[000:00:00;00] intestinal help or slow them down very, very much second second i would say the mixed internet is to hit the unity and this is on me this is a real threat and hmm because our diplomatic front our diplomacy they are very good skills even i would say they opened a new one as to keep uh different countries together and to leave this one so that this unity becomes well, he is very strong now and hmm, there is where there is a weakness a-ah hmm , this is it. a beggar of russian disinformation, but recently a former prime minister surrendered to belgium said that he suspected so

the theory that if there was no brexi, then it is possible that russia would not have attacked ukraine, because where they see it is scary, so to speak, then they will strike on the same topic in order to separate this union, but we see that it doesn't work because 54 countries have joined the rammstein system and the military aid continues and the third is that they just sow doubts they are starting to say a lot of interesting things that have nothing to do with reality about our efforts nothing well how will it all end i think it is clear that this will end with something that russia, well, they will return to their territory and ukraine, ukraine will remain uh-uh, they will renew sovereignty up to the border of 1991, and these doubts, too, they don’t

work like that anymore. although they may have a certain uh-uh certain meaning, but you understand what about 54 countries, even nuland's speeches about what ukraine is planning to prepare to liberate the occupied territory, this is a ukrainian issue and the world understands it, and that's why it seems to me that even if they had invested billions of billions in this industry of theirs defeat awaits us, and only victory awaits us we are holding the line thank you for your participation in the program spotlight ukraine ukrainian version mark suprun is the creative editor of artua we are continuing the largest loss of manpower since the beginning of the full-scale war and no significant tactical successes this is how military experts characterize the first weeks

of the so-called decisive russian offensive in donbas, which continues immediately in five directions about the situation at the front in our traditional review, these shots are fiercely in close combat near the village of novoselivske in the luhansk region, the occupiers are closing in on the positions of the 92nd brigade of the armed forces of ukraine recently, this has been happening along the entire front line, the ukrainian military says, attacking in small groups, the russians are looking for weak points in our defense, but so far they have not been able to achieve significant success in any of the directions , the main forces have again focused on taking bakhmut, assault actions are taking place in the west the situation remains tense in the southern suburbs, the southeastern suburbs and the northern suburbs, but i want to assure you of a controlled reserve to change the situation at

the operational, and even more so, strategic level in there is no enemy now, military expert serhiy zgurets adds that without a second wave of mobilization, the russians will not be able to increase the escalation, but they still significantly outnumber the number of manpower and currently have weapons, so in ukraine we need to change tactics in order to reverse the course of hostilities , move away from the hard front line and try to conditionally saying to lose the enemy at the expense of speed at the expense of new weapons systems, this is exactly what i think will be implemented in the format of the counterattack that we are currently expecting. but in any case russia will now still try to exhaust us along the entire line due to the actions of manpower in all these directions, so that the main issue for us now is to break this clinch imposed by the russian side in the near future and move to the approaches of mobile defense of a mobile counterattack

. new trained brigades with new weapons and new tactics strategy , the coming weeks will be especially difficult for the ukrainian military before the counteroffensive of the armed forces may technically be ready no earlier than in two months, the minister of defense emphasized of ukraine oleksiy reznikov the so-called special operation in ukraine has become russia's largest loss in the past few decades. the terrorist country has never announced its real combat defeats , however , more occupiers have already died on ukrainian lands than in the first chechen war and even in all 10 years of the war in afghanistan, which was unleashed by the soviet union so officially, during the afghan war , almost 14 and a half thousand soviet soldiers were killed, and the soviet union also lost about 2,000 units of heavy equipment in two

in the chechen wars, according to russia, almost 13,000 soldiers were killed, although independent experts voice other figures from 20 to 50,000 killed in the first chechen war and more than 7 thousand in the second, in addition, russia lost more than 750 pieces of equipment in these wars, the war in georgia cost the russian federation almost 30 combat vehicles and 67 soldiers, according to russian data, georgian troops lost about 400 occupiers during a year of full-scale war, the ukrainian military eliminated about 145 thousand russians, more than 3,300 tanks, more than six of half a thousand armored vehicles, 18 ships and almost 600 airplanes and helicopters, the counteroffensive is planned by the ex-commander of the united states of america in europe , ben hodges , you are watching the ukrainian version, thanks for the honor, thank you for being with us. believes that the main battles will be finished

