[000:00:00;00] leave everywhere there are risks in honor and praise to them and eternal memory for them, as andriy said, heroes who leave every day into eternity , let's talk about the counteroffensive. because of that, the weather and what we feel are definitely at play here. looking from the side and knowing something, the defense forces of ukraine are actively preparing for this, and the rest should be felt by our enemies . military and political

management or this serious operation will someday be analyzed and there will definitely be those who will support and others will speak and analyze whether it was right and whether it was the main option for solving this issue and i would like to talk today about also and rammstein also agrees with the military that not everything is said there, we will feel it unequivocally and it is very important not to let intelligence and counter-intelligence rush to read everything that was decided there. but i am sure that it talked about many of the things that today our military needs, and about airplanes and other military equipment, i was recently alarmed by information from the un that a group worked there and they prepared a very

strange conclusion to me according to which they believe that the russian military is not committing genocide on the territory of ukraine because the very main task which appeared in front of him, this indicates that this international institution should go into the past, it is an example of israel, which was forced to fight and draw its own conclusions because of that, it is sad, but we have nothing to hope for such institution, including international tribunals and courts, we need to think and plan how to demand from the international community in the future that the rashists bear responsibility, and it is important that everyone does his job in his place. i am sure that in the coming days we will we will vote to increase the budget for the defense forces

, for the forces for the defense sector, we will also talk about the funds that were withdrawn from the military, not 30,000, another amount, but it is important that the first thing is justice, and secondly, that the military i felt that he was doing deadly dangerous work protecting the state, and for that he and his family have a decent payment, that is, it is important that everyone does their job, and in general , it is clear that every day should be lived, it is a day that brings us closer to a common victory. i believe that it will be a price extremely high, i agree, but for example, i am offended by the words that the armed forces of ukraine have lost professionalism, this is not true. this is clear, but the secretary of the national security and defense council as a person who receives

the latest operational information from the troops from intelligence . he very clearly answered what in fact they write a lot, after all, they have the right to this, we are grateful for the partnership, but they are insulting tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers who may not have great military experience , but still they protect their land, they do it knowing the risks, they do it in a professional way in my opinion. once again, honor and praise to them. that is, we can say that indeed the ukrainian army is losing professional fighters , unfortunately, this is a war, but it is not losing its professionalism unequivocally and this is really important, when such an active phase of the war began

. we all perfectly understand that even today it is already it is clear that ukraine was only the first country that putin planned to seize from, restoring his childhood dream that he should go down in history as a person who restored the soviet union and ukraine and moldova and poland and georgia and to move on unfortunately, today we really have historically that we have a situation when we have that the world will be divided into democratic countries and non-democratic countries , understanding that russia's situation in the war with ukraine has reached such a point that russia began to analyze and give positions, and accordingly, for the world, it has every chance together, thanks to our armed forces , to get a victory, finally, such big players have openly joined here, including china, which

is trying today, and belarus, as a puppet of putin, who goes to all the various negotiations today we see that the major battles that are taking place in the world, unfortunately , today primarily concern ukraine, you know when we talk about a long war or just a proactive phase of the war, we do not know how long will it last because i am convinced that no analyst today in the modern world can fully predict when exactly this war will end and they could not do this in and in previous wars because a number of events took place that changed the course of history and the same everything will happen together with us. however, i am convinced that we should look for non-traditional methods that may have been taught in us before or to which we should

compete we should not compete with russia in terms of numbers, we should compete with them in a certain way by tricks and quality, we understand that their military generals and their privates actually are set on somewhere on the same course of war that was back in the second world war, in general, what are they used to think creatively about offering some things, first of all, to them it is not welcome, secondly, they actually carry out only those commands that are given to them, and that with reluctance, because we understand that there is still only wagner's private army that is fighting today because they are professional fighters and today our armed forces have actually practically destroyed it it's already leftovers of this army that we found under bakhmut and there are simply these mobilized people who do not know how to think about the task. i hope that we are not military personally, we are just people's deputies, but

