[000:00:00;00] just such a moment as you said that the political and moral weight of this battle for bakhmut is growing for us as well as for the russians, and i will now say that the political scientist vitaly bala wrote this post 3 hours ago, it is not simple, but that is why i think about it also speaking about such things is not the same as at a nationwide marathon, because they will say even more. i think that our viewers want a more serious conversation, and here he says that since president zelensky announced in february that we will not surrender bakhmut, and we also went down in political history because after this sixth date, when the stake was gathered , and supreme president zelensky gathered it as the commander-in-chief, the result of this stake, which we were informed about, is that

zulzhny and syrsky agreed that it is important to keep bakhmut and bala further says that despite the fact that there were statements, for example , by the us minister of defense lloyd, that this is an unimportant city , in fact it is not a key one, despite other all kinds of assessment statements, now the responsibility for bakhmut lies with the diligent yasyri, not on to president zelenskiy because they recognized that this is a strategically important city in order to put the and actually the conclusion now from the point that our politicians must realize that their place is not in the general staff where war plans are developed and politicians should neither interfere nor try to manage the armed forces by the forces of ukraine, because nothing good will come of it. what do you think about it? well, i think that the people who are planning

a military operation now, of course, take these political demands into account because, well, the military a machine is a tool, let's say, in the hands of politicians, but they are transformed into a military strategy. it is important for us to support such a moral and psychological spirit and to prevent the use of reserves that we are currently accumulating for the future counteroffensive and, in general, to prevent the losses of these trump excessive there may be, but i think that the analysis goes on like this constantly, and well, all these points are taken into account. but , in order to really give an assessment, you need to know the situation, and the headquarters and generals of the headquarters or the command of the combined forces know that they themselves

made the following comments about whether this city will surrender or not, and so on, i definitely agree with you. andriy, well , let's talk about what poland has started to install anti-tank fortifications on the border with belarus, what this may indicate and what this last week, there was information that soloyov was allegedly going to belarus, that it is possible that some terrorist attacks are being prepared in belarus. well, they are preparing them themselves, but later they will tell that it is all because of us. and maybe it will be like this, these terrorist attacks will be more accurate to those who seem to be recognized as traitors, well, the people's suicide bomber already exists in relation to traitors in belarus, well, this is most likely a preventive

measure . if you look at belarus now, the situation there is really not very predictable because, in principle, everything is concentrated, well, in the hands of one unrecognized dictator president this year, a very serious propaganda machine was launched in order to sway the population of belarus , which was, well, much more disposed towards the west, positively towards ukraine. we remember these moods. we remember what was there in the 20th year, when lukashenka, supposedly the president of belarus, was dragged into the next round of rotation, well, the situation is unpredictable, well, the poles do what they think is necessary in order to proactively prevent

any provocations or something , they do it on their territory, i understand it does not cause any interference or shall we say any damage to the belarusian territory, therefore well, it is their right, they do it, and the president , the president, god says, the prime minister of finland, the president of finland surrenders is generally elected by the parliament. and on mirela marin herself, the prime minister of finland visited kyiv yesterday, by the way, she participated in the farewell ceremony for the ukrainian hero and the legendary da vinci, and i want to say that in addition to all this, she interestingly made a statement that finland will consider and study the issue of the possibility of transferring the f-18 hornet to ukraine. i

know that they will be decommissioned . the fleet in particular, but i remember that austria is australia, and no. i apologize, canada canada, back in 2014, there were even some conversations that could transfer the f-18 to us, it is also a big, big parking lot for many countries , what do you think about the prospects of transferring the f-18 f18 the hornet in ukraine may be the aircraft that will be the first to reach us in the fourth generation, well, finland , for a long time, was a country and partner of nato about 18 years ago, they bought these f18 hornet aircraft from the united states of america and after that they started

to adapt them to the national armed forces and for the program of this integration of coordination of these aircraft, they took the full gnat methodology, it is called that and the shaft. in order to use these planes in the course of hostilities , well, in national interests, and because of that, they have such and such well, somehow it took place against the background of the fact that they are not a nato country, but actually the experience of finland it will be very, very interesting, and if there is a question about the transfer of these f18 aircraft to ukraine, of course this experience can be really invaluable for us, because they went through this process somewhere before 2010, they

