. in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 790 orks. have already lost in ukraine 3350 tanks 6593 armored combat vehicles 2 3 these two artillery systems 471 rocket salvo systems 244 air defense equipment 299 airplanes 287 helicopters 5215 units of automotive equipment from 18 ships, boats, 873 cruise missiles, 2029 drones, 228 units of special equipment, about how putin is recruiting the entire russian people to war, and moscow is thundering nuclear weapons, about the foreign policy results of this difficult week, what is going by, we will talk today during this hour, i want to introduce our

guest volodymyr yelchenko politician diplomat ambassador plenipotentiary and ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine in ukraine to the un from ukraine in 2015-20 19 p volodymyr good day and good health to you good day to you let's start our conversation with the results, mr. volodymyr, because there is still time to sum up joseph biden's historic visit to the capital of ukraine and the diplomatic efforts of the ukrainian state continue. of the future of the eu itself in vilnius and told about the conversation with the prime minister of great britain, we will hear and see zelenskyi

spoke with the prime minister of great britain in the evening britain is working very strongly together with britain to strengthen our soldiers to bring our common victory closer to the implementation of our defense agreements that were reached during my visit to london and it would be very good if all our partners as well as britain understood how the speed of defense supply affects concrete successes on the battlefield discussed important political issues that we have to solve already this week the second half of the week will be even more active from the point of view of international relations diplomatic pace we maintain this the diplomatic pace, mr. volodymyr, was set by joseph biden when he came to kyiv, unexpectedly for many and obviously unexpectedly for the russian federation, so what

happened during the last two days of biden's visit to europe, well, in particular to ukraine, how much it changes the balance of power in the world and the world's perception of what is happening in ukraine, the arrival of biden, it means that russia, as biden said , will never defeat ukraine, and it was biden who put his signature, relatively speaking, virtual, under it. i think that the arrival of biden, well, it became such a unique event, these uh, exceptionally intensive episodic contacts of ukraine for the whole week, and actually starting from the very beginning of this year, uh, almost a day does not go by, as we can see, without some serious visit. well, biden's visit was a demonstration of the fact that

you know america is really the leader of the world and president biden as the president of this most powerful country in the world and the greatest friend. by the way of ukraine, i would get tired of repeating it, he once again proved that he does not just understand this whole situation very deeply the roots of this conflict are... well aware of the role of the country he leads in stopping this cycle and defeating russia. that is, it was a signal to the whole world and to us and to russia and to our allies and, among other things, to those countries that are still hesitating , that take a subscriber position or expect something like that i think that this signal did not go unnoticed. if we compare mr. biden's speeches in kyiv and warsaw with those poor speeches of putin and then

putin's 2:0 or some excellent example of our parents in luzhniki, we will see a very big difference er, this is the difference between the civilized world and the dark kingdom of totalitarianism, which is leading its country to an unknown destination. so i think that in moscow, er, all those signals that er, voiced by biden were also perfectly heard. and the main thing for us is that we actually see it, he said that both america and the coalition led by america for ukraine will stand with us until the end, i.e. until the final victory of ukraine and the final defeat of the russian federation, but mr. volodymyr, the russian federation constantly emphasizes that it was the kremlin that allowed biden to fly to kyiv, as if there was no

shelling, but on the other hand, if the kremlin was informed about biden's visit, the white house confirmed it, it means that putin is not so crazy anymore, which he is trying to show to the whole world and threatening everyone with nuclear weapons because during biden's visit to ukraine, not a single missile was fired, well, that is, there was an air alert, planes took off as usual from the airfields of the republic of belarus, but here it turns out putin is not so crazy, this visit showed that he is not ready to get rid of everything that he has like the palaces and all the capital that he earned as the president of the russian federation. that's right. well, if you look at this story from the other side