we have military and analysts in our general staff, and i am convinced that our strength lies in that that we have to introduce non-standard certain events, a certain course of the war, we have to do what they don't expect us to do and we have to take quality, you know, a lot , really, each of us and all ukrainians have guys. i think they are incredibly patriotic people who do a lot of things did on in their places before the war, and today they are at the front and they themselves say that we should value the life of every soldier, because every one of our military defenders and defenders, because these are incredible people, these are people who already have that daily experience and every loss - this loss is very strong it hurts because even the staffing that is happening today and will continue, it needs some time for the boys

to become friends so that the boys can go into battle together . that is, the life of each military person should be very important to us, this is what distinguishes us from of our enemy from moscow, this is the first and it is very important that our soldiers feel that everyone's life is important for us, for our country, for the general staff, and the second - this is a non -standard for years, including about i think that we need to not just talk about to give us new weapons and our military will go abroad to study, we need to ask and demand that you allow ukraine to have the right to engage in private campaigns , private units that can come to us, private armies of the aces, including

from the united states of america who can come here to ukraine and teach our guys here on the spot to use the equipment that we receive from abroad, that is , if we have it in combat conditions, rather correctly, if we are talking about the fact that we are asking for combat falcons in f -16 and we ask to give us these planes, so we understand that for us today, a pilot who will go to study in the united states of america, for example, or another country, is he worth his weight in gold, because there are very few such pilots, in fact, today we protect our boys and girls, they protect us at the cost of simply incredible efforts and if other governments allow it and i believe that today more than ever is the best time to talk not only about the fact that we are given these weapons and we will allow military personnel from other countries to come here at their own will and ukraine will be able to pay for their work and they will be able to teach us. that is, you and i understand what it is like to actually fly such

combat planes if they even let us, uh , but the country will get them. airplanes, this will mean that we will be much faster, we will have advances on land, and this will mean that our guys will fly here together with these aces, you understand, and it seems to me that we need to constantly offer and demand new options that are more convenient for us, and this is constantly arguing that as long as europe thinks that they will make weapons for themselves, and after that they will hand them over to us, or while we are waiting for some kind of help to receive some kind of help, we are losing time for us today, time is the key thing that we have to save in that

number to push our forces forward well here it is very important somewhere so i will let you slip that er we need to demand more courage from our partners because they are trying to play by the rules just like with this and then the violation of the rules was shot down in the black sea about what do we say that, according to the rules, if they started to attack the planes of the russian federation, this is already the entry of the usa into a military conflict, but the russians, despite this, can do what they want in those countries where they want and enter into these military conflicts please, and indeed, now there are various statements of these military personnel, what are you talking about, er, servicemen of the astov who are ready to come to ukraine and personally teach to fly these fighter jets, maybe with us, i want to sit down for a word now p. lyakhovych, but to blame him for the fact that he spoke about it again, how he hinted that you were in kyiv, and you know how difficult it was to defend kyiv, and that was a year ago. and in fact, if we remember

now, on september 16, it was a year ago if the battles for kyiv continued in march and september because officially, if you believe in wikipedia, on april 2nd, the kyiv operation ended with the retreat of russian troops , so if you recall and maybe tell the details that it is not known how much it was, how complicated this battle for kyiv was, and why its historians are not ours now ended like this and we would still go to our victory, but already now historians call it eh maybe the key battle eh of this full-scale invasion of the russian federation why so thank you well i will say so probably somewhere a little more and a little less year, we met here in the studio, we stopped by when we arrived, there were still posts of resistance and kyiv was probably still fighting somewhere in the month of march , yes. if i am not mistaken, i already forgot to give, but what

happened in kyiv in the first days, convoys of people came from kyiv, by the way, i want to use it now we recently celebrated all the volunteers who stayed in kyiv and specifically emphasized the volunteers from lviv who, against the fury of these people who left kyiv, went to kyiv because they understood that then it was necessary to defend the capital, if we defend the capital, then we will fight more evenly, we will push the enemy abroad from our occupied territories , but kyiv was the main center, because if somewhere surrendered to kyiv or something happened in kyiv, well, we did not know how she returned history, since the territories remained, which territories in the future abroad, we understood that russia would not have stopped at ukraine, it would have been further moldova, poland, the baltics, i was not here, that is

