not only condemning it, but also forcing it to retreat and , accordingly, clearly foresee all security guarantees, 7 stops, the situation played out, he i calculated that it is necessary early, we still need to decide . and how effectively ukraine is winning and the position today will be so economically and energetically, to cooperate with russia officially , unofficially, it is clear to trade, but half-blooded by all other e-e means that are related to electronics, technology, logistics, with 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 its nuclear rhetoric, on the contrary, condemning it, that is, something like and speaks of such a factor of peace, and on the other hand, you will see how the situation develops, how much nato , for example, the united states, is weakened in this situation, and how much it makes sense to be friends or not to be friends more deeply with by russia, if russia counts, he will win, he will strengthen support, of course, from the nine already a little common anti-west, if russia loses, he understands, he will also seek contacts and communication with the countries of the west , nato and such a union with ukraine, and in the future , because to some extent today, stretching from one the parties must follow the principles of international law which they have always relied on and in practice supported russia and voted either for the russian resolution or abstained therefore in this situation today

will be on february 22 the moment of truth for china agent assembly, how will they assess the situation in ukraine, how will they vote, let's decide who they are for, or they are now to some extent, whether they take such a position, not intervention conditionally, but actually playing against russia , or will they still overpower this format of their global authoritarian interests and any against the aggressor well, i think that they will more or less take a more neutral position in relation to not giving priority to us and nato, of course, not to enter into a conflict with the russian federation, unfortunately, one more topic - this is the topic of the creation of an international special tribunal for russia, as italy considers the killing of a defenseless population to be a war crime, the head of the italian foreign ministry , antonio et al., said this while speaking at the university