, what could russia actually do, the small intestine, and by the way, the fact that the americans warned in russia, this just proves not in favor of russia, because if they were not warned, then you could probably expect some surprises. and they warned, and then only the scab will tell everyone about it. and why didn't we hit a missile there and didn't dare to do something like that, because they are also afraid because there is nothing to answer realistically, and by the way, this was confirmed by the so-called speech of putin, er, to the moscow meeting , yes, yes, to the meeting, which reminded me, you know , of the speech of such a late brezhnev at one of the congresses of the cpsu there, somewhere in the late 70s, early in the 80s, that is, during the peak, it stagnates. that is, there is nothing to say, and by the way, he actually devoted a very small part of his speech to the war, and the rest - it

was some new numbers, we poured out numbers about the yield, about some construction is unknown for what but he also waved all the oligarchs i just forgot about the fact that in fact they all just sat down and sat down. that is, it was such a vivid warning to them that now we will also tighten the screws for you about yachts, about houses , white foreign bills, etc. so there is nothing to say. well, then this meeting in luzhniki -he once again confirmed that he has nothing to say, uh, not only to his elite who sat uh, hmm, in this hall, and there is also nothing to say to the youth who gathered in luzhniki , that is, it turns out that there is nothing to say at all. he simply ceased to be

the real leader of his country, so to me it seems like it really is, because the real leader of the country will still honor the memory of those whom he sends to war, and he, in fact, on the day when the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine announced the death of 145,000 russians who died during the last year , he arranges a sabbath at the stadium luzhniki, and it actually looks very abnormal, because well , it turns out that he is recruiting the whole people for the war, but there is not even a basic commemoration of those who died there . they were formed there , no

, not in the last decades, but for centuries. anti-russia, putin has always repeated about this. during the last eight years, about this anti-russia, before nebenzia claims that this plan began to be implemented in 2014 and is perceived as a war with a measure of survival we will hear and see the heavens any measured plan with gloves that are thrown into the world space by kiev or its western protectors, in fact, it all boils down to the capitulation of russia, not for that in washington, in london and brussels , the kiev regime was strengthened and made ukraine anti-russian, so that russia and ukraine could again live in peace, good neighborliness, security. as for our country, we perceive all this as a war with the west for survival, for the future of our country and our children, for our identity, a war in which, how many 80 years ago, an insidious and powerful enemy challenged us, wanting to take

our lands and do it for himself, and this plan began to be implemented not now, at least in 2014, the creation of a hostile regime on our border and the strengthening of it and ukraine in all schemes no more чем разменный монет here they are constantly repeating and putin and nebenzia are talking about what the west wants to destroy russia that it is the west that started the war as the rhetoric has changed over the past 9 years . plenipotentiary representative of ukraine at the un in 2015-2019, has the russian side always had this kind of rhetoric, or are they already drawing certain conclusions?

against the russian federation, you know, the rhetoric is changing very much. i would say radically. well, first of all, i'm reminding you how the addresses of russian representatives to their western colleagues have changed. interrogative partners, then it became our former partners of the west and yesterday he already said in open text well, he did not mention the word enemies, but these countries of the west there he will drink in russia and so on, by the way, well, the army, what are you almost, what i mean by a radical change is now, yesterday's speech by bionzi has finally confirmed this. this side is not considered a war against ukraine at all, that is, russia is fighting against the west against

nato, but it is too much , there is no way this war can be reached. it's just that they took some territory called the country and on it they began to fight with the russian federation, that is, such distortions that it is not even subject to as they say, no one is commenting, but even so, all these speeches are not the pension of his predecessor churkin, the late customs officer , the impression is that there is no gasoline is trying to jump into the first ranks of the defendants in the greek tribunal, that is, if before he at least somehow tried there , we somehow more or less speak something, now he simply already has some kind of language. turn to a third world country, that is, the calculation that those countries that are far from this war, that do not really understand the roots

of the causes and other things, and the consequences, that they will attack the lack of the russian generator, but it seems to me that this is a huge calculation because in spite of everything , in spite of the fact that, let's say, africa, not many countries fully understand what is happening, but they perfectly understand the consequences of the goal, and not including for them , because the security system in the world is collapsing which which was which more or less somehow worked there and not only in europe and in the whole world but now it is no more

