[000:00:00;00] i would like to discuss with you this possible change in the behavior of lukashenka himself. well, for example, during his last meeting with putin, many people , including me, in particular, thought that lukashenka's behavior in relation to putin became, you know, more defiant. well, that's it. i couldn't not come. and i couldn't disagree . well, there are such incidents . lukashenko didn't seem like that to you, and you know that his mood changes like that. i'm your best friend . i have money. i don't know you. yes, this is a man of incredible cynicism, we are all this we saw and observed and we understand very well that eh his situation now ah where his own political survival and his own power is much more important to him than

putin's foreign policy goals or even the season of piniya or europe he deals with himself personally with himself personally eh that's why что мы слышим всё это надо прессигать precisely from this point of view of his personal political survival and about survival , of course, we understand that ah-ah lukashenko is a dictator so any sociological polls in belarus are hardly conducted or can be measured in any way to determine how society treats lukashenka, how realistic is it, well, there were elections that showed that he lost, he lost, for what reason are you a big politician, gray to whom? yes, he lost to svetlana tikhanovskaya, who was just the wife of a popular blogger, he lost those elections, he lost popularity among belarusians, he uh

, he was forced to suppress the protest and millions of protests by belarusians, uh, of people who went out into the street and now he gathered another tactic, he realized that he could no longer be popular a politician, a popular dictator, he simply decided to be the director of the prison, and the director of the prison is not obliged to be afraid of him, that is why we continue to have political courts , er, absolutely insane laws are passed, where you can be imprisoned for 10 years for liking and er , that's where operations are carried out such as the detention of hundreds of teenagers who decided to gather in a merchant. and in general, what concerns the internet , access to objective information, as it is now in belarus, are there any restrictions or are they imposed

by the government of belarus, the use of others is prohibited sources of information, not state filters, can be for new ones, he went, there are chinese filters, and uh, many information resources are opened only through vpn, and not all belarusians know how to use them, therefore , yes, separately, belarus, as well as russia , by the way, they are in the information bank , this is true mr. andreeva, i want a slightly different topic, i want everything, this visit does not give me peace, and uh, and it is going on everywhere, what do you think , is it possible that such people as tokayev, such as lukashenko they can turn to the president with a proposal to delete putin from the general scheme, well, it seems to me that he is ready right now, he is, to put it mildly, putin is not close, and

to put it mildly, putin humiliated him in front of the whole of russia, he said that he would never recognize either the dpr or the lpr uh, yes, and thus he simply gave uh, a public purse, and then blocked uh, all kinds of sanctions supplies. yes, it seems to me that uh, this one is ready to surrender putin directly. today, lukashenko has a slightly different situation. and who will support him ? get rid of putin, who will support lukashenko the authorities of europe do not consider him to be a legitimate president of ukraine . i do not consider him a legitimate president of belarus. of a political figure how lukashenko if indeed

the issue will become a serious agreement in the united states and europe eh yes and here is how it will manifest itself if indeed lukashenko stands in front of the zimpin were reached of a greater agreement than just some such trading ones as we will understand that the patron has changed, there are hundreds and thousands of chinese businessmen who suddenly want to do business in belarus it's not a nuclear threat, it's not a threat, it's not stupid, let's use soft power, it's when, uh, suddenly you go out into the street and there are chinese signs and

chinese goods in the stores, if we see this in belarus, it will become clear that lukashenko has the patron has changed well, i wouldn't consider it seriously because belarus is a very small market, it's 9 million people, i don't know, it's an average chinese village, you know, and why are the not the richest for china, eh , the market of the european union and the united states is much more important, that's where it will decide who walks и россии и белоруссии in the negotiations between the chinese government and the soy states и европы п andriyu, and while lukashenko went to china , the belarusian opposition did not waste time either, and in belgium in brussels, such an informal mission for a democratic belarus was opened and this mission will represent the interests of the united belarusian opposition. what do you know about this

mission , what tasks will it rely on? the most important ones are to represent the belarusian people because the belarusian people are against the war, the belarusian people are against lukashenko, the belarusian people are for the european future of belarus, and the actual task is that these requests of europe are heard, i must say that a huge number of the most diverse belarusian policemen, many of them were with you, others were not, nevertheless, they are fighting for ukraine to be given as much weapons as possible and ukraine to receive as much support as possible, because we all perfectly understand that in reality the fate of belarus is now being decided in ukraine, i would like to clarify one last thing. can you tell me when

the presidential elections are planned in belarus and who can claim the presidential seat besides the self- proclaimed lukashenka? the mistakes of the 20th year and there will be one filet. well, at most with your son, you understand, because any person who appears there, even a chair or a spitz or a horse, any other candidate will win the elections in the 25th year , we will monitor, maybe until then everything a very short question will be changed to andriy, the united belarusian opposition is very popular here, the popular three words of the regiment are some usyak linovsky, who, uh, fights

