[000:00:00;00] a player, a geopolitical player, but erdan in this situation takes approximately the same position as everyone else, so that we are on the double , that is, we are not on the wrong side, although china is clearly more inclined to the side of the russian federation, according to you we should expect erdoğan to make some er movements or some er certain statements in favor of er ukraine and on the side of ukraine, because we know that there are many crimean tatars in turkey and it is clear that their support in the elections will obviously be quite significant for a cardigan well, you know what happened some progress is still positive in turkey's position. for us, it is the fact that

they joined the sanctions and were forced to introduce them in relation to the refueling of russian planes, from the ban on the purchase of e-e fuel from lukoil of other russian companies , plus the ban on transit through the territory of turkey of certain of european goods on which sanctions have been introduced, that is, a certain involvement in the sanctions policy took place there and it concerns the financial sphere, which is already good. and this can be considered progress, because before turkey, it actually did not join sanctions have already been introduced, this is already good on the other hand. i think that we should not expect any kind of breakthrough now, because after all, the elections in turkey are on the nose, everything must be perceived. it is not a continuation for longer periods. but

at the same time, it is there, and in the end, it seems to me that it will be limited to this, but i emphasize that certain positive trends in the direction of sanctions are being observed, and it seems to me that what would have happened it would be good if, er, turkey continued to follow the course of synchronization with the sanctions against russia introduced by europe. it would be useful for turkey as well. thank you, oleksandr, for the conversation. on our social networks on youtube and facebook for those who are currently following us on youtube and on facebook please like this video so that it is promoted in the recommended well and subscribe to our pages in social networks on your screens now you can see the links to these e-social networks and our accounts, you can also join our sponsor club

on the air of good day good day mr. colonel, let's start with the forecasts that were made public the other day by the adviser coordinator of the strategic communication of the national security council of the united states of america in the white house, john kirby. he said that the coming weeks will be critical in the russian-ukrainian war and the united states of america expect that the president of russia will try to launch another offensive and possibly from many other directions, we must make sure that we do everything possible so that ukraine is ready for this, what do you say about this forecast by john kirby and how well it meets expectations on the ukrainian side, well, this is not the first thing that kirby has said, and it is not the first forecast of people in general about the offensive, and we never said that

there would not be an offensive, i myself said that er, the enemy is gathering and waiting for the spring company, it will be spring, summer , it will be decisive. and they are waiting only for the weather because they have a problem directly and because in those areas where they are conducting combat operations, er, the passability of equipment and all this is not maybe well, they are dependent on it, that's why they really are. i think that there will be questions only when it dries up. and when they make a decision, they will try to develop the offensive. the one that they have now such active actions are involved, maybe the techniques of the greater part are me i think after some time, the directions are donetsk because they still have the desire and plans to capture the entire donetsk luhansk regions, access to the admin , borders and notes, the direction, and we also think that there will be some intermediate direction, it is not excluded that it will be

the northern direction e- is it in order to scrape our reserves or is it correct? i understand that the united states of america is accelerating the provision of american anti-aircraft systems to ukraine, patriot. it is precisely because of this threat of starting an offensive from, as kirby said, from many other directions, well what is meant there is the north-eastern north direction and these are all the systems that were prepared to be provided for ukraine later that they are being accelerated specifically because the russian plans have precisely the north and north-eastern direction yes, the equipment is really going, plans are being implemented, and yes, some of them are trying to train our personnel as soon as possible and send them to ukraine as soon as possible, but

literally there some time ago today, we had a committee meeting, we talked with the chief of the general staff here general sheptal was also asked a lot of questions. there were several questions about the osterovkovics directly about the training of the personnel , about the payments to the personnel, and in particular about the situation . and here is how the training is going. therefore, the training is going on . our reserves are being prepared and the equipment is gradually entering our reserve brigades in readiness of those hostilities to the scenario that will develop there in the coming weeks or months mr. colonel, the deputy chief of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense and libyan, referring to the data the military intelligence of lithuania says that russia's stockpile in the war lasts for two years, well, with the intensity

