[000:00:00;00] in fact, almost the outskirts of donetsk and the donetsk airport. do you share this opinion? well, as each territory, each bridgehead can be used both in the interests of defense and in the interests of the offensive, of course , the military first of all thinks about how to defend, and then from there to attack and cause damage enemies, it is clear that some er, some territories, some settlements are more convenient for one type of hostilities and others are more convenient for another type of hostilities , of course avdiivka is located in the immediate vicinity of donetsk and of course, she is hanging over this regional center, she is not something that makes eyes cloudy, she constantly does not let you sleep and drives the russians to hysterics, they understand that from here to donetsk they can reach out and actually it is quite easy to attack because of that, of course, she is a peg in their

throats now... well, they understand that it is important for them now to push the ukrainian troops away from donetsk, but as we can see, they are not succeeding in this, they fought for a long time around the small ukrainian town of pisky, which is located 8 km from donetsk itself they tried to take these sands for half a year, in the end they managed to do it with a lot of blood, and now they have been standing under the audio booth for more than six months, trying to take it. it is a little bigger than the city, so we are talking about the fact that they will gain an operational advantage, there is no evidence of any operational advantage by taking each specific place no, they won't get it, but on the other hand, of course, for us , inna is every square meter of ukrainian land, and we will defend it as uh, we are demonstrating now, we are protecting it quite

effectively, inflicting simply unbearable now god is amazing, the fantastic losses of the russian army, in particular, pvk wagner , the so-called under bakhmut, we still do not know for sure and the numbers are only guesses, but it was the figure from prigozhyn university that appeared, who said that about 5,000 ex-convicts of the so-called i.e. prisoners who, in exchange for the future removal of criminal records, when fighting in ukraine with 5,000 of them actually after the end of the contract. understand, they said that they managed to recruit about 50,000 beautiful women. and where are the other 45,000 ? well

, you must have given the answer to your audience right away, where did they stay , and i think that bakhmut is a mass grave for wagner in the future we will understand that they buried this dead bobik here and it is unlikely that he will recover in any more or less noticeable form i mean not only the political perspective for prigozhin himself and his future in russia i mean about this a private military company that caused a lot of trouble in other countries of the world, which met its end in the fields under the bahmut, therefore those 5,000 lucky people who will have the opportunity for a short period of time to lick somewhere early now in the expanses of russia. i think in the near future they will again without much regret thrown into the war and uh, they will also play the lottery, but the lottery, which lottery is such that everyone has one during the year. now when we count, now

about half a million russians have already been thrown to the fronts of the ukrainian-russian war in ukraine about 170,000 of them died, as our general staff says . to the ukrainian front, the chance of dying is 33% within a year, 33%. in three years , practically the russian army at such rates , all the russian troops that entered ukraine will be crushed, while the rates are increasing , the lack of russian equipment is also given in the signs are that they die in much greater numbers than, for example, in the summer, when there was more equipment, when there was a greater artillery capability , today we have the opportunity to talk about the fact that we will have more

artillery power, we have equipment and theoarmament which exactly set up to work with this large amount of aromatic meat that russia sends to the fronts and because of that, this percentage of the probability of dying will only increase every day after this after this statistics are worth pondering for every russian family that is still hesitating to this day. and what to do, whether to go to the square and protest against the policies of the inept putin and his clan, or to send their relatives and loved ones to the ukrainian fronts, mr. ivan, moscow should mobilize another 400 000 troops to actually start an offensive, will they be able to do it well, as we can see, when people start counting, when they start thinking, then they will understand that their relatives, close

parents, er, brothers and husbands who will come to ukraine to the ukrainian front by april next year, for example, only two-thirds will have a chance to return. and maybe even less from those who go and want to play the lottery. of course, they will be more active in this mobilization if the question is that the common sense of fear will be simple. wake up to the russians, they will think about where there is less chance of suffering a loss, either in the ukrainian fronts or in the opposition to putin, so i do not think that the russians will have the opportunity quite easily, since they have such a mobilization the russian military system is just as affected by corruption, lies, and affection as the entire army, because of that it will have huge problems mobilizing 400,000. do you remember how they mobilized 300,000 with scandals? and now

those 300,000 have become good commercial and the number of dead among them became a good commercial for future generations and the wave of these mobilized people, so i think that they will have big problems with realizing all their spotlights and i think that with each how do you mobilize, they are getting closer this is about local russian riots, yes, i will repeat myself once again, not out of a big mind . and from insurance, a very interesting video of russian servicemen appeared, as they claim, the 8th army was created in rostov a few years ago. just in time for the offensive . i understand that to ukraine and the 8th army there first brigade something there something there and they claim that this is all that is left of their unit with er 161st men, all the rest have already died and here are some very interesting things if we can

