[000:00:00;00] well, they have to somehow land in moldova from space, because on the territory of romania, on the territory of ukraine , they will not be able to reach moldova, and secondly , the airport in tiraspol is blocked, but no one is there will not be able to land, and even if they can land, vole will destroy this airport because we have artillery that is aimed at this airport and a hub of the second caliber that will be able to destroy it. in if there is such a desire to land landings, it is quiet. but this is excluded because the planes are also tracked, i doubt that someone will reach dakyshnyav, especially

the helicopter, and our operation is excluded because ukraine is reliable and protects us, thank you, mr. minister anatol shalarov, the ex-minister of defense of moldova , was in touch with us, they talked about the situation in unrecognized transnistria and why the russian federation continues informational dances with tambourines around this territory of moldova directly. well, in general, about the foreign policy course of this country for the near future eh, eh, eh, in the usa, media reports have been confirmed that china is discussing the possibility of providing russia with lethal military aid, which can be directed to support aggression in ukraine. in an interview with the american television channel nbc and we are extremely concerned that china is considering the possibility of providing lethal support to russia in its aggression against ukraine, i

clearly stated that this will lead to serious consequences, particularly in our relations about this the president also spoke during his several meetings with xi jinping , meanwhile, the director of the national central intelligence agency, william burns, said that the military failures of the russian federation in ukraine had a great impact on the leader of the people's republic of china, xi jinping, this is stated in an interview with cbc news , according to the director cia, the chinese leader is not the only one there who is closely watching the development of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine. i think that in many ways he was concerned and sobered by the fact that i saw, i think he was surprised by the very low military

performance of the russians, burns said , adding that siedenpinig was probably also surprised by the level of solidarity of western countries in supporting ukraine in its resistance to russian aggression. he was talking about china around the chinese issue. study of the army, conversion and disarmament. glory to ukraine and yuri. congratulations to the heroes. well, how to start our conversation , or rather your analysis. i would like to start with the fact that is called the chinese formula of peace. so we understand that in fact there is nothing special in this paper. but it is possible that the doctors who are prescribed there are supported by this or that chinese will to implement something. it will be possible to implement something because, first of all, there is nothing new here, so there is almost nothing new whatever china says i officially and unofficially as

in various meetings and in statements the ministry of foreign affairs, for example, on february 26, 2022, two days after the full-scale invasion , china published the ministry of foreign affairs of china published the so-called five-point position of china regarding the ukrainian crisis, in which half of these 12 points of this so-called chinese peace plan have already it was about the need to respect territorial sovereignty, the integrity of all countries, it is necessary to abandon the mentality of the cold war for nato, it is not necessary to expand and so on, it is necessary to stop hostilities and to return to the negotiations , it is necessary to cancel the sanctions imposed by russia.

in a different form, it was also indicated whether they led to russia stopping its hostilities . it is necessary to observe something. that is why this story appeared just now. peking messenger traveled half of europe to kyiv. in fact, he did not bother to fly over, or stop by, but in in any case, the initiative appeared again in an expanded format and they held certain consultations at a fairly high level actually this is still a question and we are trying to answer it at the moment there are two main versions which we are considering which we are studying the first version - it consists in the fact that the whole world actually demands from china some kind of constructive position in relation to the russian -russian-ukrainian war, and this is, in principle , absolutely adequate, absolutely normal. what if even china does not want to be involved in to mediation or to some consultations, he can simply give an answer to his position, do you want some

diplomatic settlement from me, please have a diplomatic settlement for you, if you cannot fulfill it , then this is sorry for your problems, that is, it can be simply as a diplomatic such and such a move by china which in in principle does not lead to and there are no intentions to implement, but on the other hand, another very interesting very interesting hypothesis that we currently have and we are studying it , we are trying to understand how true it is, this is what is actually behind behind these actions of china is some kind of plan, not so much a settlement, but some kind of strategic plan that china could do why because several countries have already supported this plan and china is currently working very intensively with other countries to get diplomatic support is the russian federation, it is belarus, it is iran, and such actions of china, they arise from my point of view of concern from the fact that china