were already certified and fully used these aircraft for destination, as it should be in nato countries, but the f18 plane was also considered in the package of possible supply options for the ukrainian air force, but i want to remind you that this plane is really a fuel plane, but it is so very, very capable in terms of conducting combat operations both in the air and against targets on land and at sea, but well, this is such a very expensive aircraft, the cost of its use is about two and a half times more than the f16 aircraft, which one you are currently showing us on the footage, this is an expensive weapon

but the experience of finland is really very, very useful for us, the f16 is just being shown now , well, here they are. and finally, i will ask again , returning to the topic, after all , there were calls to belarus again that in the event that we will be sent, planes will be used against ukraine, does ukraine have the right to any strike operations? well, at least some kind of hybrid method. well, i think i won't talk about the weather right. and about the capabilities. i think that the armed forces of ukraine have such capabilities . thank you very much mr. andriy andriy ryzhenko , expert of the defense center strategy, the captain of the first rank of the reserve armed forces of ukraine was with us, they talked about what is happening now at the front, and also about the prospects of supplying us with the f-18, a cool plane, but really

expensive enough to operate, that's it. well, but you know, if, conditionally speaking, it also includes provision for a couple of years, then this is also a good option, and then we would have already figured out what to do with it. by the way, what is interesting is that pakistan wants to which we made export t-80 tanks , modernized, they made almost fifty of those tanks, they are here bought and now they say that they can give it back to them if the truth somehow compensates them the western coalition with some more modern and even cooler tanks pakistan is cleverly doing so, but this has already terribly annoyed russia, who say that we here consider you more or less allies and you here are unworthy well, these 80 are really good, modernized, they would not be superfluous for us for the future offensive, very interesting information, the muscovites wanted to hand over scythian swords. well, you know about it. but somewhere over there at the customs, they were detained by the americans and handed over to our

marksmen, this is crimean, it is, well the crimean and in fact the tauriyan ones, that’s where we found them. it’s there some millennium bc, that’s the era there , you know herodotus, the father of history, and even then they were used by the tribes that lived here. they were called scythians and mostly they used it was iron long swords and they were called akinaks, and by the way, they had an advantage over the swords used by the same greeks, the greeks, the greeks, the sword had such an auxiliary meaning , they mostly fought with spears, well, while the scythians had such a more european , let's say, the tradition of long swords, these akinaki are very cool. but now, maybe we can try to show them something. we have some kind of plug with the internet, but i

’m asking you. i already have images of these three fantastic and muscovites. to appropriate us, someone asks why the muscovites are leading, waiting, well, we support those 25 kremlin bots that came in, they are so funny , they write comments that are amazing , somehow, something, something, something, it’s scary to correspond with them today, well, i can, at least a little, at least a little, some satisfaction from this to get laughing from some kremlin bot who tells about some kind of swindle about panties with fishnets or something, well , these are some of their dreams that they attribute to others , that's why, yes, but the fact that muscovites steal everything and they are trying to appropriate and appropriate someone else's history, well, isn't this some kind of discovery for us? it's just that we once again have some kind of confirmation that we theoretically knew some practical practical stories, so

to speak, from life . as for renaming russia to muscovy, i don't know who did it. well, we are here, we even talked about it on the air and also said that it was a good idea. someone heard and wrote this petition to 25,000 ukrainians. signed this petition and zelensky even commented that he was not against it. well, it is necessary to study the issue globally, but well , but the muscovites responded very strongly to it. it's saturday. you understand that day, but he came out of it all, spilled coffee and wrote that such a region was cognac. i don't know. with what? well , he probably wrote the supreme kyiv nazi, well, it's

the jew zelensky, so you understand, he commissioned to work on a question about the renaming of russia to moscow well, what is there to say about our response? no, of course not hochlandia, and even more so, there is a lot of russia, only the schvainish bandera is amazing , medvedev wrote very well, demonstrating good skills in working with google translate from russian to german . cherchel didn’t say because it simply doesn’t exist for him, but as cherchel never said, future fascists will call themselves anti-fascists. well, everything seems to be just about president medvedev. well, i won’t in principle, you should tell him what to do. well, you know it's pointless, that is. listen, margarita seme nyan doesn't drink . as far as we know, to be honest, i don't really know how she deals with alcohol. she also wrote such amazing things here about georgia about ukraine was outraged by these protests and that