prove ours there are almost 7 minutes make no sense it is hard to listen to them, they say several very interesting things that struck me. well, first of all, they say that they are ordered to advance and from behind the hail of troops that they cannot. he says that we have death in front and death in the back, we have nowhere to retreat, but if they all this is confirmed by those who remained from 160 men after two weeks of fighting in everything and they say that there are very interesting things that their commanders take money from them. the hospital, you are there as well you pay the doctors, if you don't pay the doctors, then you are just as injured and sent back to the front - to zero, of course you are some absolutely impressive things, but i honestly don't know. no, it doesn't seem very doubtful to me, but if the russian officers continue to earn money on this

, well, i don't know how are they going to win that war, even under such circumstances, they are not organizing any riots , in addition, there is information that they are already being delayed and the payments should be and it is already quite massive, but so far we do not see that they are somehow organizing there, that is, what must be they have the last drop. i think that the last turn in which we will sympathize with such russians and their similar statements will never happen in ukrainian land, never from the word never, because we will not sympathize with the invaders, of course. and i think so, just as cynically russian society reacts to all those problems, they understand that they are always living in this lie that they knew how to paint on tv and i think that from these true messages that reach them at the front, they they are still hiding in the tv, but the russian opposition

is growing at the front, which took over and was artificially deprived of russian tv, which faced the harsh reality, and the harsh reality for them looks exactly like this without those heroic and great efforts of the formation of the russian army - without those ideologies that say that they are the strongest, the most terrible for the whole world, that someone is afraid of them. and it looks like this when out of 160 men, these 20 ragged creatures remained when the 155th brigade of the russian elite the brigades from the 40th brigade were left, only there was some such-and-such fragment of the skeleton of the officers, and the brigades had already been updated 7-8 times, a complete update after they were destroyed on the ukrainian fronts, including near the ukrainian city of ugledar, so

the reality forces them to think now, and i absolutely sincerely hope that the basis of the russian opposition, rebellious non-revolutionary or revolution, there must be thought, and in the rebellion there , the main energy is destructive, so the basis of the russian rebellious opposition will be those who today they are fighting on the ukrainian fronts and at some point they will not bend. they will break at one moment and this violence will flow to russia in a wave and they will decide there the future of their families, the well-being of their families and the future of russia ivan ivan varchenko expert on the issue of national security, he and we talked about what is happening now at the front and when the russians will finally rebel against putin without thinking there is already ruthlessness

there is a matter behind the small, so there is no real ground they had rioters, as they say. let's look for the guys, but on that video, they are really all with crooked noses, and that nose in each of them is crooked to one side, that the commander is right-handed, the commander rioted, and he calmed them down. from the right, what are friends, by the way today, march 25, is the day of the security service of ukraine, and for several years deputies have been working on the reform of this institution, the main idea is to turn the body into a classic western special service. what prevents the security service of ukraine from becoming such and what distinguished its employees during the full-scale invasion let's see in the plot and then we will discuss this topic with this person who knows all this kitchen of a specific state body detaining putin's best man medvedchuk director of the motor sichi boguslaevo ex-director

of the state enterprise antonov and numerous traitors in cassocks today the main task of the security service of ukraine is to identify russian agents and counter-subversive work and also special operations, the details of which will be revealed already after the war, in the first year after february 24 , six employees of the sbu received the title of hero of ukraine, four of them posthumously we are also talking about systemic changes in the service itself, in particular its maximum cleansing of traitors, accomplices and those who for years created an imitation of work, when vasyl the kid spoke before the deputies on the eve of his appointment , he knew what he was talking about, he personally participated in the arrest of several traitors, in particular as the head of the sbu department in oleg kulinich's crimea , the scale of the problems in the security service became obvious after february 24. the head of the service, ivan bakanov, the ex-producer of the 95th quarter, did not