with which the russian army uses its troops, skibitsky added that if sanctions are strengthened, then this stockpile will be even smaller , according to him, there are 211 shah-heads left in the russian federation, but they are not used as massively as before, but yesterday it became known that the russian federation deconserved tanks of the 46th year of production. that is, these are tanks that were apparently preserved in siberia after the second world war. well, we see how these the tanks are moving in general and 34 it’s a little bit not they, they deconserved the t-55 and t-54, but you see, they told the second world war that we brought them from vietnam well, i think they brought them from vietnam and recently there was such information for several months

i think that it's just like that, but these tanks are coming to you right now, and they deconserved, they took siberia, where they were stationed there, and now i understand that in connection with the fact that they have a resource that is being lost, because for in order to strengthen the offensive resource, they will use it they don’t have any tanks, they are not modern, but they are still tanks, but it is much easier to destroy them than the same t-72 and even easier than the same t-62, they do not have such reservation, they did it when there were no such modern means impressions, they are even let’s say the leopards are the first to be able to stand up to them with dignity if the 62, but the first is roughly the same years. well, if you don’t take the modernization because the leopards are the first to promise us an a5 and they are modernized. some have night sights . and on the 62 there are twos. well what was in the warehouses

they are rusty and they took 55 - that’s all. well, that’s right, they went after 34, practically. and as for the resource, what did kibitsky say? well, i’m already declaring it, including on your broadcast here. is there really enough military resource in russia? to this, well, aside from the interactivity of the hostilities that we currently have until 2020, the sixth year, and there is much more human in them , they voiced for 2030 economic until 2025, so we have approximately the same information , they are there partly they come to us and tell us they give her that resource they have reserves, they still have them for some time, and our task is to deprive them of these reserves , but dmitry medvedev, the former president of the russian federation, who manages the military-industrial complex on the instructions of putin, says that the russian military-industrial complex works in three

shifts and produces the most modern russian video weapons , the only thing that medvedev complains about is that there are no imported parts for these weapons. it works in three shifts, you work, it’s called from the wheels, it goes directly to volska, well, it produces the most modern russian types of weapons, and even in a situation when we are actually asked, there are components that are blocked by oxygen in separate directions, and we produce very decent types of weapons military special equipment and weapons of defeat mr. colonel, what medvedev says that they

work from wheels means that the russian army in general, well, in fact, with the beginning of the war, well , after a year of the russian-ukrainian war, well in fact, it would be left without weapons, that is, they were preparing for this large-scale invasion in such a way that after a year they were already giving up their weapons, that’s right. well, here you need to understand that russia really did not count on such a war, it counted on the honor of another , it did not count on ammunition to be used at such a rate and to say that they, uh, that their pc works, yes, it really works, some of them really work, three shifts, but these are not factories that produce modern technological weapons, that's exactly what modern technologically, they have quite limited capabilities for the same caliber for some optics, and mainly three shifts work, these are ammunition manufacturing plants that are not technological enough 152 mm there 122 mm there

, well, they can use ordinary ammunition, they can also repair plants, we destroy them with a lot of equipment that's why they take this equipment, which is not completely destroyed , but damaged, for example, they drag it away and give it to the factories and start three shifts of work, but based on the information we have, even if the tank is easily damaged, it really can be there it is easy to repair under the condition that they work in three shifts, the tanks that they, for example, the t-62, took from storage, even according to their capabilities, the fact that they gave me information from our sources that they can use all their resources to put, as they say, on wheels seven tanks in a month, these are tanks that are taken to you for storage, because we understand that they are from the 50s, they are there and there . what are the engines there? it’s elementary, just sort it out, make it so that it drives, so that the cannon shoots shells. all this needs