by the end of spring and the ukrainian army has every chance to occupy crimea this summer. this is such positive thinking. are these really real forecasts, and it is nice to hear that first of all no c which cannot be achieved if you think negatively, therefore, really positive thinking from the leadership, seeing potential intelligence scenarios, and i am truly convinced that crimea can also be bought by deo until the end of the plane. launch a counteroffensive, the forces can develop new units, apply, build up the force

in order to begin the reconquest of crimea in the summer , taking into account the fact that a survey is necessary, in particular , of long-range weapons that ukraine will be able to obtain and i really agree with general bohdanov, one of the ukrainian officials recently said that crimea can be de-occupied first , and then they will deal with donbas , do you agree? so, first of all, i agree that crimea is a big priority, this is a decisive moment, because ukraine will never be safe if it will want to rebuild its economy and as long as crimea is under occupation , accordingly, it is necessary to strengthen and increase

efforts actually before russia tries to implement the next wave of the offensive, there is a lot changes are taking place in the russian rear, the russian military is the so-called separatists in donbas, so they no longer have such enthusiasm to continue the fight, and therefore, in principle , it is quite possible to liberate crimea first and then move on to the liberation of donbas, thank you . i don’t want to talk about putin , but it is necessary putin continues to scare the world with his nuclear narratives putin said that russia is suspending the treaty on strategic offensive weapons, what is putin preparing for

and what will be his next steps and of course this is another signal to the fact that russia is subservient to putin, it is not a reliable partner in negotiations and, of course , it is technically possible to expect only one-sided implementation of the agreement or that in the agreement or similar to it, that is, in principle , these are typical russian actions, so they wanted and left of the grain agreement that was guaranteed by turkey, that is, in fact, nothing new , i don’t think that anything significant is being prepared. these are simply russia’s efforts to somehow put pressure on the west, to cause a certain split in

the unity of the collective event by such they are polite with illogical statements, they are grasping at straws and do it by playing on their audience. arms so the usa is discussing with other countries as allies, discussing the issue of supplying military aircraft to ukraine, does this mean that ukraine is finally getting these and fighter jets and how such aircraft change the situation on the field i am afraid of something. maybe she talked to officials and back in 2015 she managed to provide q and q 304 radar, and accordingly she is quite a serious person. i completely trust her judgment and i think that

in the end such fighters will be provided to ukraine we can change the policy and even if the decision has not been made yet we can already start the training after all, in order to train ukrainian pilots, it will take at least four months of training for the officers to acquire a professional level , so we can start training now. in january, william burns, director of the cia, warned volodymyr zelenskyi and encouraged him to advance faster on the battlefield, because the scale of military aid may fall, or can ukraine

move to a counteroffensive as soon as possible, as i think that the ukrainians will move to the counteroffensive as soon as possible, and i also hope that the ukrainian general staff is how disciplined they are, how professional they are in their field, and how they understand the operational level of the war, and therefore i am certainly not familiar with the general staff. but i think that there everyone understands that the russian offensive can only increase the number of conscripts involved who are not prepared, but at the same time the general staff is building up its own military power, which will consist of

ukrainian trophy and russian bmp tanks armored vehicles, as well as additional armory that will provide protection, and therefore, in fact, by june, they will be ready to go on the offensive, strike not in the direction of bakhmut, but in some other direction, in particular, in the direction of crimea, and that is why i think that the general staff has nerves of steel and it is very important that they give the possibility that they have such permission from the government that they concentrate on one area, they do not put pressure on the general staff to act in different directions, so in five instead of the armed forces, they are concentrated hope in one direction where they can break through the enemy's defenses, so by june, apparently, the wall street journal said that they doubted the spread of the considered that

china has the possibility and such a potential scenario that china will provide weapons to russia, in what way did this change the situation on the battlefield, i think that china is now in a very interesting position, yes they warned russia not to use nuclear weapons but at the same time i think they would like us ukraine and the usa to be defeated and therefore of course they want to avoid any sanctions they are trying to balance in this dimension and that's why i think it was very reasonable to say at the munich conference last year that we know that china is considering the issue of providing russia with weapons and accordingly this reflects