for ukraine, too. please tell me if activists are expected in this united opposition in particular, which will represent this one the glorious half of course and i, here is my conviction. what exactly are the activists of the kalinovskogo regiment and the kalinovskogo regiment itself and other belarusian associations that are now fighting for the freedom of ukraine and belarus, including that it is they who will make up the guests of the new political class in belarus, that is, the er, the fighters are the ones who will eventually become the new government , that is why it is so important to support them and so important to help them . what was involved andrii kureichyk, a member of the coordination council of the belarusian position, among other things, mentioned lukashenka's visit to china, russia continues to pay an exorbitant price for

the war waged against ukraine, the decrease in the volume of trade in energy resources, the outflow of the working population and the immeasurable increase in the cost of living, these are the current realities of the existence of the russian federation, more details about the losses the aggressor countries in the war will see more than 150,000 killed lost the troops of the russian federation at the beginning of the full-scale invasion about 450 more 000 russian soldiers were wounded , according to the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine, the total number of human combat losses of russia reached

100%." ukrainian air defense systems eliminated 2,058 drones, meanwhile, the russian economy also suffers losses. in january, the deficit of the federal budget of the russian federation reached one and 76 hundredths of a trillion rubles, about 25.5 billion dollars, which is actually

half of the annual figure of 2022. for the whole of last year, the deficit was about 3 .3 trillion rubles are now daily expenses of the russian budget is one and a half times higher than the planned indicators of 120 billion rubles instead of 80, as calculated by routers analysts, only the revenues of gazprom from fuel sales abroad in january could fall to 3.4 billion , compared to six whole and three tenths of billions , as was the case a year ago, in russia's income from oil exports in january fell by 36%, revenues to the russian budget from other sources, which are generally called non-oil and gas , compared to january of last year, decreased by 28%. according to analysts, the total losses of the russian federation due to external

sanctions exceeded 500 billion dollars the lion's share of these losses frozen foreign exchange reserves of the russian federation at least 300 billion dollars outflow of capital from the aggressor country abroad increased by 143 billion dollars last year lost from unreceived import of goods and services from unfriendly countries estimated at at least 50 billion dollars experts say that in terms of each russian, the losses due to sanctions have reached 3.5 thousand dollars and are growing rapidly. besides, every citizen of russia has already paid directly or indirectly for the unleashed war, in addition, every citizen of russia has already directly or indirectly paid for the war unleashed by putin

at least 50,000 rubles, almost $700. and how it happens, you will find out in the future, we have a comment by the byraktar here, he got somewhere, here we see a hole, he sewed the batteries, he sewed the battery charge of the tanks, and our reliable

brother came from america, get to know him. let us use this very effective thing. i think that it is in well, somewhere in 2014, the air

would be much freer with us ihor cossack, military and political expert, ottawa, washington, reserve officer of the canadian armed forces, public figure, mr. igor, welcome to the air. congratulations, the aid packages that are now being sent to us, where are they? well, mainly ammunition, these are support packages or development packages, these are packages of both support and development packages, if you look at discussions that today were at the highest level in the european union were about the allocation of an additional one billion dollars by the european union for ammunition and ukraine directly, it

was about artillery shells of 155 mm caliber at the same time, at the same time, there was a conversation about the need to increase the production of munitions in general in europe by at least three times, at least three times, so it is now about helping the country, what is needed most now and on the battlefield, but it is also about long-term help and development production and ammunition of other weapons at a fairly fast pace to support ukraine not only now , but in the long term, taking into account the organization of the event , including the countries of the european union. how quickly do you think it will be possible to increase the volume of munitions production, they are already being born, i agree with you that here the west was probably not completely ready for this war, all the bureaucratic procedures took a little more than necessary, but this increase is

already taking place in all nato countries all the countries of the western world at a rather fast pace, unfortunately in the west, as it is already historically, we know that the west reacts quite slowly to look at events even from the time of the second world war, when, for example, there is a signal about the threat that europe to the free world, he carries nazi germany and the dictator until hitler, but still the west was not ready to wage such a full-scale war, but when this war did begin, the pace began to increase rapidly and reached the volume to achieve victory, this is exactly what we are observing now mr. igor, we are now communicating with you in ukraine already on friday, march 3, yes , march 3. i am not wrong. but in the united states of america, it is still march 2. why am i talking about this when the americans wake up tomorrow and

we will find out about the next aid package which america will give us, in particular. this was reported directly by john kirby the day before, and this aid is very important for us . mr. igor, in your opinion, what will be included in this aid package , the white house has not disclosed what exactly, but nevertheless, let's just imagine and try to present you know what it could be, i won't speculate because i also don't know all the details of what will be in this package from what i understand uh, there are uh , closed parts of this package that will never be disclosed, they will only appear on the battlefield and will bring surprise, the russian federation will hire them there, but as far as i know, those systems that are now most necessary on the field are also being considered , the same projectiles are the same additional projectiles for the gaimars systems, i.e. additional javelina stinger, which are needed to

