[000:00:00;00] will publish it, well, i'm ready to introduce my next guest and let's move on to more such military-legal issues, of course, with reference to the world and ukraine oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military-legal research mr. oleksandr greetings glory to ukraine glory to the heroes congratulations thank you very much for joining my program today. well, before i ask you the first question, i want to ask the director to show us one more graphic from the hilti publication , the hilti american publication. politically, an article was published tonight, kyiv time, about the return of crimea. and there are two or three paragraphs that represent such an important interest for us. this is what the representatives of the administration write. they repeatedly avoided the question of whether washington supports kyiv's efforts to return the annexed peninsula, postponing this

issue for later. although american officials stated that washington would support ukraine for as long as it would take to win the war, they did not want to give full support to kyiv's ambitions for crimea in part this is related to your arming with long-range radio missiles, tanks and airplanes, which will probably be needed for a successful offensive to restore control over crimea, mr. oleksandr. please tell me that this does not alarm you, because i know that the hill journalists have insider information directly from the capitalist hill that's why they write what they write, they are probably sure of what they write, it does not alarm you the fact is that the situation looks as follows, we will always say that we went through certain stages and this is also uh well, it is not that

struggle it's simple let's put it this way, the conviction of our partners that we are able to achieve e-e efforts to restore territorial integrity and sovereignty within the borders of 1991, the situation is different, the situation is the following, to date, there is an exact consensus formed regarding the fact that the ukrainian troops and - and they should get all the necessary weapons, abd, occupy the south, go to the occupied, now occupied part of kherson oblast, zaporozhye oblast, donetsk oblast, go to the administrative border with occupied crimea, and then the situation is as follows, in principle they disagree about whether or not there should be a deoccupation of crimea because no one ever recognizes crimea as russia, this is a clear and understandable position of our partners, but there are opinions about how to actually use it in order to liberate it by military means or by threatening to use force and keeping it

in fact in the blockade of the peninsula. and if ukraine , i think, or when, to be more precise, ukraine will receive the appropriate weapons and a longer range of missiles and other components in order to actually keep, well, in such to lay siege to a kind of crimea and to threaten the use of e-e force with the use of i mean these weapons against the enemy's military facilities, even using them and thus forcing russia to actually give russia an ultimatum that russia must withdraw its troops from the territory of ukraine otherwise e the russian group in crimea will be destroyed, there is another approach, which is also being discussed about the fact that it will be necessary to stop sitting at

the negotiating table there and so on. the withdrawal of troops from the east and so on, and there is another position that there are no negotiations , or putin withdraws his troops voluntarily , stops full-scale aggression against ukraine , or military actions until the restoration of territorial integrity, including crimea . crimea appears more and more often in discussions and discussions, judging from the fact that russia on the occupied peninsula, russian troops are digging in, building defensive lines, quite powerful ramparts, they are digging there, they are digging dugouts there, even on the beaches on the sea , actually risking the whole uh possible season there, which would be next year's holiday season, they are wary of the fact that they will have the ability to strike the military facilities of the russian troops in the crimea and the situation there will be quite bad, so i will tell you that from the point of view of how we are already developing the situation even

unity is not present in the opinion of the united states today, and i am almost convinced that this opinion may change when the ukrainian troops are already on the administrative border of the purchased crimea , then it will be possible to talk in the future because there were many cases, you know, when it was said that ukrainian troops have to stop somewhere, we will not be able to return, we will not be able to counterattack there, but the example of 2022 demonstrated that we will be able to return and counterattack, so the situation is in dynamics and in the end i want to emphasize the main at the moment, concluding the answer to this question , it seems that the secretary of state of the united states , anthony damn king, said that we can have some opinion, but the decision is always up to ukraine. this is what you need to remember, the decision is always up to our armed forces, that is, going back to what you just said, that is, if we

approach the administrative border with the temporarily occupied ukrainian crimea, and we will see that we can go further , the united states of america supports us, i will say i'll just correct something with your permission, not if and when we approach because it's incredible it will definitely happen i think a lot will depend on how this situation will develop, you understand after we occupy the south in general a lot that will begin to change. i think that processes will begin in russia itself, it is not excluded because they suffered such serious defeats in the south. plus, i think that the faith and confidence of western politicians in general, because ukraine is also capable of liberating crimea. it will only moods will start to grow, so i would not rule out the fact that when the ukrainian artillery of the ukrainian forces

will actually be on the border with crimea and will have the possibility of fire damage to the enemy's military facilities, and opinions will change and on the contrary, they will give us even more weapons so that we can carry out this de-occupation, i really hope not. i am sure that this will be the case when we approach the administrative border with crimea, mr. oleksandr. they are now entrenching themselves in our temporary, temporarily occupied crimea, as they are preparing for something . i read today how british intelligence wrote that during the last few months, the military leadership of russia removed from storage about 800 t-62 tanks, and these are old the tanks are still from the 60s, moreover, they are removing from storage the btr-50, this is the btr-sh from the 50s , you definitely have this information, you definitely know this , they do this because they no longer have

