[000:00:00;00] it was twice replaced let's say by the muscovites and as a result it was conquered and assimilated and when diplomatic missions were sent in the 15th century, in particular to moscow, when the grand duchy of moscow officially became the russian kingdom, then the ambassador of the euro was now the russian kingdom of the moscow principality when ivan the terrible became official when he was who was crowned king called the state the russian empire, that is, i just want to add to this myth that in 1721 peter renamed it not peter renamed peter renamed the russian empire in russia, that is, he took a greek word

, but the fact is that we can call ourselves whatever we want . certain terminology of certain names, remember the history with north macedonia or the former yugoslav republic of macedonia that is, it needed some kind of international recognition that could last a very long time and needed investment from the russian diplomatic offices throughout the 18th century in the cartographic publishing houses of london, amsterdam, others, instead of muscovy, write russia instead of muscovy, write russia the word ukraine, remove the word ukraine, write little russia, or there, ruslan is there, and so on and so on. that is, it was a separate cartographic propaganda, a separate

map war that lasted on many fronts . that is, this is such an informational and psychological special operation and everything as it is now called, and again it is mentioned that as a compliment to one western diplomat when he went to the east was that he knows both russian and muscovite, but the language is a different people , and what was it called in this case, for example, how khmelnitsky called muscovy and how mazepa called muscovy, how he communicated with peter , there are official forms of address, that is, here i immediately want to open a public the sphere and that which touches the diplomatic protocol, that is in the public sphere . we call germany, for example, germany did not reach england, and

the french call it that, but there is international law and international documentation, one must use the official name that has been approved for itself a sovereign state, as a former french colony of upper volta, decided to be called burkina faso and everyone was forced to write after that at official events that way, you can call it whatever you want, there are international languages ​​of the oun, there are those signs that stand in front of diplomats of the security council and they correspond to that official name the state as it considers itself, that is, from a public or historical point of view, we can call moscow russia or the russian federation in any document within the country

, no one can prevent us from doing so the situation when the countries themselves in the past was conducted became romania was galia became france, that is, in the internal ukrainian sphere i am here as a historian and i know the practice, so to speak , of ethnic historical relations as people of each other different countries and communities called we can afford it absolutely without problems, but it turns out, if we want to put pressure on the russian federation in this way , then it is necessary that international legal scholars have their say, because after all, i am not a diplomat, a non-legal scholar, but from the point of view of history we have every reason to calmly call the current russia moscow and you support such an idea for internal

use, for example . this is a borrowed name from russia, because russia is the greek rus rus in all medieval sources is central dnieper region this is central ukraine and the kingdom of rus king danyla on in western ukraine, this is authentic russia, which can then be called russia, russia, as you like, but it has localization, here the points can be stretched as you like, but then you call the new russian like new caledonia or new zealand, since you have already mentioned the un, i will also mention it at the end that our

ambassador to the un, serhiy kislytsia, wrote a tweet back in november about the fact that he also proposes to rename the russian federation from the moscow federation to muscovy. so even at the diplomatic level, this idea was already there, and now we are waiting for the decision of the cabinet of ministers after considering the instructions of the president when renaming russia to moscow in the ukrainian language thank you mr. kyrylo kyrylo galushko candidate of historical sciences was our guest let's continue fortify the borders of ukraine with drones join the gathering of the border guards the enemies must be stopped protect our own we stand up because we understand that our wealth is our people that's why we are happy for every ukrainian and ukrainians who managed to be saved because we know that there is no such thing as small help and

we are ready to support to the best of our abilities and strength, each of their shots only strengthens the projectile our unity and the desire for victory to be replaced by them, we will stand up, win and recover from the ruins, as they never will , and we will stand up kateryna osadchai's project to search for the missing, find their own today at 9:15 p.m., history, the search to change everyone, she does not lose hope, find the godfather, this happened to me what can actually be done and decided that something needs to be done next, who disappeared during the occupation of kyiv region, if this is a young man, i am more than sure that he is where

the russians keep ukrainian civilians , there are probably more than 70 such places, and how return the captives home so that all the captives return home we will help the relatives meet again today at 21:15 in marathon the only news of the bakhmut fortress is hell on earth there are no safe access routes to bakhmut at the moment why it is there that the fate of the ukrainian counteroffensive is being decided there is about a month, that is, until the middle spring secrets of the british whispered legendary challengers here is the seat of the driver who goes where i am what ukrainians are being prepared for at the testing grounds of great britain exclusive facts

