[000:00:00;00] we continue the most since the beginning of the full-scale war loss of manpower and acorns . the village of novoselivske in the luhansk region, the occupiers are closing in on the position of the 92nd brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, lately this has been happening along the entire front line, ukrainian soldiers say, attacking the russians in small groups they 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 bahmut, assault actions

are taking place on the southwestern outskirts of my territory, on the southeastern outskirts and on the northern outskirts, the situation remains tense, but i want to assure you of a controlled reserve to change the situation at the operational, and even more so at the strategic level , the enemy does not currently have, military expert serhiy zgurets believes, adding that without a second wave of mobilization, the russians will not be able to strengthen escalation, but they still significantly outweigh the number of manpower and currently weapons, so in ukraine it is necessary to change tactics in order to break the course of hostilities from a hard front line and try , relatively speaking, 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 this counteroffensive that we now expect 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 now the main issue for us in the near future is to break this clinch imposed by the russian side and to move to the approaches of mobile defense of mobile contrast or that actually requires new trained brigades with new weapons and new tactics and strategy , the coming weeks will be especially difficult for the ukrainian military to counteroffensive the armed forces of ukraine can technically be ready no sooner than in two months, stressed the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov the so-called special operation in ukraine has become for russia the country with the largest losses in the past several decades. the terrorist has never announced its real combat defeats, however , more invaders have 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 during the afghan war , almost 14 and a half thousand soviet soldiers were killed, the soviet union also lost about 2,000 units of heavy equipment in the two chechen wars, according to russia, almost 13,000 soldiers were killed, although independent experts other figures are given, 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 according to georgian data but about 400 occupiers in a year of full-scale war, the ukrainian military eliminated about 145 thousand russians, more than 3,300 tanks, more than six and a half thousand armored vehicles, 18 ships and

almost 600 airplanes and helicopters. states of america in europe by ben hodges you are watching spatlets crane ukrainian version thank you for the honor thank you for being with us , a member of the heads of the intelligence department of the minister of defense of ukraine kyrylo budanov believes that the main battles will end by the end of spring and the ukrainian army has every chance to occupy crimea this summer. positive thinking are these really real forecasts and it's nice to hear that first no what can't be achieved if you think negatively therefore really positive thinking from leadership seeing potential intelligence scenarios and i am really convinced that crimea can also be bought until the end of the plane. but of course, the exceptional courage

of ukrainian soldiers, such as we saw in the bakhmut region, will be necessary in order to launch a counter- offensive. to start the reconquest of crimea in the summer, taking into account the fact that an examination 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 wants to rebuild its economy and as long as crimea is under occupation according to according to strengthen increase efforts actually before russia tries to implement the next wave of offensive, a lot of changes are happening in the russian rear, the russian military, the so-called separatists in donbas, so they already have them there is no such enthusiasm to continue the struggle, and therefore, in principle, it is quite possible to liberate crimea first and then move on to the liberation of donbas, thank you, now let's talk about putin, i don't want to, but we have to , putin continues and what a world with his nuclear

narratives, then declared that russia is suspending the treaty on strategic offensives weapons , what is putin preparing for and what will be his next steps and of course, this is another signal that russia is subservient to putin, it is not a reliable partner for negotiations and of course, it is technically possible to expect only one-sided implementation of the contract, or you are in the contract or something like it, that is, in principle , these are typical russian actions, so they wanted and withdrew from the grain agreement that was guaranteed by turkey, that is, in fact, nothing new. something important is being prepared. these are simply russia's attempts to somehow

put pressure on the west, to cause a certain split in the unity of the collective west, with such illogical statements, they are polite, they are grasping at straws and doing it by playing its public armament so, the usa is discussing with other allied countries the issue of supplying military aircraft to ukraine, does this mean that ukraine is finally getting these fighter jets and how do such aircraft change the situation on the battlefield yes, i hope i said something similar er, i spoke with officials and back

in 2015 she managed to provide q and q 304 radar and accordingly she is quite a serious person, i fully 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 for now the decision has not been made. we can already start 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 you can start training now. and the decision will not take long , thank you. the politician notes that in january william burns, director of the cia, warned volodymyr

zelensky encouraged a faster advance on the battlefield, because the scale of military aid may fall, or can ukraine move to the counteroffensive as soon as possible, as i think that the ukrainians will move to the counteroffensive as soon as possible and also i hope for the ukrainian general staff in terms of 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 all they understand 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, which the event will provide, 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 therefore 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 so that they concentrate on one area, they do not put pressure on the general staff to act in yes yes in five instead of the armed forces they are focused hope