weapons, and if so, how much is russia now depends on concluding and negotiating with some other countries, about which we will talk a little later about giving them weapons, depending on the fact that russia, especially after the collapse of the soviet union in soviet times, was dependent on other republics , including the video of ukraine weapons production many units, and after the collapse it became dependent on many other countries, in particular european , asian and other countries, that is, russia was actually extremely integrated , this is this globalized international space, this is now putin is talking there, here is all this nonsense about the fact that there is globalization there and so on, so russia was extremely globalized in these processes now that they have lost quite a lot due to sanctions , they have lost markets, they have lost companies that would be ready

to supply them with something in the volumes that are necessary for the production of a large amount of equipment the situation is getting worse quite significantly, it is getting worse, in addition, i want to remind you that the specificity of russia is that they practically never won wars without external support, supporting themselves either with support weapons or with e resources, and so on. they always, almost always, formed certain coalitions in order to to achieve this from here , now they are so intensively looking for help from other countries, third countries and even china, north korea, because their military-industrial complex does not cope with those tasks which they put doesn't work because the system was quite corrupt for years, this time they provided many projects and pretended to be visible that they have a huge number of new weapons and so on . the second one doesn't work because of sanctions because

many elements are needed and the third does not work because there are not enough people in some places , here is one of the directors of the company that is part of the lama zentei cannery, he wrote about this in his management and the system that people are needed and even employees are not booked but sent to the front, that is, here this is the situation and that's why we're getting to the t-62 tanks, which are being removed from the storage of the russian army's air defense systems, and the btr-50. this is true, and here's an example for you . independently produce a large amount of something modern. well, the first tank army was considered an elite army, and in russia it was still quite tattered. well , it suffered a loss already during a full-scale invasion, but now it is being restored and transferred already for offensive operations in the east they are already in luhansk

region and in other places, the units are equipped mainly with mt-62 tanks , type 1.10, t-90 breakthrough or vladimir tanks are appearing, but it was supposed to be equipped with t-14 armata tanks, here are those tanks, what is wrong with the advice, eh in russia, therefore, i will say that based on the situation of the military -industrial complex of russia, they are so actively looking for help from the outside because they understand that for such a level of intensity of war as they are waging, and their rear simply cannot cope independently and with support. are you ready to give them help, let's go through the countries a little bit, let's start with china, for example, because it is very likely that great hopes are placed on cooperation with the heavenly authorities, it is obvious that this information is hidden, but there is also

intelligence information that says that this issue is being considered in china, what do you can you tell me about this? this is a very interesting situation. first of all, where did this information come from? it was announced by the us secretary of state blinken, then it was confirmed by the director of the cia, burns, in an interview with people from the channel and they hinted that this information could have been leaked from the russian side , that is, russia itself, well, in fact, there are people surrounded by the highest people who report this information in the united states - this has obviously already happened more than once, and the second time after such leaks of information. i think that the united states made a brilliant , in my opinion, brilliant action with this message because they demonstrated that there are serious leaks from the russian side, so china must understand that there will be no transfers, the americans

understand and know all the plans in advance, i think that these are the plans and conversations that were on the chinese side about the fact that they will be ready to supply weapons, now at least they have put it on pause , because now china needs to think, because for er, let's say information about the supply of weapons. i think that they are sending signals about the possibility of sanctions that can be and they can be painful because, well, china is dependent on e the united states and europe and therefore they are thinking about what kind of weapon it could be, it could be e-e artillery shells that are in large quantities for 152-122 mm of artillery that fits the russian plus it could be unmanned drones plus it could be component elements and let's say certain elements are necessary for the production and production of weapons on the territory of russia, that is , what could be used by the russian anti-aircraft missile system

, but i think that after such messages after the fact that the relationship between china and russia is undermined, that is, china will become less trusted , obviously for obvious reasons, because the information is getting out, now the information is getting out, russia does not know where the source is leak of this information, they can't let's say detect them and prevent them, that's why i think that this is a brilliant action that , well, at least definitely puts on pause the question of helping china with shells, drones and other types of ammunition. he would really like to not only put on pause but that would stop everything alexander well, now let's go to other countries, you already mentioned a little earlier about iran and north korea, well, with iran , it is clear that drones are leaving from there, they are already leaving , maybe i would not like it, but there is such a possibility