of the week combined protection under a code name dorchesters georgian euromaidan how georgians exploded against the russian scenario and what will it lead to georgian government is under intense pressure from moscow putin's achilles heel has its own needle in the quiver why where to decide the fate of the war 9 years after the annexation and the revelation of russian prisoners of war that 's why i came here exclusive report from a secret ukrainian prison, this is facts of the week with oksana sokolova and serhiy kudimov. greetings , invincible ukrainians. facts of the week picks up the national air

marathon with an analysis of the key events of the week we will understand what is really happening and what we can expect next new tactics of kremlin terrorists this week russia hit our civilian infrastructure again this was the most massive shelling this year 81 missiles but its main difference from the previous ones is that it is not the first time since at the beginning of the full -scale invasion, the russians used everything they had in their arsenal, launching as many as eight different types of missiles over ukraine at the same time. unfortunately , our air defense cannot shoot down three of them so far. modified s-300s that fly along a ballistic trajectory russia launched 13 of them supersonic soviet x-22 cruise missiles well , six hypersonic x-47 daggers during one attack, this is also the first time in the last year that the russians used to protect them with a shield from daggers

could become the american patriot complex, the financial times reported this week that kyiv has already received the first installation, which, in truth, has not yet been put on duty, but the air force of ukraine has denied this information, while the patriots are on the way, the russians are in a hurry to hurt us as much as possible no more trouble, not sparing such scarce and expensive daggers, besides, this is at least some opportunity for the kremlin to feed the russians with victorious propaganda , so to speak. look at our missiles, which have no analogues , penetrated ukrainian air defense and defeated electric resistance in the odesa region or a boiler room in the kyiv region in order to brag about military victories on the battlefield moscow cannot, but very much wants to, that is why it is littering with the corpses of its soldiers the approaches to the bahamut, and in such quantities that not only western analysts, but also

, for example, the secretary general of nato this week began predict that the armed forces will soon leave the fortress city, which has become a true symbol of the resilience and courage of ukrainian soldiers, why did the military leadership of ukraine decide to hold the defense and what is behind this decision, can the russians surround the city , pavlo vasiliev analyzed the scenario of hell on earth, what is happening now why is this fortress so important for ukraine , it is the hot spot of the planet earth and what is the plan of the russians, the city of bakhmut this week made headlines all over the world in six months the russian occupiers practically wiped it off the face of the earth in bakhmut. unfortunately, the morning begins with joy . in recent weeks

, the intensity of fighting in bakhmut has increased. planet earth of president zelenskyi and the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, the valiant commander of the ground forces of syria, said that the city should not just be held, but also strengthen the strength of the defenders why is it so important and what actually depends on bakhmut this week, the defenders of the fortress blew up the bridge over the bakhmutka river , now the front line passes there, although it is not wide, it is a water obstacle in front of the russian forces that are on the offensive, it divides bakhmut into two halves, the western and eastern undermining of the bridge may be evidence that our forces have decided to establish themselves on the western bank

, actually leaving the eastern part of the city and the western bank of bakhmutka, the beginning of our new lines of defense. comrades who defend bakhmut and at the cost of superior forces and heavy losses they try to hold the defense, as one of my friends from aydar jokes. there is the only short thing that is missing. he also says that they did not go to hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. well , in fact, that is, they are very close. contact combat is almost hand-to-hand. in principle, it is extremely difficult. no technical advantage can save you here, that is, you can’t call the artillery here when it’s already in the middle between ours and theirs . this is one of those battles in the enemy’s bahamut . literally around the corner, but still, clashes cost the occupiers city battles.

they are losing more than they can afford. bakhmut himself is still holding on, but the situation around him is getting worse and worse, they have started tactics of breaking through with pincers. actually, because of the weather conditions, because of their significant advantage , they succeeded. according to open sources, the north of bakhmut is under russian control. podgorodne birkhivka and yagidne. in this way, the occupiers cut the route to slavyansk to the south of the city. russian forces are trying to advance from kleschivka opitnogo and ivangrad under the threat of time, the ravine and the only more or less suitable way in the spring roadless conditions, the city, the route to kostyantynivka from south to north , it is shot even by infantry weapons , that is , there are currently no safe access routes to bakhmut, all of them are already shot at , but they are used by the route that led

to slavyansk was completely destroyed by the enemy, but they still travel along the road to kostyantynivka, but in some places there you have to travel literally 200-300 m from the advanced enemy positions , at the same time bakhmut in itself, although important but it is only one of the many elements of our defense in this area, but the fortified area is not only bakhmut. and it is, in particular, the entire territory to the west, in particular chasiv yar. where are our positions, that is, this is our old training ground, our artillery units are located there, the range of attack there are 15 km, well, i’m talking about the general one, and thus they also fail to pass this section, accordingly, the fate of bahmut is mostly decided not in the city itself, but around it , the loss of the route to kostyantynivka , experts assume, may force the zsu to leave the city alone