to be serviced, so they are now and work like that they are trying in three shifts, yes, they have the projectiles, and they have the capabilities to manufacture them, there are other questions . yes, even though they work three shifts , they do not have the capabilities. now we are talking about a resource that they have enough for up to 2000 there 26 2018, as i was told about this by our intelligence that this would be enough due to the resources they have and the fact that they will be able to manufacture it in their own factories. and really now they are trying their diplomats and directly at the meetings there putin cimpin and northern korea is there, iran, india, they are turning everywhere to replenish ammunition because they understand that even if they are pulled out in 2026, they will remain just naked and you can take them. well, their security will depend only on nuclear weapons and what kind

of problems do they really have but there are still resources. it will be enough, i will say that even in terms of equipment and ammunition, their resources in our country so far prevail, we have to understand that . he already has been talking about this for a year, but it is very strange that they are saying again after xi jinping's visit to moscow, what does this mean, does it mean that the chinese did not influence putin and medvedev, that the chinese continue to allow them this rhetoric and the chinese are still interested that russia acts as a nuclear terrorist or a nuclear blackmailer in the whole world, what does this mean in reality

, i think that i think that we will still see the consequences after the visit of the chinese leader to russia let's see which one the rhetoric will be conducted directly by putin, because he didn't start measuring the temperature of the bear, we see what he is like right now. well , he behaves as if you know there . let's say that the offended former president of the russian federation knows how to attract the attention of those who have forgotten and are trying to conduct such rhetoric about the game. russia has recently made a lot of threats, including nuclear ones, and often no one pays attention to china's threats. china has given its clear assessment of nuclear threats. we remember let's go how they together with the president went to the united states and said about the inadmissibility of blackmail or the use of nuclear

e-e weapons there, china needs one thing - it is resources from the russian federation, it is for the russian federation to become dependent on them in the future and the territory of the russian federation, and the more putin leads this kind of rhetoric, the more putin is becoming, well, we already see a horde there, i know his arrest is issued and we will not say a handshake in other developed and civilized countries , and this city wants to occupy china as a regional leader, including taking russia under his wing and to show that china decides everything in this region, he understands that with these statements he is simply driving himself further into the hole and giving china more opportunities , that is why they made their statement but they are not repeated in order for putin to fall deeper into the hole, where later for example, china can help them, but already as an older brother, already as an older brother over them, and there is a country that can

help them there to give all their resources and all their territories in the right direction against the background of how we conduct our program and we have a pleasant conversation on our broadcast it's a nice event in russia. the yaroslavl motor plant is on fire. it produces engines, including for russian military equipment. well, we see these - it 's a beautiful photo. there is no video yet, but the photo is beautiful and i think we should be happy for the russians. because it is at this plant engines are being produced for the topol-m nuclear missile complex. well, you see, medvedev just started threatening the world with nuclear weapons again, and then, bang, the yaroslavl motor plant just caught fire, and it is clear that the world

will obviously not tolerate this for long either you said that medvedev's rhetoric is the rhetoric of the president, of the former president, who is offended by everyone. and it seems to me that this is the rhetoric of st. petersburg in general. because putin once said in one of the interviews that i was brought up in leningrad, in leningrad at that time, not by nato, but by the street and the main principle - is to strike first well, it seems to me that medvedev is trying to imitate that he strikes first regarding nuclear weapons, to threaten, etc. do you think that the education of the means and opportunities is sufficient for this rhetoric that is now echoing with medvedev's thick, well, putin's re- speaks less often about nuclear weapons and about the nuclear apocalypse. and with medvedev, this happens quite often. do they have enough means and opportunities to prevent or

at least prevent them from using nuclear weapons ? at the beginning of the war, everyone perceived a full-scale invasion. we remember how putin threatened everyone, and god forbid anyone interfere with our special operation, and all the european leaders and the united states somehow paid attention to this when they were planning now they have already said everything that no one is paying attention to it anymore, realizing that the whole civilized world will provide, let's say , it can fight back, including threats such as the russian federation, well, look who medvedev is, i'll give the secretary of the council well, this is the level, let's say, not even of the minister of defense and even well, i'm not talking about the president, there is a prime minister, that's why there are more official people, they already