appear in public for a month for according to the information of a number of mass media, he fled from kyiv, he was released only five months after the beginning of the invasion, an internal investigation was conducted against him, the results of which have not been reported for the day of the attack on february 23 , and the first deputy of bakanov , andriy naumov, left ukraine before that, according to the mass media, he could transfer information to kremlin special services what allowed the occupiers to quickly seize the chornobyl npp naumov was detained in serbia, €600,000, $125,000, as well as 2 valuable emeralds were found in his car, and the ex-boss is suspected of treason head of the sbu in kherson oblast, serhii kryvoruchka, who could help the russians quickly seize kherson and the ex-head of the sbu of kharkiv oblast, roman dudin, such an array of crimes against the foundations of national security of the state and the connections recorded between the employees of the security forces of ukraine and the special services of russia pose very serious questions to

the relevant leaders for several years now , deputies have been working on the reform of the sbu, the main idea of ​​which is to turn the body into a classic western special service, the main task of which is counterintelligence, that is, the detection of spies and foreign agents for this purpose, in particular, the sbu wants to deprive the function of investigating economic crimes and the person we told you about who knows the kitchen of the security service of ukraine from the inside roman kostenko, people's deputy, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on ukraine , ukraine on national security, defense and intelligence and a colonel of the security service of ukraine, mr. roman, good day to you. good day, mr. roman, yes, to put it bluntly, the security service of ukraine is the sbu, is it the security service of ukraine, or is it the kgb? look

, i would like to use something with your permission. i would like to take a moment to congratulate all those who are real officers who are really doing this in order to protect our state and are doing the same to the best of their ability and are engaged in the same matters that the security service of ukraine should be engaged in. when professional officers have the opportunity, you know. it's not like before, i went out into the teams . and uh, you work for someone, you earn money, and specifically do business, and traitors and lazy people are really, uh, weeded out, and now it's happening as quickly as possible. of course, there's also a question for many and a question for the service in general, but they are now doing great things. and indeed, i am involved with many there and i know about many of them. you know such officers, perhaps who were not considered good enough there before

because they did not go to communications, some are corrupt, now they are showing themselves on the better side, therefore, to say it is the kdb or the sbu, i will say that we still have a reform ahead of us that we have to do and the kdb is generally the legislation itself and what was allowed to be done by the security services and that soviet body, and now these are the laws we want it has not yet been fully accepted. there are many questions, but it is already bringing the service closer to those aspects that you should deal with , namely the security service. when you were on the air, mr. veteri, you talked about economic zones, and now you can’t just use false legislation and they are investigating because really the economy is always funds, it is always influence and no one wants to leave it, that is , you know. i remember that the first time i got to volodymyrska street in kyiv, at

volodymyrska 42, it seems like that is where the security service is located ukraine main management, and that was before the revolution of dignity 33 okay, less so, and remember what was hung there , what struck me was that it was still there maybe even under a certain kuchma or maybe even under yanukovych yanukovych and there hung such a gallery of portraits and there, in particular, there was, for example, yezhov people's commissar the ussr and the chief chekist of the 1930s, who was responsible for all those repressions, who was the leader of all that during the holodomor in ukraine, and you just think seriously, hold on to his portrait of all the security service departments, and i served in mykolayivsk, and everyone who headed this administration there starting in the 17th year, for example, and ending well, and constantly , those who until now have also hanged those uh

, if i paid respect to everyone, and then the time came when we declassified the affairs of the uh, in particular, the genocide of the ukrainian people there, the affairs of the 30s years there in 1938 and 1937 and watched what was happening when they put people in prison, how things were literally on the same page and there they took away evidence from person to person and then shot them for 20 years and these three are workers, we understand what these people were doing, what it was like professionalisms, why did such a db exist, maybe i don’t know, maybe it might be wrong. so even saying that well, it’s the sbu , it’s not the kb, and so on and so on. well, i don’t know if it was there in the former gdr, how did it become a part of the federal republic of germany. someone from the internship was transferred to some special service of germany, and somehow there, well, i’m talking about the fact that

, wouldn’t it be possible to re-establish that entire organization, well, literally from scratch? well, because when you have here is such a past and such a legacy it's just scary, just scary, well, i'll say it again, we have a lot of valuable personnel, we have security services, and there are also people who are really there , let's say not once, one of my bosses made a mistake with the doors, and of course these people need to make such a system so that these people just didn't exist in that system and do so that they just embroider to make a new one maybe i even wrote kuchma in my memoirs at the time that he well, to disperse the security service, but i don't remember kuchma or kravchuk in my memoirs, what did he want to disperse and create a new one, but marchuk is late, he didn’t let him do it and assured him that it shouldn’t be done, maybe it was already a mistake. but after the fight, they don’t wave their fists, of course, if