the involvement of china last year china they denied such actions and so in general it was a good use intelligence of data and very smart intelligent pairing of information thank you mr. gadget for this interview, the former commander of the us army was a guest of the spotlight ukraine program , our international will tell about the most important things that happened in the world related to ukraine columnist yuri fizer american president joe biden gave a speech on the anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, the american leader addressed the world in connection with russian aggression from the garden of the royal castle in warsaw, the current owner of the white house was in poland after his unannounced but so important for

on february 20 in warsaw, he held talks with the president of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, andrzej duda, security was the main topic, including in the context of the war in ukraine zelenskii, when we spoke in kyiv yesterday, i can proudly say that our support for ukraine remains unwavering, and as i told my russian colleague, i said a long time ago that you are striving for the finnishization of nato, and you will get naturalization in finland too, and it turns out that i did not know that sweden will also come but the joke is i think if we keep a cool head and be united then we are in a better position than ever more information about how the world unitedly supports ukraine in our selfless and

the heroic fight against russian aggression continues in the digest, the un general assembly overwhelmingly approved the draft resolution, which includes the key provisions of the peace formula proposed by ukraine, this is a ten-point plan designed to end the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine , with 141 votes from the delegations, and 32 abstentions , in particular, iran, kazakhstan and china and seven countries opposed belarus north korea eritrea malinica ragua series and of course russia presented the draft resolution together with ukraine, more than 70 states in it persistently call on the russian federation to immediately and unconditionally withdraw all its troops from the territory of ukraine. china has published the so-called peace plan on the political settlement of russia's war against ukraine. the document consists of 12 points , in particular, the text calls for respect for the sovereignty of all countries to cease fire to start negotiations to resolve the humanitarian crisis, to protect civilians and prisoners of war, also in the prc, they believe that it is necessary to maintain the safety of nuclear

power, the economy, to guarantee export grain and contribute to post-war reconstruction in its document , the chinese foreign ministry calls the war a crisis and calls for an end to unilateral sanctions, ammunition for heimers, 155-mm artillery shells and demining equipment . will finance the training of the ukrainian military and maintenance of weapons , and the biden administration plans to provide our country with up to 250 million dollars for restoration of energy, since it will never happen again, we cannot allow russia to chip away at pieces from our security, and therefore we must break the cycle of russian aggression , nato secretary general janstonberg said on wednesday during the meeting of the heads of state of the bukharan nine in poland, and according to him, now the north atlantic the alliance must do everything to prevent similar

aggression from russia in the future . china provides non-lethal military assistance to russia during the aggressive war in ukraine but in beijing they do not reject the option of sending weapons to russia as well. us secretary general anthony blinken said this in an interview with the american television channels nbc news and cbs after meeting with the head of the office of the international affairs commission of the central committee of the communist party of china, ivan, and at the same time, the chief diplomat of the us warned his chinese colleague that if china does start sending weapons to russia, it will have a very negative effect on american-chinese relations. the european union should introduce a ceiling price on russian liquefied gas by analogy with oil this statement was made by the minister of foreign affairs of estonia, urmas rein salo, before a meeting with his european colleagues in brussels, according to him, russia receives too much profit from the sale of liquefied gas

, the minister also proposed to lower the maximum price for russian oil from 30 and about most importantly, i will talk to the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine 2007-2009 , volodymyr moghrizm, and ask him for his professional opinion , mr. volodymyr. greetings. thank you for joining . glory to ukraine, look, this week was very rich in international e-e events, news, it is obvious that the visit of the president of the united states of america, joe biden, to kyiv was probably the most important, this has already been talked about a lot, less has been said about the visit of joe biden to poland in general, about meetings, this is exactly what i want to talk to you about, obviously we we understand how historic this visit was for ukraine, and can we say that it was historic for europe? i think so, and i will tell

you why. because, uh, and the statement made by uh, the president of the united states in warsaw, she demonstrated it seems to me that there are two things, the first one was that uh, and hmm, jobanin actually repeated about this after speaking in kyiv that ukraine will not be left alone, that the collective action of the world will help ukraine to victory, and the second that the eastern flank is the eastern flank of nato, i.e. the countries of east central europe are gaining more and more importance, and i see a deep symbolism in this, because this , in my opinion, shows that without the future membership of ukraine, this eastern flank of nato will be completely