, these brave people who are in kyiv, as andriy said they gave out their weapons correctly, everyone was in the center, from the center they went to the outskirts of kyiv. there was such a fierce struggle in the fields, the same hunters , when it happened that on one side of the forest, on the other side, other enemies of ours, and in the forest, the hunters were shooting, and when they came to those our hunters will come in. but you show us who is ours so that we don’t accidentally have all of them, we didn’t understand, that is, how in these anecdotes , there were some that who doesn’t come in and it’s not ours, that is , kyiv defended itself then and gave this push that in the future gives our victories and we become more professional, i think abroad, and even more so across the ocean, it is probably more visible how

unprofessional our army is becoming, but my lviv natives paid attention to the two territorial defense brigades 103 and 125, now they are some podbakhmanov, some podkrymena, our units are standing we remember that a year ago they were gathered here, they stood at roadblocks , we were preparing for something, and now they are not inferior to combat brigades such as the 24th and 80-95th brigades , with which they stand side by side there, defending , so we can talk about professionalism or has it become whether it is smaller or larger here, it is still necessary to argue, simply when they get to the front line, they have to learn three times faster and in combat conditions, and for this, for sure, when we are further from the areas of hostilities, we must prepare for this war, do not run, do not run away from

military commissars, but to communicate with the guys who are soldiers who are coming and to get some events for themselves, some principles, so that when it is necessary to go , we can still replace those guys, so that we are ready, everyone is ready and not afraid and understands what they need to do, because the year the wars are going on, the guys are fighting for a year, but they are fighting for a year. yes, there are deaths, there are quite a lot of dead people, we lost the best, but we also raised a professional enough army from ordinary people from engineers from teachers, doctors , tractor drivers, drivers, we created an army , a professional army, the armed forces - this is about the unity of the people of the citizens of ukraine who this fact, well, if it were increased, improved, and we do not worry, we have professional soldiers who are ready when there is an offensive, ready

to withdraw a little and prepare a change that will join the offensive, because the offensive is still more intensity than defense, i want to briefly and literally quote an internal chat between the employees of our tv channel. and here is the host of the national talk show , tuesday, this broadcast is aired, maria shymanska writes that this broadcast was very catchy and brought back a lot of memories. and here she really remembers how all lviv residents they did it simply well, maybe we didn’t fully understand everything at the time, but we made molotov cocktails and passed them on to kyiv , they were perhaps in the conditions of the current artillery war, these were trifles, but they were such psychologically important trifles that for sure we gave our fighters psychological support, you are a person who communicates. well, maybe we know that foreign intelligence suggested that president zelensky go somewhere . well, maybe in lviv, maybe in vinnytsia, maybe in some other cities, we don’t know what our military did. in those days, what did they report?

to what extent the situation around kyiv was stable for the ukrainian military, which actually held the defense, it is clear that they advised the president about this, i think we never spoke, we always heard that the president there was offered to leave kyiv and he said that he needed a weapon, not a taxi, so he didn’t leave kyiv , so actually, i wonder how our military saw this situation at the time. ok, where are you standing, it was 100% true andriyya two mountains i really wanted to be in command of the defense of kyiv general syrsky who was appointed commander of the land immediately to the central e-e headquarters and this one but there was a tense

situation for just a few days well, they just fell the blacks were moving aside, no one saw the people, there was an unclear situation, if everything was around and everything was in command, i think then his memoirs will simply have to be recorded , the first commander of the trio forces, yuriy livoch galushkin, who is also a bunch days says we need to pass a law on weapons, we need to teach. he says yes, they don’t let me. we have an option to do dftg, but how to do it is unknown. yes, we will have problems now, and they are all together with sobko and the chief of staff. what, too, and if everyone black

there were a bunch of unprepared people from one letter, you know, at the same time they sent part of the military to the east in an organized manner, just the day before, for some reason there remained a bunch of patriotic people who really went into this frenzy with them in e-e weapons , unpacked photocopies of passports , formed groups that immediately advanced and fought with what what is the way to do it, on one side, the artillerymen who instantly pulled up on the other side from zhytomyr, the 95th brigade and the commander on the other side, the 72nd brigade, then spread out on two banks to the left

