on what is happening in munich no let's skip this topic and we'll start this is a marathon, the only news is the channel, we are ukraine , and in the studio olena, dude kostyantyn lenchevskii, of course , our viewers, who we are grateful for your trust and for the fact that you continue with us at this late hour our work, the channel, we are ukraine, the whole team is behind us. so, what will we talk about, of course, about weapons, about the war and what happened in munich, to provide aircraft to ukraine , the head of the foreign ministry, dmytro kuleba, called on the allies during a speech at the munich security conference , he recalled how western countries doubted however, ukraine persevered, the minister urged to listen to the world politics conference . a full-scale invasion of despite the fact that the main goal of this conference is the discussion british prime minister rishi suma announced a new decision on ukraine

great britain will be the first of all countries to provide us with long-range weapons every day the russian troops are causing more pain and suffering so the only way is to change it to let ukraine win that is why the united kingdom will be the first country to provide long-range weapons to ukraine and that is why we are working with our allies to provide ukraine with the most advanced air defense systems and to build the air force they need to protect their country, to urgently send all available western-style battle tanks to ukraine , german chancellor olafsholt addressed the world during the munich security conference and promised that feren will do everything to facilitate

this procedure for partner countries. we do well if we carefully weigh all the consequences of our actions and consult closely on all important steps between allies because this is a war near us in europe a dangerous war all those who can send battle tanks to ukraine should do so, the minister of defense, history, and the minister of foreign affairs berbok and i personally call for this. germany will do everything in its power to make these decisions easier for partners, for example by training ukrainian soldiers to drive tanks here in germany or by providing support from the point of view of supplies and logistics, russia is on course for a terrible defeat due to putin's policy regarding the war in ukraine , us secretary of state anthony blinken stated this amount the number of russians killed on the battlefield is impressive, and the fact that millions of russian citizens are leaving their country, we do not want to be

part of the aggressive policy of dictator putin , look at what happened, what putin did to his own country, now we have public data about 200,000 russian victims in ukraine, think about this is for a minute, in less than a year, we have more than a million russians who left their country because they do not want to be part of this war, the actions of the russian army in ukraine are crimes against humanity , the vice president of the united states of america said on the haris channel and stressed all those who commit crimes in ukraine and their russian leaders will be brought to justice today a year later we know that kyiv is still standing your pasha is weekend russia is weakened the transatlantic alliance is stronger than ever the united states has officially

determined that russia has committed crimes against humanity and i say to all those who committed these crimes and their leaders who are complicit in these crimes that you will be prosecuted with agent human about what happened at this conference, what were the main messages sent to ukraine we will to understand further and help us in this bohdan ferenc candidate of political sciences international expert mr. bohdane dobrynovicha congratulations, congratulations mr. bohdane on this meeting of the munich conference . you understood what he was like what our partners told us for myself i understood that this is a really significant conference because it is not similar to all the previous uh, the munich

conference uh, why is it not similar because indeed, not only because russia was not represented there, all previous rubbers at different levels russia was represented, but also because in principle the statements of the key partners of the western european union in the context of supporting ukraine, which support should be really stable , effective and timely, as well as the possibility if reorientations in the context of global processes, what will the future be directly from that perspective, which means how safely we should assess the risks associated with russian aggression. therefore, in addition to such debatable

platforms, there was an opportunity to discuss many issues, and let's hope that definitely, in addition to statements, in the near future, ukraine will already receive the maximum armament that we need and, in addition, support that will weaken russia on the international arena, because in addition to western partners, it is necessary to work with other countries of the world for that so that the isolation of the aggressor state is maximal and in this way it will be possible to talk about an even greater effect, for example, the effect of the consolidated position of the leading democratic countries in the world mr. bohdan, of course. we cannot help but recall last year's statement by the president of ukraine at the munich conference, when he appealed to the west for help in connection with a possible large -scale invasion of russia in ukraine, then the west remained deaf to this statement or

there has been a certain qualitative shift this year, does the west hear us now, i will say yes, the west sees, it only hears, it also sees war crimes, it sees the brutal war and its consequences, and it also feels these results on yourself, that is, you don’t need only uh yes to evaluate there uh unfortunately, the loss of ukraine , but also the europeans first of all they also care about their security, especially the countries that are in nato , whose neighbors are the aggressor state of russia, so they also feel this the danger that grows every day . and in addition to supporting ukraine