of ballistic missiles sh- sh what right now it is happening precisely in cooperation between russia and iran, military cooperation, well, of course, let’s talk about north korea right away, as for iran, in addition to unmanned drones, there was information from uh, again, this movement was announced by director tsoi that it could be about shells for tanks and even artillery munitions and in fact it can be said that somewhere eh iran could set up production lines for these munitions but considering that from time to time we see flying over iranian military facilities eh related to the production of weapons i think that the situation there is also the same, let's say, well, this issue is now being actively dealt with in order not to allow iran to develop strongly . these are the types of production, in addition, there are indeed threats of ballistic missiles. the fact is that this information was already in october 2022, are there

previous agreements between the government and russia about the supply of such missiles, but we see that as of today there is no information that these missiles have been supplied or are already ready for supply, that is, today we see that er something let's say this stops this supply, some factors affect it, but the factor of shells and ammunition remains . it is difficult to say how many today, because it is difficult to say about the industrial capabilities of iran regarding their production, but so far, as far as there is information in the open access, we were talking about small batches, this is what concerns iran, what concerns north korea can help north korea, it's the same, only with artillery shells, ammunition, mines , maybe what they have, in principle, what

could north korea do, but north korea do you understand, this is also a potential site and possibly a country that could be considered by china as let's say, a country through it would be possible to supply one or another weapon, not so much less noticeable, but to date , in addition to the fact that one small train was recorded about what was said by the strategic communications adviser of the white house measles and there was confirmation of this, so far other facts are supplied from north korea. it has not been recorded from china, that is why this is the situation. for now, there are threats of this, the discussion is very rapid russia has a burning desire to get these weapons, but there are only limited batches of the ones that have been delivered. well, there is a small amount there, like when there was a few months ago with the dprk. well, as we see the trouble in russia with weapons. god grant that this trouble will continue. less and for partners to turn away and not give

p oleksandr how would you answer the question that we asked our viewers on youtube why did lukashenko go to china to conclude economic agreements to help russia circumvent western sanctions or is your option to swear to finally swear allegiance to these dzvinkin and receive a guarantee in the event of processes that will begin in russia and tectonic changes that will begin after the victory of ukraine will receive some security guarantees for themselves . this is the first goal and the second goal. he pretended quite well and played the part that he was going on putin's task to discuss the possible transportation routes of weapons from china through belarus because of the contracts that belarus already has, the previous ones were concluded because china

at one time supplied belarus with missiles and rockets systems of volley fire er polonaise that they produced and they have, in principle, a history of cooperation er and that is why i think that putin certainly definitely i touched on this, but the main goal was of course, these are personal guarantees, you understand right now what lukashenko is , he is quite cunning. he understands that now after him the entire european division will go to china well, he also understands that let shizenpin order some word about lukashenko in front of the europeans for the future , at least something, that is, he, well, these are personal guarantees , of course, oleksandr thank you very much for participating in my program thank you very much for expert answers it was oleksandr musienko, the head

of the center for military legal research , it was with mr. oleksandr that they went through the military powerful ss or can we say the weaknesses of russia and because of this she is looking for who i would not have given these weapons abroad so quickly because we are drinking the results of the vote due to lack of time. today we asked you to answer three questions on youtube : why did lukashenko go to china to conclude economic agreements? 18% believe that it is to help russia circumvent sanctions. option eight percent are watching now already at the end of the program 2,300 364 people in our e-e in the youtube channel thank you to all of you who watched on youtube to everyone who watched on the air of the espresso tv channel thank you for being you

thank you for knowing kyiv city of architectural eclecticism and chaotic construction. unfortunately, every year the capital loses buildings that have historical value, so the shults brewery with a two-hundred-year tradition of brewing, which is located in the area of ​​the demiivka market, is on the verge of disappearing. it was already a village outside the city, the village did not belong to the city administratively, but it began to develop as in such an industrial suburb of kyiv, the first industrial enterprises began to appear, and one of the first known from 1809 was this industrial enterprise , that is, it was a brewery and a brick factory it was owned by different persons here, but already in 1865 it was first rented by heinrich schulz, a prussian subject, the brewery belonged to the german schulz family until the beginning of the first world war, the complex was first handed over to the management, later nationalized by the bolsheviks , one continued to produce beer here, the last

batch was produced in 2003 during the times after independence, the brewery was purchased by the sarmat company , which was part of the holding of businessman rinat akhmetov, they bought it for the production of beer , but then they refused everything and for 20 years, if there were plans to build an office complex here, but nothing happened. historian and local historian anton korop emphasizes this complex, the unique preservation of buildings in which the production process of brewing took place, workshops , a malt drying tower, residential buildings for employees and the house of the owner himself, this place 20 years ago could have become make a private brewery somewhere a tourist magnet, somewhere there can be a museum, beer, restaurants, something under the offices, that would be a tourist highlight, an interesting thought