use this rhetoric less because they understand that they are no longer perceived, but vededeva they release it just so that he, er, spoke and reminded once again that we have nothing and that we have nuclear weapons, er, remember at least this, the commander of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksandr syrskyi , said about what the russian occupiers are losing now significant forces in bakhmut, the enemy is expiring and the armed forces of ukraine will take advantage of this very soon. yesterday , volodymyr zelenskyi visited the bakhmut area and presented awards to the president of ukraine and visited the most difficult point, or let's say the hottest point, which is now on the russian-ukrainian front, it is not putin who, under the cover of night, travels somewhere in the micro-districts of mariupol

, but has really visited those places where the most untainted battles are now being fought, and where the armed forces of ukraine are restraining the offensive of the russian federation, taking into account the fact that the supreme commander-in-chief's successor made a decision not to withdraw from bahmut, i also announced the syrian army that the armed forces of ukraine will use this very soon, i understand that the desire of the russians to administrate the borders of the donetsk luhansk oblasts will remain so i understand wishes correctly, colonel. look, these are the conversations we hope for. we will do everything possible for this, but everything will be decided by the battle, it will be decided by each soldier who is on the front line, we will do everything to ensure that their wishes remain wishes and not

only reach the end and we will do everything in order to return our territories . the other side is that the situation in bakhmut is now. well, let's say it's so difficult and we see the tricks that the russians are trying to do , so i think now is the time that we or we leave there, we make such a decision in order to take a more favorable position for of defense or it is necessary to seize the initiative in some other direction in order to create a threat precisely by covering or breaking through the enemy by our troops, then this can improve the situation, so i will say that the situation

is threatening as the syrian says that it controlled, but i think the situation needs to be changed by some kind of counteroffensive or interception of the initiative by active actions, or here to make a big pinch, as we see there , as far as the north and the south, or in another direction , to force the russians to transfer troops where they are , there might be a breakthrough, so we are watching. i am sure that our generals he is in a coma and syrian understand the situation and understand the situation on the pond and i hope that it will not come to the point where we will have to break through the closed ring of our uh, well, the opponent of the analytics of the american institute the study of the war says that now the troops of the russian federation are increasing the pace of their offensive operations in the area of ​​avdiyivka with the aim of encircling the settlement, well, that is, that they are

still trying to move to avdiyivka from bahmut and uglydar, in what way , what do you say? well, according to the pace of events on the eastern front what what can the russians do and what not yes we see we all focused on bakhmut there is a really difficult situation but we also see that the enemy is now no less saying that bakhmut is like such a symbol yes there was another resistance in ukraine, where our soldiers are fighting heroically. but the enemy is really starting to pose a threat, and we ourselves, the avdi residents, can see it there, even on the map that can be seen in open dibstates in open resources, that they are also trying to create an encirclement there there are also serious battles going on there, they are no less serious than the tabakhmuti, as well as maryanka in maryinki there are er, practically the children of such a settlement, there is no longer an enemy of it er, erase er, face from the face of the earth

if possible to say and also tries to advance there, the situation is better. only in terms of the fact that there is more operational space for our troops to maneuver, but the fighting there is no less fierce than in the direction of bakhmut, the enemy is trying to advance and along the zaporizhia , our fighters are holding back bakhmut - that's what a place where, when attention is given, i will tell you about society and world society , what is the bear, and but there are other threatening directions and other threatening directions that need attention, that need reserve resources for in order to keep them, we have to take this into account. thank you, colonel, for the conversation. it was a novel. kostenko, colonel of the security service of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel . for those who are now watching us live on youtube and facebook, please like this video subscribe to our pages in social networks join our