, they are reevaluating their internal security policy, how to avoid those miscalculations, those mistakes that were made. many political leaders still admitted their mistakes, it is very important to analyze and draw appropriate conclusions in order not to repeat certain mistakes in the future , if possible a year ago in munich, our western partners were more, let's say, bold in some decisions, for example yes and timely and possible. for russia, this is a full-scale invasion. it would not have happened either in such a volume, on such a scale, or at all, but history does not know if either or or otherwise. all in order to counteract the possible next actions of the aggressor state, especially in those two months, february and march, the month of standing and allowing our territories to be occupied, and

two months are not easy, although the previous months were also not easy for ukraine, about the speed of decisions that will be made based on the results of the munich conference, when will we finally get the planes, if we do, and was this site exactly the site where this issue, as you say, could be discussed on the sidelines, you know, the munich conference - this is not a platform where decisions will really be made, this is more of a platform for communicating those decisions that were previously agreed upon and we have heard some statements, for example, from the prime minister of great britain about the provision of long-range weapons, but on the other hand, i am sure that, again, this was agreed upon at least with washington, berlin, and paris, that is, communication takes place before and in munich directly, there is an opportunity only

to compare and discuss at a more expert level about the architecture of this security which which will be yes after the end of the russian-ukrainian war therefore, the decision is made as a rule, there is a rammstein format of bilateral multilateral negotiations, sometimes behind the scenes and on such platforms as books, the munich conference balance positions, communicate and determine around which issues our partners will move further, and nevertheless i will continue the topic which was raised by olena about weapons, literally in the evening in the news, we read the statement of the president of the european commission, hutsula von deryan, she says that the european union is urgently studying the possibilities for its member states to unite for the purchase of ammunition to help ukraine, the issue of ammunition is now no less sensitive for us than

the issue of airplanes. please tell me that such a decision will be discussed on monday. such a decision on the joint purchase of ammunition for ukraine. i think it is more of a technical decision, that is, it hardly really needs a consolidated position. hungary can again say its yes let's say yes, veto, but on this or that decision, but on the other hand, it is interesting that the european union, which until recently was more about the economy, about trade, about political democratic processes, now makes decisions really internally about how to help ukraine with ammunition, that is, really

the world changed the war changed many and about the speed of making this decision i think again everything will depend on the situation at the front primarily because our colleagues are their intelligence services they receive operational information from the way events are unfolding at our front will depend on the speed of decision-making and its implementation, because decisions can be made but take time, transport prefixes, internal approvals, sometimes bureaucracy, but if the situation is really even more critical, and we see it, unfortunately, there are such prerequisites for an even greater skalati then it is necessary for our western partners to be aware of this and to maximally actively implement the decision of mr. bohdane , now it is not about munich, but also about the important

diplomatic work, the diplomatic struggle which is held by ukraine because among our european international partners we have, i cannot say that they are enemies, but those countries that sympathize not with ukraine but with russia, we will talk about hungary and another meeting that took place on february 9 in brussels, where the president met with mr. orbán, they shook hands and from what we know today , deputy head of the president's office ihor zhovkva reported that orban was invited to ukraine for how important a visit it would be for us, and that orban could see here what he did not see before, because he thinks that russia is not at war with us and we need to negotiate . i think that he knows that ukraine, er, that ukraine is resisting precisely russian aggression, that is, it is so unambiguous and difficult sometimes, even if you sympathize there