let's say from the latest prices for food, energy, refugees, well, that is, everything does not bring anything good to the third world, if the russians tried to prove to them that in this you are ukraine and nato or a collective event, but there are shortcomings, they perfectly understand who is responsible for what and who does what so it seems like the upcoming vote in this assembly will be held tomorrow, it will be another institution dedicated to ukraine, there are our customs plans, and so on, and the results of this vote will show us the real relationship to russia and, in general, to this topic. i am sure that this is so the so-called famous five countries that all the time vote for the russian federation, belarus, syria, north korea, the lottery, well , that's all. even so, venezuela doesn't have some other countries that have supported russia before

. so everyone understands everything perfectly, and i i think that uh, all this will lead to such a step-by-step isolation of russia and it will end in the end. well, simply by excluding russia from the system of existing international organizations, this process has already started. russia has already been kicked out of some organizations. work. i think that we will feel its results quite quickly. well, russia, of course, first of all, the results will all be felt. we will see one fragment of the speech of not benzi, who is outraged that the west is helping ukraine and says that we have lost our military potential in the first weeks of the war, ukraine is meant, and western countries are helping us because they are infected with russophobia

, and we will hear and see, not benzyl today, an hour after the start of the active phase of the ukrainian crisis. the military potential of the first week of the special military operation, and the collective smell in the face of the united states, its nato ally, the european union, they not only supply kiev with weapons and ammunition, but also supply the armed forces with information and agree to it is becoming quite obvious that the ukrainian crisis became a catalyst for the emergence of this cave-like russophobia, which is now completely infected by the american and european elites competing in the number of sanctions on our country's relations. with the rhetoric of putin, who, as you have already mentioned, spoke in front of the federal assembly, his almost two-hour speech was today, uh, in russia they celebrate father's day and putin on the day of the soviet army congratulated his

people and promised to strengthen the nuclear potential of russia . the production of hitler's sound complexes of air-based daggers and we will start mass deliveries of hypersonic missiles of sea-based churches, here, mr. volodymyr, all countries in the world are trying some way to develop, to brag about it technologies, some new productions, progress, ah, putin brags about seven missiles that endlessly stamps the russian military-industrial-industrial complex, and it is clear that a country that produces weapons and

produces death is, in principle, doomed and it is itself -e this doom is approaching on february 21, during his speech before the federal assembly, putin announced that russia is suspending its participation in the treaty on strategic offensive weapons. does this mean that russia is entering the next race weapons like in which the soviet union once took part, well, something similar is happening, isn't it? well, first of all, this speech is today's speech by putin, if you translate it into korean and make a picture in some way, it is difficult to distinguish who is speaking or the leader of north korea or the russian federation, that is, the same rhetoric, only the names of others are daggers, there is nothing clinical about korea, everything else is already there, uh , as for the contract, uh, i’m sorry, well , first of all, you know, if you carefully read the text

of this contract, there is nothing there at all none the provision on the suspension of participation is such an invention of putin or his speechwriters, in fact, there is no healthy way to get out of it or to stay in it or to continue or not to continue its action there. what have you done? but the truth is that they can't really do anything. this contract , well, actually, it contains two cardinal and most important things, the first is the possibility of inspection, and they are already suspended er, well, since the er beginning of covid, that is, for a long time in this sense, the agreement has not worked, and er , neither the americans nor the russians inspect the er objects of the other side, and secondly, and this is the most

important, it limits the number of heads of both sides e-e 1 000 500 that is, each side has 1500 why because at one time military experts calculated that even this would be more than enough to mutually destroy each other zero and at the same time our entire planet together with other countries thus do you have 1500 or there 2 000 chi 1510 does not carry it at all no difference uh. another question is that uh, if the united states of america , for example, can quite quickly increase only although i would say that there is simply no need to do this, there is absolutely no need , what is uh, for the russian federation, it means standing in the way personally of the soviet union, which allowed itself to not withstand this