may promote some other initiatives , for example, it may try to promote this the plan, half of which is actually against ukrainian national interests, but on the other hand, china can provide some material support at the same time while maintaining such a diplomatic diplomatic appearance that china is such a peaceful country and is trying to find a peaceful way. versions of yuriy as to china's thoughts on whether or not to provide armed support to moscow , whether china can really consider such a possibility now and whether it is important that one from the versions, china is already helping the russian federation through the dprk, for example, for example, i think it is absolutely possible that china is considering such a possibility of providing the russian federation with military-technical support in one form or another. if anthony damn

talks about it, it means that he probably has some kind of intelligence information and his allies accordingly can demand the provision of this intelligence because this is a very serious statement so i think that if he said that he is willing to share the information and eh and the secretary general of nato from tovtenberg also said that china is probably considering such a possibility, this means that the united states of america shared this information with your allies about that a series of such a series of discussions with chinese with chinese experts who are affiliated with the ministry of foreign affairs at different times, it was about the whole of well last year in the summer of last year in the fall of last year and we saw how they tried to understand

the situation on the battlefield and how they tried to understand how to act in china, because at that time the chinese still thought that ukraine would lose, for example, they did not understand why ukraine would win, they asked why you would win, you have much less resources , much less equipment, tanks, planes and so what’s next for you well , it’s been a long time since we lost it in the spring of last year in the summer . inflict a strategic defeat on the russian federation, but not yet, well, no, not very likely, but maybe that's why they also paid attention to the fact that the defeat of the russian federation for them will be a very serious, in fact, a geopolitical problem for the people's republic of china, so i do not exclude that that the chinese side is currently studying how to respond to a possible defeat of the russian federation, and it is possible

to provide military-technical assistance, so i think it is quite likely that mr. yuri is going to visit beijing ursula von der liang yes, the head of the european commission and the president of the european council, charles michel. what do you think they will take to heaven now? i think that one of the main issues is, of course, the strategic deterrence of china from providing any kind of material, military, military-technical support. for example, we communicated with experts on china from leading european research institutes centers and they are also, in principle, of the earthly generation in this. and they are on the same page as us, because at the moment it is necessary to express very clear diplomatic support for ukraine and a very clear e-e position from of the european union of individual countries of the european union that any provision of military military-technical assistance by china to russia will simply lead

to the destruction of the economic and technological relations between china and the european union, and this position must be made very clear because if china is currently reassessing his strategic calculations regarding the possible provision of military aid to russia, it is very important to convince the chinese not to do so before he makes such a decision , including on the application of ukrainian the diplomacy of american diplomacy, the diplomacy of other countries, what is currently being done very intensively by the united states of america and the european union , on the other hand, the belarusian dictator lukashenko, rushaivka of the people's republic of china for a meeting with sydzenpin, among the topics , the response to acute challenges in the modern international environment is declared, and there are two assumptions about what exactly, at least two such assumptions what exactly lukashenko and others can say, it is possible that this will be the veiling of the same

armed assistance from china and in fact the use of belarus as a spacer, we will to say in this scheme, and on the other hand, lukashenko may have his own interests in the context of some agreements with china, in particular, in case something goes wrong with the russian federation , and your fellow analysts also talked about it. i don't know how much you can agree with this, but lukashenko can allegedly look for certain connections and points of contact with china now in order to get stability in belarus, how does he see it, your opinion. i think that the second version is less likely because what we see is how belarus eh communicates with china and how china behaves in the so-called post-soviet space, the people's republic of china, it really respects the spheres of influence, and despite the fact that it says that it is necessary to abandon the cold war mentality

, nato should not expand slowly and so on, but chinese chinese geopolitics consists precisely in the formation of spheres of influence, and in fact between russia and china at the moment, according to our observations, a rather serious consensus has been reached that the post-soviet space is a sphere of influence china and we are very close to you, we see very vivid examples when crises arise despite a very serious economic e let's say the involvement of china in the region when crises arise china actually keeps silent and when the russian ukrainian war arose when the punishment arose please war when in nagorno karabakh when there were other crises. china, in fact, it does not intervene because china can provide lukashenko with such additional support in the event of any problems with russia. i