and have some connections with the kremlin entourage there , it is difficult to directly see and recognize what the whole civilized world recognizes, such as those brutal aggressive actions carried out by russia, so diplomacy is not only communicating with those who are easy to talk to, who is your friend and who supports you diplomacy is also to meet and discuss difficult issues, sensitive issues and look for opportunities for certain compromises in a tactical plan in order to really win on and diplomatic years ago, i share what was illustrated and demonstrated by our president regarding the meeting and maybe with mr. morgan it is necessary to use such opportunities . unfortunately, i am not sure that this can fundamentally change the position of hungary there, as long as orban

and his entourage are in power, they will continue to use the instrument of support for ukraine as an element of blackmailing brussels in order to bargain for their bonuses because they have many problems within the european union in the context of democracy, the supremacy of the right to freedom of speech and so on, but certain , perhaps , sharp corners. and the third, with his own eyes, when a person , even a skeptic, even a pragmatist, will see the real results of war crimes and the destruction that russia has brought to ukraine. i think something can change a little internally because there are hopes, they are small, but they leave, we will wait, will orban agree to this visit, mr. bohdan, we are grateful to you for

being with us and talking about such important things , bohdan ferenc, candidate of political sciences , international expert, the discussion of the security topic does not end there smooth out the previous failures in ukraine, as well as to reduce the tension between the ministry of defense of the russian federation and prigozhyn this is what the personnel changes in the command of the military districts of russia are aimed at the kremlin specifically appointed neutral figures to these positions in order to protect the appointed commander valery gerasimov from potential criticism. in addition, the institute notes that prigozhin is conducting an informational counter-offensive against the russian military leadership, all because of shoigu's obstruction of the continuation of the prisoner recruitment company, such actions are said to limit operational capabilities of mercenaries in ukraine and now with us in direct communication

taras zoftenko expert on international security issues mr. taras good night to you taras in perhaps we should not be concerned about what is happening over there, how they behave, hate each other, frame us, we should be concerned about how this will affect the military campaign, which in particular the wagnerites are conducting on the territory of ukraine in bakhmut and other ukrainian cities. the fact is that these are all uh, their infighting and uh, round dances led by different groups of influence around the russian leader, in fact, this is one of the elements of uh , their typical such military-political management, this is in their style, this is in the style personally, the current russian president, who considering that this war, which he planned to end there , kyiv was taken in three days and held a parade, and it dragged on

for a year, it is obvious that there is an objective need to extinguish criticism in some way, to appoint the guilty in one or another situation, but at the same time, as long as the hostilities continue, with the appointment of the guilty, it is necessary not to lose the resource that will continue to wage this war and which, at least at some stage , can demonstrate some victories, so we actually see that the current russian leader here he is trying to maintain such a balance between the military, whom he periodically criticizes and on whom he lays the blame, uh, talking publicly about what he had to do about some decisions , he did not know what was happening, ah, it is segregated with the general staff, so the russian federation is such a plan they have a--and another one, and on the other hand, understanding that, in principle, if the political fate of not only putin personally, but of the entire putin regime depends on the people with weapons, he

needs some kind of counterweight to this, and so with appeared prigozhin and in the company of him and kadyrov, yes, which also have their own paramilitary groups. and periodically we see guilt tripping and journaling, well, certain bonuses and preferences between these two groups. that is, this is one of the ways to extinguish internal criticism within the russian regime and, in principle , within the russian of the state as a whole , what is happening now is absolutely connected with the appointment of general gerasimov as the commander of this so-called joint group of troops, and it is clear that the russian president is appointment er well, let's say that he weighed the seriousness of the situation, in fact, yes, that is, from er russian troops from the russian occupation forces on the territory of ukraine until the anniversary of the beginning of this military campaign , at least some result is expected and general

gerasimov, unlike all the others, that surovikin himself, his predecessor. well, to some extent, at least, he is a minimally intellectual specialist. and actually, we now see that for him, at least until february 24 , such conditions are created where he could maximally realize his vision. well, he well, if hmm is the author of this hybrid approach of the hybrid strategy of the russian federation, in fact, that’s why free is intended to under er, yes , at the beginning of this war, to show some result and give putin at least something that can be sold at least as a minimal victory, sir tarase, regarding the new appointments , this is the name of the new commander, if i 'm not mistaken, i'm not mistaken, i'm not mistaken, i'm not mistaken, the western military district is just associated with the threatened , they say, the figure is neutral, but