in one direction where they can break through the defense of the enemy, so until 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 russia with weapons, how would this change the situation on the battlefield, i think that china is now in a very interesting position, so they warned russia not to use nuclear weapons, but at the same time i think that they would like us, ukraine and the usa, to be defeated and that is why of course they want to avoid any sanctions they are trying to balance in this

dimension and that is why i think that 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 of intelligence and a very smart intelligent pairing of information thank you mr. gadget for this interview he slava ukraine usa was a guest of the program spotlight ukraine about the most important things that happened in the world related to ukraine, our

international columnist yuriy fizer americansky will tell president joe biden made a speech on the occasion of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, the american leader addressed the world in connection with russian aggression and 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 all of us, visit to kyiv 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. when we spoke yesterday in kyiv, 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 seek the finnishization of nato and you will get the nationalization of finland and it turns out that i did not know that sweden would also come but jokes in side 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 heroic fight against russian aggression continues in the digest, the un general assembly by an overwhelming majority of votes 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 a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, with 141 votes from the delegation, with 32 abstentions, in particular , the iranian state and china, and seven countries opposed belarus, north korea , eritrea, raspberry, ragua, series and, of course, russia , together with ukraine, more than 70 countries presented the draft resolution, in which they persistently call on the russian federation immediately and unconditionally withdraw all its troops from the territory of ukraine. china did publish the so-called peace plan for the political settlement of the war between russia

and 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 people's republic of china believes that it is necessary to maintain the safety of nuclear energy, the economy, guarantee the export of grain and promote post-war reconstruction in its document of the ministry of foreign affairs of china calls the war a crisis and calls for an end to unilateral sanctions ammunition for heimer 155 mm artillery shells and equipment for demining the pentagon announced a new package of defense aid to ukraine worth 2 billion dollars, drones and unmanned aerial vehicles will also be included in it, in addition, the united states will finance the training of the ukrainian military and the maintenance of weapons the biden administration plans to provide our state with up to 250 million dollars for the restoration of energy, since

someday there will be no more, we cannot allow russia is chipping away at pieces from our security and therefore must break the cycle of russian aggression , nato secretary general janstonberg said about this on wednesday during the meeting of the heads of state of the bucharest nine in poland, and according to him, the north atlantic alliance must now do everything to prevent similar aggression from russia in the future there was no more china provides non-lethal military aid to russia during the aggressive war in ukraine, but beijing does not reject the option of sending weapons to russia as well about this us secretary general anthony blinken gave an interview to 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 the terrible, and at the same time the chief diplomat of the us warned his chinese colleague that if china does start sending weapons to russia, then this will have a very negative impact on american -chinese relations. the european union should

introduce a ceiling price for russian liquefied gas by analogy with oil. this statement was made by the minister of foreign affairs estonia's urvas rein fat 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 reduce the maximum price for russian oil from $60 per barrel to $30 and about most importantly, i spoke with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine 2007-2009 volodymyr mogryskyi and asked his professional opinion mr. volodymyr i congratulate you thank you for joining glory to ukraine very good health mr. volodymyr well 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 not the most important . there was already a lot of talk about it. less was said about joe biden's visit to poland. for ukraine, and can we say that it was historic for europe ? i think so, and i will tell you why. because the statement made by the president of the united states in warsaw showed two things, it seems to me. the first one was that uh, and hmm, jobelin actually repeated this after speaking in kyiv that ukraine would not remain and that the collective action of the civilized world would help ukraine to victory, and the second that uh, the eastern flank, the eastern flank of nato, that is,

the countries of the eastern of central europe are gaining more and more weight, and i see deep symbolism in this, because this, in my opinion , shows that without future membership in ukraine, er, this very eastern flank of the gnat will be completely incomplete, and i think that we should be used with only one purpose to push some of our western partners to make decisions faster, it is obvious that we cannot now talk about joining nato until the end of the war until the victorious end of the war on the side of ukraine, but for the next the day after that we have to ask the question ruba. what do you think? you already said that the eastern flank heard joe biden, did he agree with joe biden, or

did the collective event hear joe biden? to analyze the statements of our uh a little bit further to the western partners and the main thing is not even the statements. and their actions, we can come to the conclusion that after all uh what we have been trying to talk about for a very long time and convey to the minds of our western colleagues is really look how seriously the positions of the two leading countries of western europe, germany and france, have changed from the absolute unwillingness to take any very specific steps and measures to help real help began after all, from the medical tents there are some packages and so on and so on and today it