honestly doubt it, but regarding the fact that lukashenko can really er really try to communicate with china to receive military aid, including for russia, as you said, such a state, such a third country and a third country to be laid, i think it is quite likely, considering it on several facts on several aspects, firstly between china and belarus have very serious developed military-technical ties, they once called each other iron brothers , for example, one of the missile systems of the anti-aircraft operational-tactical missile complexes polonaise is actually on which is located on belarusian weapons are created with the help of chinese technologies. with the help of chinese companies, this is firstly and secondly . of course, if china carries out such a reassessment of its involvement in the provision of assistance, then it would be logical through belarus. i do not think that lukashenka came in order to discuss

the opening of confucius institutes or the development of humanitarian ties or even economic ties, the russian-ukrainian war is currently such a major issue in the politics of both belarus and china of the people's republic thank you, mr. yuriy, always a high-quality analyst, yuriy poite, head of the section of the asian pacific region of the center for the study of the army, conversion and disarmament. well, we are now moving on in the plot . this is how it used to be. of the espresso channel went to fight at the front about the daily exploits of military journalists . as a child in her early youth, a journalist, now a military officer, tetyana chornovol, tells how

she had a premonition of the invasion of ukraine. from the first days of the great war , she resolutely decided to defend ukraine. i was doing it then. i think, god, how did i manage to survive this, about the complete lack of any experience and skills. and now tatyana, the commander of the anti-tank platoon, during the year of the war, managed to visit various places of hostilities and on he sees with his own eyes how the russian tactics and strategy on the front are changing. there are a lot of military personnel. probably, but we already have less equipment , we have less equipment, and i understand that it is simply that putin has chosen such a position that he does not throw equipment forward, but throws meat women are amazing, and this is another one of our former express employees, artem shevchenko , joined the espresso team in 2014, worked on

the investigation program , and did not pass the re-certification with the author's projects, but he is honest and wants to serve on welcome to donbas during his career, artem was the director of the communication department of the ministry of internal affairs and worked on the coverage of military conflicts in the balkans, the caucasus, israel, and iraq . on february 24, he began serving as part of the defense and security forces of ukraine . september 7, by the way, it was the day of military intelligence, a professional holiday of military intelligence. the ministry of culture and information policy announced a creative competition for the creation of products that highlighted our war, artem applied for the competition because he already had the experience of creating such documentaries, immediately attempted a trilogy of three films, called them military intelligence of ukraine at sea, in the sky and on the ground in three natural

elements, we chose three operations in which the military was either fully or partially involved intelligence and tried in such a documentary-chronic but rather saturated format to show that it was a trilogy about the participation of ukrainian scouts in the air raid on the slow-moving battle for zmiiny island and counteroffensive in the kharkiv region, the author films, he hopes that viewers will soon be able to watch the tapes on ukrainian television , and they will also be available on the youtube channel of ukrainian intelligence. meanwhile, many current and former express agents continue to defend ukraine in the hottest spots, among them ilya berezenko, serhiy didenko, oleksandr kostenko , oleg yashchuk, and anastasia lya vlas blyschik vadym latysh yaroslav pidgora hvizdovskyi, to our great regret last year the war took away our colleague director vasyl yavorsky since

february 2022 he defended the eastern direction of the front, fighting mainly in donetsk region . however, despite the losses, our defenders do not tire of defending ukraine and believe in the most important thing, our victory. we thank our colleagues in particular for this story and for their service to ukraine. glory eh good day well, what do we want you to interpret the comment of national security adviser jake sullivan, who commented on the words of president joseph biden regarding the allocation of f16 to us, we understand that the stormy continues

an extremely heated discussion is not just in the american political community, but in the bowels of the presidential administration itself , but in any case there are positive signals that it seems like it's about to happen well, but valery, i have a word with you , your professional opinion is... well, we always expect from those or other messages of various kinds from the representatives of the military and political leadership of other countries , truthful answers to the questions that are of great concern to us, and of course the transfer of the same fighter jets, in particular , we are talking about in order to have all the necessary tools for the liberation of all temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, we expect to enter the internationally recognized borders of our country already this year. of course, we can say here

that the interpretation of biden's words. relate to the actual moment at which they were said, and in particular , this was said when biden was asked about what was being transferred, and he then emphasized that at the moment we are focused on transferring the transfer to the armored vehicles as soon as possible. and that at the moment, this issue is not timely, and yet these discussions are ongoing. we have seen not only the comments of, for example, the adviser on national security issues, we have also seen the statements of the representative of the congress, and in particular the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs of the chamber