they were to create a security service from scratch, and it was a ukrainian ideology, the new people are possible until now professionals have already arrived because training a real operative is necessary. so it cannot be one year, er, tens of years, and here heredity is of great importance when officers learn from officers. unfortunately , this was once lost in our country, and now we let's say in kolinka, we're fixing it all, and it's those guys who have what's left of this knowledge of this skill, and in general, the ability and desire, now they're doing work for the entire security service , mr. roman, you're talking about specialists who really work there for the security of ukraine and our previous head of the security service of ukraine is a person who is new to this, for example, why did they appoint him and not someone who

has been working for a long time for the sake of, well, working for the sake of ukraine and for the sake of its security, why did p bakanov end up there, who as soon as it started a full-scale invasion disappeared somewhere and then we were told that there is no investigation conducted by the state bureau of investigation into his person, but in fact the dbr denied this information, so it is not clear. where is that mr. bakanov, how did he disappear, what happened to him, did he have any criminal record activity or criminal pension activity ? so, just as the president himself said that there were many questions for the law enforcement agencies, i will say that you said that there is in the state the head of the kherson region is being accused yes that one well i i think that i spoke with some leaders of the security service, they say that there is no state council anymore. i guess this is how it can

be estimated that there are still issues that will be investigated, but there are more responsibilities, a person could not cope with this issue of personnel appointments when they started the same thing bakan, he was appointed by the president to the position i don't know, maybe according to the script of the movie servant of the people, they already appointed their friend there too, but there were many questions before that, on the terms, during his entire term, there were questions. and people turned to me and said and we talked about it, well, as a result, they showed that, and i am generally in favor of a politician heading the security service, yes, because after all, it is a body that, if you direct it, it will go and become the kdb through the sbu. in general, it often depends on its head, because it can to be the best professional operative, but if he obeys and, uh

, he will be tasked with making it a kdb. it depends on the security of some service in which direction it will work and what its priorities will be, sooner or later we will find out where mr. bakanov himself is at a time when there is a full-scale , i can only tell you a point, i can’t pass uh, in general, he is really in ukraine there was an official investigation against him. and then i understand that it did not go through. this official investigation. well, what is the official organization of the security service, and after he was fired , it conducted an official investigation according to his activities, and then the following the next step should be, if any violations are found, to transfer it to, well, in this case, to the dbr, because it is against ukraine, it can be included in the program, if it is not detected, then they will not transfer it, i don’t know, the last time was when we had vasyl vasyliovych the kid, the head of the security service. he said that this investigation is classified, and since

we had an open meeting, well, we could not get this data , so i hope that somehow we will invite vasyl vasyliovych and ask us what the investigation showed. let's say they played along or were unable to organize the work of the security service, then the questions should be, and we will deal with this in the same way as with the armed forces, where there are mistakes, uh, at the beginning, in the plot itself, we said that this is one of those conditional successes of the last during the war, this is, for example, the detention of medvedchuk, but medvedchuk himself is now russia. he says that he was detained by no accident and that he was detained on a billboard, the defense simply recognized him. medvedchuk, to put it mildly but nevertheless, i did not receive it, it went without any reaction and knowing that bakanov was in some strange

state at that time, that is, it should also be checked whether the sister is now the security guard, who has already transferred the case to the security service, as if it was a success bakanova, we have two minutes less documents, uh, the success of the tank is on you. let’s say yes, but i just don’t know if it’s open information or not open information regarding who complied . let’s say yes, the fate of security had to do with this in relation to the beginning, well, all this reassures us in fact, mr. roman, and well, finally, regarding the number of security services, they sometimes say that i would come across such figures that, having several times smaller security services, for example , britain, there are some other countries with great success, oh , they have better intelligence, counterintelligence, what do you think about it, look at me their vision. perhaps many people in the security service will not even agree with me. there are many in

the service who have duplicate functions to perform. even now they conduct very good operations, but it happens that these are military operations there to destroy military equipment, for example good guys, they work there, they destroy military equipment by the dozens, but from my point of view, these are military operations, it should be done by the military and fight on the field, they are afraid of the case of the example of the military, yes, the service there, they have anti-terrorists, all the others. therefore, i believe that these are duplicative functions that should be given to the army but now we have such a situation, this is my subjective point of view that the service should deal with operational matters, operational combinations of counter-intelligence activities, and burning tanks is the right of the military only. here we often have different opinions, and there are many, but there are a lot of du-vomits. of course, kostenko, people's deputy, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, and the sbu colonel took us out , stay with us for a while, and very soon we will return to this studio. but first