closer to the beauty. this is conscious, this is the location. a-a deprived deliberately because a-a well, despite the fact that now the group following kadyrov has lost its influence with the removal of surovikin from the position of commander of the combined group of troops. but putin is trying not to completely eliminate this group, not to reject it so much that turn it into well, let's say implacable enemies and personnel soldiers. well, in the end, putin 's regime itself. that's why it's such a small curtsey that in here's your chance to show yourself and here's your chance that uh, we don't completely turn away from you and you may still have an opportunity to prove yourself. if the military personnel cannot cope now, because this is at the same time a kind of hint and a hint of gerasimov that if what you have planned now and what you have already announced as somewhere possible future victory is, please, there is an opportunity to replace

you with other people who will be close to the group that buys you , mr. taras, the next, the next will not be a question, but rather a request to comment, and before joining with you, we talked about the munich security conference and here on the sidelines of the munich security conference, there was a revelation from the president of france, saying that he thought that the wagner pvc was a structure that was not under the control of the kremlin , well, that’s what putin told me, and i believed him , that it was at all. and you know. now we see that the west of western politicians the military and political leadership of western countries at many points change not only their worldview in general, their vision, as it were , of the european policy of international relations , international security, but also, well, let's say so, they are getting rid of certain illusions

in relation to the russian regime, it is clear that , well, for us, it is a thing. such a thing, as wagner found out, the preparation with the putin regime is a thing. well, it is almost obvious, yes, but taking into account the fact that, uh, individual european politicians, they are, well, a little big from the real russian realities, and another point - this the fact that we should not forget that russian propaganda and russian hybrid influence somehow works in western countries, even despite the fact that a year ago russia began this full-scale armed invasion of the territory of ukraine russia, his hybrid aggressive company against western countries, against the population of western countries and against their political military leadership, has been leading for more than one year, and it is clear that it is difficult to assess now whether this is actually some personal opinion of macron. is this his personal impression or is it it is possible that something was reported to him by his advisors or someone from his entourage, but if we understand that, in

principle, if, in general, this year's munich conference is filled with such serious, strong political messages that indicate that the event consolidated he is on the side of ukraine, we, in fact, in this context, we need to perceive, and this is macron's insight. let's put it this way , i think that it plays into this, in this situation , it plays into the strengthening of these general united positions of the west in that ah the west already looks at russia and its politics in a completely different way, and in the end at the aggressive actions that the russians demonstrate on the territory of ukraine, and in principle, we must understand that russian aggression is a hybrid, it spreads far beyond the borders of our of the states of mr. taras after this conference, when the participating world leaders return home, the first thing they will do is start thinking about holding meetings with their defense ministers, however, how to help ukraine or

, after all, about strengthening the defense capabilities of their countries, because they understand that russia may not stop at ukraine, in fact, these are things are interconnected and we have already heard many european politicians say that in fact european states are now facing a dilemma that they did not face during the most critical times of the cold war. to ensure one's own security and provide help to one's allies let's say, well, actually, this is exactly this double type of motive and will not be the main priority of european countries in the near future, and here are these political agreements and political unity that was demonstrated on the munich conference is actually a very serious foundation for further rammstein because by and large we ah at the last session which ended just a few days before this munich

conference we heard about what actually further agreements, for example, on the supply of combat aircraft to ukraine by western countries and be based exclusively on the unity of the political unity of the western allies , that is, so that it is obvious that the countries participating in rammstein do not want to repeat the situation with these often quite heated disputes about the supply of tanks to ukraine. so when some states blamed others for their actions and this created the impression that it was a favorable fund for russian propaganda, which would show that, in fact, the west is not as united as it could be. at the last rammstein, the idea was sounded that the supply of combat aircraft to ukraine should be based on the formation of a so-called aviation coalition by analogy with the easel coalition. and listening to the statements of this year's munich conference, we see that the issue of political unity at least for aviation coalition in poppy to the next