the protesters there were shouting sukhumi sukhumi, and here she says that she is all that has been done in georgia now. it was all in order to create a second front for russia because, as margarita simonyan says, it will happen after her death. i will not forget my friend steven cohen, who, by the way, told me 15 years ago that he is unlikely to survive, but i will definitely find out how ukraine will break into two parts, wait , there are no kremlinologists left and there is no one to tell them that in the event of a repeat of august 2008 from georgia, no one it will not be played around and the army will not be sent there, but it will simply be destroyed immediately under tbilisi personally. i will not understand it, even if it is because it is not about sentiments, margarita simonyan writes now.

did not consider themselves to be one people with the georgians and the russian federation. there was never a tbilisi russia, so it was in vain. that's all they started. they would feel sorry for the beautiful city and its temperamental inhabitants, since they themselves do not feel sorry for themselves, that is, at first they said that they would take such a person in three days and they also said that some of their generals said that it was necessary to simply raze everything to dust, so if there is already a war, then to fight, just make ruins and install the russian tricolor on the ruins , now they say that they will destroy tbilisi, but they will not destroy kyiv, because there is a kiev-pechersk lavra, it was in history that hetman sahaidachny came with the poles and they were going to burn moscow . well, it’s only normal to burn it so that it ’s all in the head.

said the orthodox brother, i can't burn it, that's all, and he got off the siege and went back to kyiv. well, we forgave him, we even put up a couple of monuments in ukraine, called the orthodox brothers whom he called brothers, always a person thinks, well, thinks about another person, judging by oneself, and a person is good with good and correct values. she thinks that with others it is so, in the end, so . europe was wrong with the russians for a long time, she kept thinking that some people, some civilization , are now slowly starting to see through and understand that some are worse than barbarians. well, you're just barbarians are not worse than barbarians, and barbarians well, that's the story of those russians, i don't know, but what else can i say, margarita simonyan, that's the end . haven't you been to georgian russia? well, in principle, you haven't been to any russia, so that's the story.

maybe you were a horde somewhere and still remain, well, at least in spirit. well, then you are the heirs of the horde, because everything is against freedom, against the truth , against personal freedom, for slavery and for, you know, how he formulated the dilemma of the russian soul, the mysterious russian soul, brilliantly, in fact, a russian genius writer and truly genius although and so with problems with mental disorders and with problems with morals and there with a passion for alcohol and gambling i am now talking about fyodor mikhailovich dostoevsky he brilliantly formulated it in in principle, in this form of russians, and in principle, the russians hesitated so much between these two options, both seemed tempting, so they decided to be trembling slaves at the same time and kill old women, children, women , peaceful people, so basically, since then, they have been leading their interesting

road for the last 100 years the ecumenical cemetery, the firm sitters, well, it took a long time, they already took a long time. because in fact, what is the ether of the deputy of the kyiv city council and the councilor of the city mayor, dmytro bilotserkivets , to talk to him about the fact that in kyiv there is the same kyiv-pechersk lavra that as we can see, they don't want to destroy the russians, because they all dream of coming to kyiv. this is the same margarita simonyan, who said that she dreams of some kind of populism and sings the song "god" to the words of starytsky. how do you see her? it's not, it's not, it's not very black. you see how it is, when it needs to be, it takes off at the right moment, and it can't. i found, you know , what i wanted to show

. in the united states, these three scythian swords and kinaki. what a moonlit night. what a moonlit starlight that margarita simonyan dreams of so that she can sing because they are dreaming. we are not the wrong swords are not the right swords, we are showing what is happening, the gentlemen have already shown the wrong swords, are we not the right ones, because i, and i know why, because i dropped it in the wrong group, because today we just have many groups in the correspondence that we during we just find something directly for you we are looking for you right away, we will show you so that you know how to share good information with you. therefore, excuse me, but today we have a lot

of different chats and many hours when we spend them with you dmytro bilotserkovets, a member of the kyiv city council, an adviser to the city mayor , mr. dmytro is joining us, welcome to our air, congratulations, slava kudos to the heroes of ukraine, mr. dmytro, as kyiv after this largest massive missile attack in 2023, when kiev was flown. heating is completely renewed, work is underway and the situation is gradually improving, we are returning heating to