from the key positions near the klitschevka track and the heights next to it, a few days ago there were reports that the status of the positions behind it is hot again. well, it's not entirely clear if the enemy goes to or goes up to these heights, then we lose a serious milestone there defense but can bakhmut be surrounded and why the russians continue the assault despite the insane losses the city itself is not of great military importance for the russians , but it is the key to entering the administrative borders of the donetsk region if the russians manage to take it to capture or force the ukrainian defense forces to withdraw, the next step of the occupiers is easy to predict, it is an offensive to the north , sloviansk, kramatorsk, kostiantynivka, that is why the defense of the city is so important, it can be said that

bakhmut is currently being held in order for the next three large cities to remain close to the front and not become the front line. for us, this is a significant factor. it is obvious that this is why the commander of the ground forces, oleksandr the syrian, came to bakhmut twice in the last week. the real hero now is the defenders. who hold the eastern front on their shoulders, and without sparing either themselves or the enemies inflict maximum losses on them, it is necessary to gain time for the accumulation of reserves and the start of the spring counteroffensive, which is not far off, in fact, time now plays in favor of the occupying armed forces and is one of the decisive factors not only both for bakhmut, but also for the future development of the war , they actually have time for about a month, that is , until the middle of spring, when we will already feel at the front we will already really feel the western aid, all the equipment that today is still continues to come to us and we have a parallel assembly of our units, and therefore ukrainian reserves are a headache for

the occupiers. the economist writes that the russian general staff aimed to drag as many forces of the armed forces as possible into the bahamian chaos, but our similar command managed to unravel this plan and decided to maintain the balance between forces necessary in the city and by equipping new brigades, zaluzhny expects to create three new army corps with a total number of about 60 thousand people, so far only russian reserves are burning in the hellish fire of bachmut the current number one task for the armed forces is to weaken the enemy as much as possible, to knock out his most combat-ready units and after that to strike back. but how exactly can events develop, we are now talking more about the south , of course our best positions are there, but it is clear that for the russians it will be a surprise in any in any case , in order to proceed to the offensive, we must first

defeat this offensive potential, the sooner we defeat this wave of russians, the sooner we will actually be able to proceed to the counteroffensive, all these factors explain why zapakhmut is such a fierce struggle, the bloodiest in this war. currently, this small city opens a big door for an offensive, either for us or for them pavlo vasiliev facts of the week ictv the only news the fortress of bakhmut is protected by the most mythical giants and real people of blood and flesh, however, every day they make unreal deeds as one of the youngest heroes of ukraine dmytro kotsyubailo with the call sign da vinci who died this week he was only 27 years old and nine of them he

spent in the war without exaggeration becoming the legend of the ukrainian resistance, it was not for nothing that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the generals and ministers in the person of da vinci bowed their knees to the junior lieutenant during the farewell. president zelenskyi paid tribute to the whole generation of young ukrainians who were robbed of everything by the war, as well as father and son oleg and mykyta hamyak who fought in the terrodefense zsu and died together for bakhmut, this week was full of very heavy losses, which at the same time became new symbols of ukrainian indomitability, like this man who was shot by the occupiers for our slogan glory in ukraine, now we already know his name is oleksandr matievskyi, he was a sniper of the teroborona battalion from nizhyn. the video footage was leaked to the network by the russians themselves , hoping to scare us, but the courage and dignity with which this soldier looked into the eyes of death impressed millions of people. glory to the heroes. ukraine

will take revenge for each of its sons and daughters. because preparations for this continue for a major counteroffensive at the training grounds of great britain , our soldiers are mastering the latest weapons , olena zorina visited the secret training grounds, and the training ground even if it is written in english, we we understand very well the british military is teaching the ukrainian zimniks to the british challengers combined defense under the code name dorchester and when ukraine will receive western fighter jets facts of the week asked about it by prime minister richie sunak our exclusive from great

britain wrecking machines fence fragments remnants of barricades from roadblocks melitopol this is the city according to legend exercises are released by the ukrainian military shooting smoke screen and moving forward is what every new recruit goes through here in great britain battles in urban conditions are considered to be one of the most difficult, and therefore training in the most realistic circumstances, a building in which there are means of dealing with the enemy, but now we can see how the cleaning process takes place in the role of bad guys, british instructors. in the occupied territories of ukraine, and nevertheless, after training, the trainers are convinced that the fighters will be ready for anything. we try to give as much knowledge and skills as possible. we teach the fighters how