stop the currently increasing russian aggression we see certain and restoration on the battlefield and in order to also prepare ukraine for the counterattack which we hope will take place this spring . please, in your opinion, what task can be solved with this amount and this quality of help, look, any help from ukrainians is needed now, it is not regardless of whether it is a large amount or an insignificant amount and when it comes to help with soviet-style weapons, and there is not much left in central eastern europe, because most of what was already there was transferred to ukraine, as we

speak now, 10 mig-29 aircraft. yes , these are soviet-made aircraft, but they are now used in ukraine. they are needed of the air force of ukraine we also say that when these 10 aircraft will be provided, i am sure that slovakia will make a positive decision, it has already been almost made, but it has not been officially announced that this package includes a significant amount of spare parts for the e-e mig-29 aircraft, which are now the ukrainian air force is not enough. yes, i think that it is still a significant help from the air force of ukraine, mr. igor. i wanted to clarify from your colleague, our domestic military expert. i heard that this amount of modernized

myths, you can almost solve the problem with the black sea fleet, do you agree with this, that is, such a large-scale task is large-scale , of course , the suffering is large-scale. ukraine could effectively develop a counteroffensive and go to the borders of the year 91 by liberating all the currently occupied ukrainian lands in ukraine , after all , fourth-generation western aircraft will be needed, after all, it is about f16 eh, we are talking about these, this issue is being considered, it is still a final solution, but it would be the most effective platform for solving eh tasks that are currently on the agenda for the air forces of ukraine and the armed forces of ukraine, first of all , this is a powerful platform e- e f16 multi-purpose aircraft that can shoot down enemy targets in the air and support the offensive of naval forces or on the ground forces to conduct hostilities

e secondly, these aircraft have now been launched from all western platforms of multi-purpose the largest is of the order of 400, and the third is that there are a lot of them in the west now, because they are most of the countries that have them, they are now or are already replacing these planes. the most modern such parts of the fifth generation are the f-35 . and there are a lot of spare parts for them, and on the fourth, it is probably much easier to train ukrainian specialist pilots on them than to do it on such systems as the eurofighter. still, i believe that ukraine needs such a thing in 16 and we in the west are the ones who lobby and actively interests in ukraine, we are currently working to resolve this issue. i still believe that it will be resolved positively . igor, we are currently talking about the help that ukraine needs, which is provided by our partners. i

would like to switch the focus of attention to russia, the aggressor country. and to talk about weapons and, in particular, about tanks in this country , an economist has prepared an article in which she writes that russia does not have time to manufacture tanks, that this process is 10 times slower in them than the destruction of tanks in ukraine and in the same way, journalists describe the situation under the spotlight when russia lost a lot of its tanks and the ukrainian military says that at least 130 tanks mr. igor how did it happen that the second army of the world does not have time to make tanks and deliver them to the front what is missing when they were deceived see when it comes to the so-called second most powerful largest army in the world the army of the russian federation is a big myth during the last 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union russia with the help of its

propaganda especially the last 22 years when vladimir putin and his mafia structures were about power, they very, very successfully deceived the whole world, and their friends and enemies, about how powerful their armed forces are, as the events of the last 12 months have shown, this myth was fully developed, we saw that those 10,000 tanks that were in service, many of them were not, many of them were generally obsolete, not capable of combat, and even the best connections that have modernized t-72 tanks or even questionnaires - and 90 of them are not, they do not perform their tasks on the battlefield because that they cannot resist modern western weapons, for example, the same british anti-tank or american javelin systems, regardless of how many tanks russia has or how many

they can produce, e.e. from javelin enlaves, it has nowhere to hide on the battlefield. ukraine you mentioned in your programs that the first two leopards have already arrived in ukraine and this will be the number of increasing increasing with mykola, the last time we spoke with you , canada announced four tanks, i left said that there will be more, i have already allocated an additional four of them, they have been prepared and this package will be increased , the leopard tanks are already on the battlefield again, this is not a comparison with the russian tanks now, so the issue here is not in quantity, here it is an issue in quality, but they manufacture all tanks because there is nothing left for them to do, they do not have the latest technologies, there is no way to oppose western modern technologies or skills on the battlefield, the armed forces of ukraine now or then are in the military spirit of combat that is in ukraine now, with what tenacity the armed forces

ukrainians are fighting, they can put only two things first, they can, as the events of the last 12 months have already shown, the whole of russia, the whole history of russian soldiers, they can simply throw wave after wave of human reserves into this meat grinder and secondly, they they can just throw away that outdated technique that they have. there is nothing to offer them now, so in principle they have no way out, but i think this issue for them will be resolved positively and it may drag out this conflict a little, but victory will definitely be by of ukraine, unequivocally p igor, thank you very much for including ihor cossack, a military and political expert from washington, a reserve officer

of the canadian armed forces, a public figure, he was with us just now. 5th morning, a year of goodbyes , a year of pain that changed our lives forever, a year of how we fight in the dark with bright hearts, we were given two days and we stood together, a year of recognition , a country of heroes, a country of the brave, we inspire we fall in love we fight we believe in freedom we believe in ourselves and our victory we are the only one we do not