incomplete, and i think that we should to be used with only one purpose to uh push our some uh western partners to make a decision faster it is obvious that we cannot now talk about joining nato until the end of the war uh until the victorious end of the war on uh on the part of ukraine but the next day after that, we should ask the question, ruba. what do you think? you already said that the eastern flank heard joe biden , did you agree that biden or the collective event heard joe biden ? further to more western partners, and most importantly, not even statements. but their actions, we can come to the conclusion that after all, what we tried to talk about for a very long time and bring to

the consciousness of western collectives really, well , it reached its destination. look how seriously things have changed the positions of the two leading countries of western europe, germany and france, from the absolute reluctance to take any very specific steps and measures for the purpose of helping, real help started with medical tents , some packages, and so on. and yes further on today it is highly accurate and very powerful, so i think that these specific practical actions indicate that this psychological rubicon has been crossed, including by our western partners, let's remember the visit

that took place this very week of the premier of italy with the confirmation that we will be, we italians will be the same, the key plus is with you despite everything that even in the coalition there are people who love putin very much, but this will in no way change the position of italy in helping ukraine so i think that this hack actually already happened, it’s ok, mr. volodymyr, well, look, joe biden came to europe, he visited ukraine, he visited poland , he left europe, he stayed. and here in europe , an event that also happened this week. well, this is not a very good event. i would say that the osce parliamentary assembly the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the nation and the parliamentary assembly, where was the delegation of russia, and what's more, this delegation danced a waltz, please tell me the organization for security

and cooperation in europe. cooperation but just security, does it have the right to exist after that , you know uh, there are two aspects uh , uh , the first uh, the first aspect fought absolutely correctly and about this, well, i've been talking about it for years, because the structure that is the basis of this organization does not work, it turns the osce into a platform for the exchange of statements , but this platform cannot give birth to any practical actions. well, the same actually applies and the un as a whole and more generally, this regional structure is universal, but these

constructs that were laid down during their creation turned out to be ineffective, that is, these organizations really do not work, so that, after the victory, it will be one of the key tasks . we must set before ourselves, we will have to think about the reconstruction of the global world order and the rethinking of the role of certain instruments of this order, because those that exist today demonstrate that they are incapable of anything, but there are other aspects of why is friendly to us austria allowed this russian bash to take place in the fallburg in the center of vienna, and here the question is definitely for our austrian partners who covered themselves with such

a fig leaf, it's very sad to say because i worked for five years as an ambassador in this the country is very sad that the austrians decided to play along with the aggressors, because the predecessors of the osce , i mean the previous chairmanship of poland, they simply did not issue visas despite is that the austrian presidency that polish, that any other have the same rights, unfortunately, in this regard, you know, it feels like this, a certain union of budapest and vienna, and it, in my opinion, simply disgraces the high goals

in particular, this organization, mr. volodymyr well, due to lack of time, i have to ask you one last question, i wanted to ask about the un, but you already answered about the un, but please tell me, what have you and i talked about repeatedly during our conversation with you there was already enough about the end of putin and now considering let us update it, taking into account everything that is happening now, the powerful weapon that we are receiving is the western coalition, which supports us, in one word, the world is for us, everyone is waiting for our victory and we are sure that this victory will be , what will be the end of putin now, he will simply die, he will be betrayed i don't know if he will sit in prison for many years. what do you think? well, you see, such a prediction is a thankless thing, because in many things, i definitely can't say now, but we can say that russia has confidently come out on

the trajectory of its collapse seems to me to be already obvious even to die-hard putin-lovers and russian-lovers and other people because what is happening today is a convincing evidence that ukrainian troops will expel the kupants from our land, this will cause a political earthquake in russia we cannot yet predict the consequences of the federation. but we can say that it will be about changing at least the political regime, and therefore the fate of this is not up to the führer, who is actually putting the world on the brink of a world war, i think. that his end will be natural - that is, if he is an officer, the last patron, as they say, knows what to do with him