is highly accurate and very powerful, so i think that these specific practical actions indicate that this psychological rubicon is in including our western partners, let's remember the visit that took place this very week of the premiere of italy with the confirmation that we , italians, will be side by side with you in spite of everything that even in coalition people who love putin very much, but in no way won't change the position of italy, er, in order to help ukraine. so, i think that this hack has actually already happened. okay, mr. volodymyr, well, look, joe biden came to europe, visited ukraine, visited poland, he left europe, and what happened in europe

also happened this week. well, this is not a very good event. i would say it is the osce parliamentary assembly of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. at this parliamentary assembly, there was a delegation from russia. moreover, this delegation danced a waltz. please tell me the security organization. and cooperation in europe well, okay, not co-operation, but just security, does it have the right to exist after that, you know, er, there are two aspects, er, the first, er, the first aspect , fought absolutely correctly, er, they noted, er, that this organization is effective, unfortunately no . and i have been talking about this 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 no practical actions, and this platform was born can't well, the same actually it also applies to the un if you take it as a whole and more generally, this regional structure is universal, but these structures that were laid down when they were created turned out to be ineffective, that is, these organizations really do not work, so that after the victory, and this will be one of the key tasks. it seems to me that the task we must set before ourselves will be to think about the reconstruction of the global world order and the rethinking of the role of certain tools of this order, because those that exist today demonstrate that they are useless not able but

there is another aspect here, why austria, which is friendly to us, allowed this russian showdown to take place in the folburg in the center of vienna, and here the question is definitely to our austrian partners, who covered themselves with a fig leaf, it's very sad to say, because i worked for five for five years as an ambassador in this country, it's very sad that the austrians decided to play along with the aggressors, because the predecessors of the osce , i mean the previous chairmanship, and that's it poland was simply not released visas despite the fact that the austrian presidency, that the polish one, that any other have the same rights, unfortunately, in this respect , you know, it feels like a certain

union of budapest and vienna, and it is well, in my opinion, it just disgraces the lofty goals of this organization in particular, 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 more than once. they said er during the conversation, which you and i already had quite a bit a lot about the end of putin and now considering let's update it considering everything that is happening now, the powerful weapon that we are getting is the western coalition that 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 with he will simply die, he will be betrayed. i don't know if he will be in prison for many years

. what do you think? well, you see, such a prediction is a thankless thing, because we definitely can't say about many things right now, but we we can say that russia is confidently on the path to its collapse, it seems to me that it is already obvious even for staunch putin-lovers and russian-lovers and other lovers, because what is happening today is a convincing evidence that the ukrainian troops will expel the buyers from our land, this will cause a political earthquake in the russian federation, we cannot yet predict its consequences . but we can say that it will be about a change of at least the political regime, and therefore the fate of this is not up to the führer, who is actually

puts the world on the brink of a world war, i think that his ending will be natural, if he is an officer, the last patron, as they say, knows what to do with him, or if he is not an officer , he will simply be weighed and he will live out his life, unfortunately, in a rather comfortable camera. hmm, in the gas. well, it seems to me that the prospects for this drawback are like this. and this is how it will be, mr. volodymyr. i completely agree with you, and the most important thing is that it will be our victory, which we together with with our partners and allies, we bring each one closer afternoon thank you very much, mr. volodymyr, for participating in our program. thank you, mr. yuri, thank you for 2009. volodymyr ogrisko. we talked with him about joe biden's visas to ukraine and

europe, about the osce, and of course about russian aggression. well, i continue. pope francis called the russian war in ukraine absurd and cruel, he said this during a meeting with pilgrims in the vatican , the meeting takes place every wednesday, the pontiff emphasized that the number of dead , wounded, refugees, internally displaced persons, destruction and economic losses speaks for itself, can god forgive so many crimes and so much violence, and have we done enough to stop this war, asked the pope and added, "and what exactly are we listening to? in direct language, i appeal to those who have power over countries to make specific efforts to end the conflict to achieve a cease-fire and start peace talks victory built on ruins will never be real video but japan

is the real riot on the coast of the land of the sun that the rising sea threw a mysterious metal ball to the spot, military personnel and law enforcement officers immediately arrived and immediately surrounded the place of the find, but scientists examined the ball with the help of x-rays , so far no one can say what it is. the authorities of the country reported that the find does not pose a threat to the lives of local residents version, it could be a buoy that broke from the anchor, in a few days the bullet will be taken from the beach for a more detailed study and in conclusion, what do you think would be the best dish for the president of the aggressor country vladimir putin as the last meal before his execution for the crimes he committed in ukraine, the answer to this question was given by the ukrainian chef yevgeny klopotenko, you are interested, then take