the residents of the capital, water supply is the same, well, the situation has stabilized and is almost resolved gradually. unfortunately, there was also a hit in a residential building , cars were on fire. what is the situation there now, or are there any estimates of the destruction caused by a russian missile? well, we have three victims. do you remember that there are cars that were not due to the fact that the rocket links fell into residential buildings. in addition, other settlements of kyiv were also affected, but we will gradually analyze now, i am not ready to tell you how all this will be renewed because well, there must be an appropriate procedure carried out, there must be an examination and i want to remind you what else. in that year, we restored a large number of buildings that were damaged, including high-rise buildings, and in fact, to this day, no one can see that there were any problems with the hitting

of russian missiles, so for us, it is fundamentally that we we will be like ants to prove to the aggressor that no matter what was done in the capital, we will restore it anyway. well, you see, margarita simonyan says that they are not destroying kyiv. well, as she says, because we have the kyiv-pechers lavra, and that is why they want to destroy tbilisi. they have such an amazing explanation. but it is interesting how they are now expelling moscow priests from the kiev-pechersk lavra, this will surely be some kind of signal for them that in principle it is possible to destroy kyiv, but what happened before that and during this year, i do not know these all rockets that fell in kyiv in the center of kyiv. here i would like to apologize, well, politically, because i added to you in some sense all this bullshit. what are they saying there because we see how much they destroyed in the east of ukraine, including in central

ukraine, in the south of ukraine, a large number churches were simply destroyed or looted, there is nothing sacred about these people, they don't care to take away from people, whether it's some church equipment or just the last loaf of bread from some children, it doesn't matter because they are not people, mr. dmytro, yesterday they said goodbye to kyiv and kyiv said goodbye to the capital of ukraine said goodbye to dmytro kotsyubail, the hero of ukraine, known to everyone by his call sign da vinci, i don't know if you were at this ceremony at this event , what did it look like, what feelings did people come out of it, did all of kyiv come together did they see how many people were there or were there any estimates? well, according to my personal belief, there were more than three or four thousand people

, it’s hard for me to say more . well, somewhere i estimated like that. showed because a large number of people came to say goodbye, even if they did not know dmytro, they still came to pay their respects to the hero of ukraine who died for our freedom . i think the fact that dmytro kotsyubail was buried at the askoldova grave is extremely telling to me, and this is somehow very symbolic , i emphasize i think there is some kind of connection between our war of liberation, which was 100 years ago , i think that dmytro is exactly the same. how did you perceive, including a large number of other heroes who died, and well, i personally know several heroes who, unfortunately, died in

sevastopol. i myself was in sevastopol, and during the annexation of crimea and sevastopol, they also destroyed pro-ukrainian public leaders who could tell the truth because they always want to intimidate and intimidate the population and show that they themselves will decide what will happen next, and not the people, well, but with them, with their, with their citizens, they succeed in this . but with ukrainians, they do not succeed, even if to remember how this week started unfortunately for all of ukraine and for the family of oleksandr matievsky, who was cynically shot on camera by the russians simply because he said glory to ukraine and refused to remove the chevron of the armed forces of ukraine well, for sure they were pursuing some goal by releasing this video so that we could start again to be afraid anymore, i don't know how to stop my struggle, but they caused a completely

different emotion in all ukrainians, because there is unity, there is an understanding that ukrainians are fighting not only for the land, they are primarily fighting for its freedom and for its people, and therefore supports the entire democratic world, and therefore they will not be able to win, it is simply impossible because the people cannot be defeated in such situations if they fight 42 million , this is what our army is. and in fact, more because we are also supported by all civilized world and it is the largest economy in the world and a simple mathematical analysis shows that sooner or later these two curves, particularly in the number of even shells, will cross and the ukrainian army's capabilities will grow of the russian fall well, now we are still at the crossing point approximately thank you very much, mr. dmytro dmytro bilotserkovets, a member of the kyiv city council, an adviser to the city mayor, joined us from the capital, which you won’t even say that

we have recovered, we have shaken off the results of the largest-scale powerful attack of the so-called russian missile and we are living next, our merton on espresso continues, stay with us , stay with our youtube broadcast , comment on it now, there will be a fresh selection of news of what happened in ukraine at the moment well