to react if the enemy opens fire on them. how clear the building, how to safely approach it. andriy is an active military serviceman, the guy in his 20s has already gained combat experience, but training always opens up a lot of new details and skills, the main problem is that you don't know anyone, that you have a wall behind us , the front line is very wide and you need will return the cities, it will be necessary to clean the buildings, the streets in this rhythm, he, like all other fighters, trains every day for 12 hours, there are already artillerymen for them. these are the as-90 saushki, these artillery installations are one of the main ones in the british army will soon receive three dozen of these, and the ukrainians, oleksandr, the future commander of this acs, in the middle says that unlike the soviets, everything is computerized in the space vehicle , as if it is controlled

by a smart pleasure machine. buttons and that's enough, and everything else is done by a british computer at a time of five kilometers per hour in a water body with a depth of one and a half meters, and thanks to the computer control of the tower, it can the self-propelled gun gunner valentyn says that the gunner of the self-propelled guns automatically takes into account these errors , that is, they already give us the coordinates with the error , we just enter them, we don’t calculate, we sit there manually and don’t . extremely important in the war, every second counts, the gun of these howitzers has a caliber of 155 and its range is more than 20 km, it is very fast, three shots in 10

seconds, and a copy of this self-propelled gun, a huge simulator even simulates shaking during movement and firing and it is on it that the ukrainian soldiers learn to hit with aim. here the hydraulic system is used, and when the soldiers load the projectiles, they are pushed forward, they usually happen during a shot, then the projectile goes along this conveyor and returns to the cannon in this way , it is supported and you can practice even extremely difficult tasks. let's look out the window , there's 1.5 liters of oil in there, i mean, that 's all you need to see in the past, a tractor driver, and now a tank mechanic in ukraine, hryhoriy drove a t-80, and now he's learning to drive the legendary challenger, here is the driver's seat, how is it going, well, where i am, he says that he has to drive while lying down, which is a bit unusual, but ray is a british tank

, there are kettles, a microwave, air conditioners, it's like a soviet car, a foreign car, it's very easy , it's a weapon that will significantly improve our chances of victory, this tank was developed specifically to fight the enemy's armored vehicles, it went through combat operations in kosovo and iraq, it is extremely maneuverable, and despite the fact that it is quite heavy, 60 t is what distinguishes this tank - this is heavy armor and the tower and hull have combined protection under the code name dorchester, the components of which are strictly classified , similar to the american abrams and the german leopards, which makes these machines extremely reliable. the 120-millimeter rifled gun adds to its reliability, its shells can penetrate three-layer armor at a distance of more than 6 km how they prepare future chargers for challengers

facts of the week seen with our own eyes first they hone technique and then speed now we see how a fighter learns correctly and safely load different types of projectiles and further complicate this exercise on the training ground, the training models without guns and turrets look different, especially to train mechanics and drivers, because as many as four trainees can go at the same time, off-road training , self-propelled howitzers, armored personnel carriers, bulldogs, and the same training challenger equipment that will soon perform combat tasks in ukraine, the conditions are as reminiscent of our front lines as possible

. ukrainians were driving them in the morning, so it is true that under the tracks there is viscous clay, not ukrainian ones chernozem, but sergeant mclachlan assures that the tanks will handle it. we have used these tanks in the mud before, so i don't think it will be a particular problem. we have driven them many times in other countries on roads without a road . london downing street 10 is the residence of the prime minister. the ukrainian flag is also flying and this is a sign that the country will not stop its support for ukraine. to confirm, rishi sunak himself decided to meet with whom we get after the training ground, most of the conversation is in the off format record, but still facts of the week couldn't help but ask if ukraine will receive western fighter jets. prime minister sunak answers

purely in british diplomatic terms, it's not just planes , it's one of the elements of the force, but there are many more things that we do to support the protection of airspace in ukraine. i think we need to constantly adjust our support based on the conditions that ukraine is facing on the battlefield, and i think the priority is air defense, armored vehicles and artillery, the minister of the armed forces of great britain speaks more directly. about the allocation of aircraft it is not to be adopted, not just you apologists ask, but now you will have long-range weapons, this is what is needed for a large-scale offensive, and therefore this is exactly what we are focusing on now . soldiers here, just like on the front line , enemy drones work, artillery , a new scenario every time, everything is like the real vienna, we