and on the right they just smeared and uh uh a bunch of tyros that formed right away like that , that's what we asked for according to the law. about that, it's normal , not fake, now it's kind of a beautiful year of the troops of the territorial defense forces - it's just uh now already pride and all, but this has nothing to do with territorial defense, which we talked about, civil defense is the business of the entire ukrainian people, although it is also beautiful and was created heroically at this moment, so no one has confidence, because the desire to endure, the desire to survive, to give

the opportunity to the maximum number civilians to leave and those who remained, with terrible, frightened eyes, were at the first checkpoint, stopped honorably without setting a combat mission, stood without weapons, and you remembered those cocktails that were poured everywhere and poured everywhere because they believed that it would really help, were people ready to throw a cocktail or everyone understood that in order to throw it, the equipment must be near you . listen, well, we saw those people who went up to the tanks with their hands, not having weapons, do you remember that, well, there were tears, what kyiv kyiv is already in a week and a half the first if there was already an understanding that it was possible to cut off the logistics lines from the north , to break them, it was possible to establish a good

system of interaction and these daily meetings in the morning and in the evening in the central headquarters in the defense headquarters in this other and the task that stood here, including before andrii, is the maximum number of people who have already received weapons, to unite them into separate combat-ready squads so that it is not just citizens with automatic weapons, that these are combat-ready squads that are able to carry out orders, i don't yes, i didn't then, in fact, it turned out that the kyivans and those who joined them, that they are not just called the capital, that they live in the capital, they defended their city , and this is extremely beautiful, mr. velichkovych , they didn't say a word to you today, those molotov cocktails - this is that creativity, nice oksano, about which you said that our military needed it, it started with

molotov cocktails and everything. but instead , i remembered the russians. they always repeat everything, they steal all ideas in music and in culture and in military affairs, they also use a lot of what they see and do, and our military, including on the front lines , that's why they're good at stealing. i think that what they're doing is a parody of that you know that the first months were in kyiv. they will probably write memoirs about it and think that it is not the time to write because who was in kyiv then, i had the opportunity to be in kyiv this month for the first time and together with the 206th battalion of the petropavillion stood between any choy and kyiv and i remember those first weeks or the first days when

well, the enemy rushed to kyiv, and these were the first times when our military units were just living , the battles were going on. and we and the first company of the battalion were just covering and who remembers those exercises so far? we had grenade launchers and were ready to break through even tank columns , we understood that it would be terrible, that it would be tragic, but we were preparing and uh, really, i agree that during that year the turboron came out of such a state. well, i will say embryonic, it will be, it will be incorrect it will be disrespectful to the people who were, but became a really serious

such force , which is now a full-fledged military such an association. psychological special operations are still going on all over the world and it seems to me that such stages that came out not only in washington, this post, but in some other mass media in newspapers around the world are the same narrative, the same informational ones components that indicate that russia is trying to use democratic countries, their platforms, their democratic approach in order to promote some of its topics, therefore , the point is related to the discrediting of not only ukraine's armed forces, but also to question the expediency of international aid in ukraine, whether it is military or financial - that's all there is, it seems to me that this is

an element of a large informational and psychological special operation of russia and we see that what is happening now is not only a component of we are a means of information . changes to the constitution of taxis and other laws about the fact that in all the laws of moldova, only the term romanian is now used, a dot in moldavian and romanian and that's it, that's it . what russia is doing now in the countries around

ukraine is also very, very revealing in europe today it was very interesting how the government of poland said that they do not want bucha to happen again in poland, so they called on all other countries to help ukraine with weapons, to support ukraine so that it does not happen again in poland or in other countries , today's statements today, we see that as in many countries , even the same ones are happening in germany. an elementary step, what did germany do today, it seems to have nothing to do with the military sphere , it

refused to hold a fencing competition in germany why? dependencies of those influences that this great eastern aggressor exerted in the whole world , because it is no secret that these campaigns took place in all spheres, they tried to push their agents into financial affairs and invested huge amounts of money in order to buy their establishment, someone from the establishment took some other steps , we see that it is beginning to see, well, the leveling of this is happening, we see how the alleged russian influence in the balkans is happening, in particular, look at serbia, which was always considered so pro-russian, well, even for a decade and the last century we see how serbia is under the influence of what is