, because we know all these beer brands. they always even years there, 1,800, foreign, 1,700, well, lviv beer is the 19th year , all of us, all of them, producers are proud of their traditions, that is, they all have a long tradition in their production, these are the three brands. they are no longer working, so this urban tradition of ours has been interrupted, but the buildings were not just restored. and they started dismantling two years ago . one building, one of the oldest, was completely dismantled. it is not visible from here. it was visible a little, so to speak, and a couple of months ago it was noticed that this a dense tower, today the buildings belong to the charity organization the national welfare fund of crimea, however, who conducts the construction inspection is known, the territory itself is under protection in this area, there are no permits for carrying out any construction objects, so the issue is not only the

destruction of the historic the question is that these are generally natural construction works without initial documentation, well, that is, who carries out these works on the basis of what and what is planned to be built, in fact today the owner of the buildings is a charitable foundation the user of the site is a charitable foundation, but the question is whether a charitable foundation can engage in construction activities according to the law, charitable foundations cannot have any other type of activity except their direct type of activity for the sake of charity, although this complex does not have the status of a historical monument. it is located in a historical cultural area, but even buildings with this status are in some places not in the best condition, in particular, this unique complex on baikov gora, the bacteriological

institute was built in 1896. total for six months and exclusively with the funds of patrons, at the end of the 19th century, kyiv suffered from epidemics of various diseases , mainly cholera, this was due to the low quality of drinking water, drinking water was taken from the dnipro, it was not purified enough to quell these epidemics, so in kyiv they formed a society for the fight against these infectious diseases even then lesya building was called the palace of science because the best architectural decoration could boast of the fact that the opera theater of prices is also a complex in addition to the so -called palace of science of the central bacteria of the institute, which has been preserved in a beautiful, perfect condition. that is, there are even historic chandeliers inside, i mean, the plaques on the eyes are marble, there are plaques, we have a gilded inscription that laid the foundations for the building at that time for such funds. it is

beautiful . four small mitlai tiles from the bergheim factory in the 80s of the last century. restoration work was carried out here, and already during the independence period, the territory became private property, the beneficiary of which is the owner's pharmaceutical company biopharma undertook to repair and restore the building, a corresponding contract was concluded with the department of cultural heritage protection of the pmda, however, the repair work did not start from 2020. kyiv city council, as a participant in this contract, the party to the contract could define a term, for example there three years, five years, 10 years, let it be 10 years, but 10 years will end, no restoration has been carried out, the monument is being taken by the city, it is looking for a new investor who will be able to carry out the restoration of other buildings of this

the complex does not have the status of monuments, so the owner can dispose of them at his discretion. in 1900, according to the project of engineer bek , three buildings were built for the residence of infectious patients, this is one of them made of brick , there is another one and one of them was wooden, this is one of the rare samples of wooden construction, i.e. kyiv once upon a time, yes, there were many houses in the center, until the 17th year wooden houses predominated in kyiv. and now they are single, and taking into account the vulnerability of the material , that is, its durability, all houses must protect this building until recently, there was a pharmacy for many decades, well, everyone remembers that there was a pharmacy now under threat of destruction, that is, there are talks that there will be new construction here, as of today, the legislation does not provide for an effective mechanism for the protection of historical buildings that are privately owned only about 120 buildings are included

in the list of cultural heritage that are threatened with destruction or destruction, often for the owner the plot of land is much more valuable than the historical monument on it, therefore the building is deliberately bring to a state of emergency, in fact, some real mechanisms to oblige to do something with the property with the monument which is in your possession is quite difficult , only public attention can prevent such processes, especially today, when society's attention is primarily focused on war crimes of the russian occupiers, deoccupation, how can you live without a commission, you can live without a stop , it is unsurpassed, the history of the liberated cities of ukraine , let's see how our brothers helped us , freed a normal life, freed

of normal equipment of pro-russian inhumans, it was scary, very scary, every day, one house at a time, two houses were burned, and the nazis of the ukrainian people are here. yes, we are all nationalists here. did the residents resist? the residents came here, stopped them and sent them back and became heroes. the novel was and will always be ukraine about the unbreakable . cities of ukraine from the ukraine project in the documentary series deoccupation that on saturdays at 11:10 on espresso the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians victory and loss analysis and forecasts politics and geopolitics serhiy will talk about all this rudenko and the guests of his program, people who have information and shape public opinion , people who defend ukraine and create the future, the most important and interesting thing in the program is the verdict of serhiy rudenko from monday

to thursday at 13:00, repeat at 18:00 on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian service voices of america, time, i am yuliya yarmolenko, i congratulate the european union, canada is strengthening its support for ukraine and will continue to help ukraine to victory , said the president of the european commission, ursula fondelaien, during her visit to canada on at a joint press conference with prime minister justin triduv, she thanked canada for the fact that this country was one of the first to start training the ukrainian military back in 2015, which, according to fondelaien , helped ukrainians to effectively deal with the russians and from the first days of the great war, the president of the european commission also announced the goal of the european training program for the ukrainian