tension of the economic and financial e-e, spending all the available funds instead of supporting the population, gassing its economy, helping people and so on, all the funds , or almost all of them, went to this nuclear program on it is the creation of new and new media headlines such and such which, as i have already said, have absolutely no meaning because what was already quite enough well, besides this , few people talk about it, but it is the truth. i remember this question when engaged in being in his moscow e-e the fact is that mostly the majority of those carriers are the sky and the head but the carriers capable of carrying these missiles e-e these charges e-e the vast majority derives the term of their e-e well, so to speak, the use

that is, they are all created were and by the way 99% on they were created in dnipropetrovsk, the former in dnipro at their zhmash factory, their warranty period is about 40 plus or minus years. the last of these missiles were built in the late 70s, early 80s of the last century. this means that sometime after 2020 year they all fall into disrepair, they need to be serviced in some way to extend the service life, er, there is no one to do it, because again, these are ukrainian specialists , mostly, this means that you have to change it, that is, there is no need to create more ideas uah 1,500 new and what to do with the ones that are already there and that cheery sarmatian that putin keeps talking about, so we see that even the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday's test, which was supposed to be something, to hear nothing about it means that in fact, most likely, it was

a failure and we are talking about only one carrier, you still have them to finish at least a dozen , that is, then, er. it can all be done and he can choose the funds that will go to this, and the sanctions work, if there are no funds today, then what will happen the day after tomorrow, no one at all he doesn't know. so, let's see. well, if putin just wants to speed up the collapse of russia, well, he's doing it with his own hands, talking about this sarmatushka, as if it were already sung in songs in russia, eh, cnn reported the day before yesterday that this launch was unsuccessful and in the afternoon, they say, when biden was in europe, russia wanted to show strength to the americans at the same time after russia announced the suspension of the treaty

of participation in the treaty on measures to further reduce and limit strategic offensive weapons. biden said that he did not believes that president putin is thinking about the use of nuclear weapons, and you, mr. volodymyr. what do you think in our joint broadcasts that at one time he was very seriously and harshly warned about the consequences of the joint use of nuclear weapons , even tactical ones, and after that by the way, here is this nuclear rhetoric somehow faded into the background, the fact that he announced that all these sarmatians were withdrawing from the treaty or stopped participating, these are still secondary things. that is, we all noticed that, well , direct threats, unlike a few more months ago, somehow we do not hear from the previous putin, and i think

not only the americans, but also the chinese, because for china and, well, for india, which also possesses nuclear weapons, the use of these weapons by russia will also mean very catastrophic consequences , because it will open e- it's pandora's box because nuclear weapons were never used after hiroshima, and that's why we preserved the world we have today, let it be imperfect and peaceful , but it still exists if one of five nuclear-armed countries will use nuclear weapons without saying choose a mine of consequences this is true we will open the possibility of using another uh-uh mmm and no one will ever agree to this and will not go because everyone understands the consequences well, he already said the direct consequences for putin this

it will simply be its physical destruction and the destruction of many other things on the territory of the russian federation, and with the use of non-nuclear results and conventional weapons or the convention and knowing what weapons the united states and other nato countries have. i think that well, if not putin himself, the russian military simply told him what it would be and how it could all end, so i think that this brilliance may continue for some time, but i have an electric question, if there was really an opportunity and a desire to fix this weapon for some reason, they have never done it, and what actually changed between today, 6 months ago, or september of last year, when our armed forces began to successfully code, that is , i think it was still possible to do it then, but

they were afraid, i am not talking about the stations, i am there weapons well, of course, i am an expert on these issues, but from what we all know and you read the same er sources, i think that everyone understands how i told you these things about the warranty period of using those packages er at least one of them won't explode there before it takes off. so what about this ? i think about it, too. the russian military knows it for sure, and the american intelligence . they say, i think that no, i think that if he had this chance, he would have already taken advantage of it, and yes. every next decision he makes and every next step of the younger one will worsen his situation, it's like in chess, that is , when you have already started to develop, you can only pull checkmate away, but nothing is