, representatives of mark makko and who spoke in support of the decision to transfer the f-16 , well, it should also be noted that at the recent conference held on february 24, er , to commemorate the anniversary of the beginning of this large-scale next russian federation, president zelensky was asked about the prospects of obtaining e-e aviation equipment, and he there, let’s say, without revealing all the secrets , but still revealed some information , in particular, regarding the fact that there are currently active e-e discussions there. well, specific actions with great britain and with poland regarding the preparation of our e- of pilots, and in addition, he also said that similar processes are underway with three other countries that he did not name , and that’s all. the pilots may already be starting

training there. we understand that if not today , then in some foreseeable future we can still get fighter jets but as of today, we proceed from the fact that it is er. contour offensive actions and recapture some part of the territories occupied so far , i don't know how big it will be. let's say it is large-scale in terms of volume, but the pain publication, with reference to sources in the government circles of germany and the usa, notes that with the help of of new weapons, the west wants to give ukraine a chance to win back more occupied territories by the fall, if the counteroffensive fails, the pressure on

kyiv to negotiate with the kremlin will intensify, the publication notes . what are we talking about now, is it possible in your opinion, well, we can talk to ourselves. by the way, we should remember when we finish talking about western fighter jets that the funds for the training of united states pilots were allocated in this way last summer and we know that everything allocated there according to the budget cannot simply lie there, and it is not excluded that the training process could have already started for those pilots, and in fact the matter is that at the moment everyone can cover up these conversations

difficulties and complexities of specific decisions, but for successful deoccupation of our territories, it is necessary to have a full set of troops for offensive operations and aviation support for ground operations of troops. this is very important in order to ensure that they are not vulnerability from of the enemy's aviation well, accordingly, to inflict effective damage on the enemy to the entire operational depth, regarding the possibility of crimea being liberated, here we can consider several points, or we are getting a new aviation, that is, in principle, the one that is already there uh, where according to nato standards, but here , to be honest, there are a lot of questions

, whether we are getting reinforcement of aviation, but precisely with post-soviet models, which are also in the arsenals of uh, our partner countries, about uh, the possibility of transferring which has already repeatedly stated this and it should be said that such aircraft can be hybrid and adapted to the use of certain samples of e-e weapons of nato countries, which can also be successfully used to support the actions of whiskey strikes in the course of, for example, the same operation to liberate crimea , therefore, in essence, who needs aviation we will see, however , what our partners understand about this issue, and the discussion is intensified regarding the fact that all these modern weapons that are transferred to us

are ground-based. they must be used jointly from the air and under the conditions of air support, what can increase their efficiency to ensure that it is very effective, let's say, their effective use to achieve the goals of deoccupation of our territories, mr. valery. and what can joint american-german training in poland be like? what would this be for, so to speak, strategic coordination, or maybe they feel something . how would you rate this process of preparing for strategic exercises? well, we heard a statement from the german minister of defense about similar exercises and this er well, let's say something new below, because similar exercises take place every year on the territory of europe and

er. of course, their er . took place here on the continent, it should be assumed that last year a series of similar exercises were held by the same defender.org and the same iron wolves training that took place in the second stages, including on the territory of the baltic states when it was practiced a matter of action troops in forested local areas in the conditions of urban development , that is, they worked out all the issues that are very relevant. of course , the experience that the armed forces currently have in

the confrontation with the russian federation was taken into account. this is an echo of the security situation that has developed and, accordingly, nato countries are now doing this in order to strengthen their capabilities and not to create such conditions under which we, a potential aggressor, could understand that something can is to act with impunity against one of the members of the alliance, and here it should also mention the deployment of, for example, the second brigade of the 101st division in romania, and also the planned exercises of the same defender jurep that should take place this year on the territory of several european countries, including, for example, in albania, and well, this indicates that

that currently the partners are paying attention to all the er processes er that relate to the defense of their er in the eastern and southern flanks and these are the flanks for which the main threat is the er terrorist state of the russian federation thank you valery valery military bull expert editor of defense express worked now live on the tv channel espresso news, this informative analytical hour together with khrestyna yatskiv, we are now reformulating another, so to speak, information. an hour, we ask a colleague, well , i will tell you about the most important thing with the news team
