[000:00:00;00] in a military and non-military way, the situation with the withdrawal of enemy occupation units from this strategic object, in my opinion, the situation is now the best possible for the ukrainian state and for the democratic world with the fact that putin created a crisis around the zaporizhia nuclear plant. and secondly, that he threatens to place tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of the republic, which does not have such a contractual right to storage, that is, putin is obviously violating a huge number of international documents that regulate the treatment of peaceful objects, which is an atomic power plant and a non-proliferated nuclear power plant, this creates two important fundamental sites in order to worsen the situation in the russian

federation itself. first, putin is clearly and unequivocally violating the assumed obligations he is still in most cases a signatory for the past 22 years of bribes to the russian federation , obligations not to distribute weapons, not to use such other things, i am not talking about the budapest memorandum where the russian the federation is the guarantor of the security of ukraine, which got rid of nuclear weapons. what we need to understand now is that putin's situation is so bad that he uses nuclear blackmail as an element of creating chaos, or sells the problem as ways to solve it, that is, he creates a problem and then says let's solve it or sit down at the negotiating table and you agree to my proposal, new demands on my ultimatums, or i will scare you there in the nuclear ash there we are paradise there, who is vlad ? first of all, in addition to chaos, he is creating the best, in my opinion, the best conditions are being created now to

make putin hurt in the direct and indirect center by imposing sanctions on obvious violations of the russian federation's obligations regarding the treatment of peace and war atom and we can now on international platforms, including with the help of the united nations , make a decision that would bleed the russian economy not as slowly as those sanctions there during the last nine years, and this will be bloodletting, which will be practically fatal for the russian economy. i mean that we should practically prohibit or limit as much as possible the movement of merchant ships in international public waters, where putin has repeatedly demonstrated the use of military equipment , and he will send peaceful ships where he will use peaceful ships is carrying out prohibited military equipment, that is, he has already

violated so much that for the west now very good conditions are being created in order to introduce very painful sanctions that would bleed the russian federation what would baby and more such conditions where conditional consonant poisons eh not only beg in the russian federation, where putin would be deprived of power, although in fact this is the most uh, strong position of putin, it is precisely to retain power because he is not. that is, you think, mr. andriy , that removing putin from power is a good strategic goal here, returning to the situation zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. do you think there are any additional tools

to make sure that the russians take away from there? well, the territories would be, so to speak, given the status of demilitarized zones . or for the whole world, that's all with the help of sanctions, and it's wonderful for the federation , it doesn't hurt so much that they come, radiation and nuclear facilities simply fall into prostration and simply get rid of any purposeful direction of action in the vicinity such objects, then it will simply close the door for putin to threaten the world with the next use of nuclear weapons, and they will bypass civilian objects not 10, but 50 km away. god forbid, even in the air space, nothing flew closer than 20-30 km , because whatever -what is the fall of the rocket projectile, it in a certain sense poses a critical danger due to the emergency shutdown of the power supply system

of nuclear reactors in order to safely , let's say, turn it off from the network so that there is no repetition of the chernobyl tragedy and other a way than power putin simply does not recognize. and now i repeat for the third time that the conditions are now very well created where he is blackmailing the nuclear plant and the use of the territory of the republic of belarus for the placement of tactical nuclear weapons, which he is definitely not dares to use but nevertheless, we can now, as soon as possible, it is a matter of diplomats to find such an option so that the russian economy simply bleeds and is unable to finance the aggression of the russian federation against our state. very good conditions now, thank you very much, mr. andrii andriy teteruk, officer of the voluntary formation free ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine of previous convocations, he was in touch with us. well, regarding the pressure that the russian

federation is feeling in connection with the sanctions and what resources in terms of finances, they can still manage russia is hiding from the public an unprecedented third of its budget expenditures of 31 billion dollars, which is a clear indication of how the year of war against ukraine reshaped state finances and economic priorities of the russian federation, bloomberg writes about it, data from the russian ministry of finance indicate that the classified or unspecified expenses of the russian federation as of september 24 have increased to two and four tenths of a trillion rubles, which is more than twice the level for the same period last year, according to estimates by bloomberg economix well, actually, this means that uh-uh, of course sanctions on russia are felt, but this only stimulates it to spend precisely on the military-industrial complex rather than well and on obtaining some kind of vision of its own

stability, so far there is some kind of disaster there obviously not happening. well, we are now adding to our marathon kateryna musienko, deputy of the kremenchug city council, deputy head of the commission on international issues. glory to ukraine, ms. kateryna. we congratulate you, hero. well, a delegation of ukrainian regions visited germany. four leaders of ukrainian communities, with the support of the ants network, carried out an advocacy visit to germany and held a marathon of meetings in munich, speyer, heidelberg , magdeburg and dresden, please tell us about this visit , how did you meet in germany? to offer support to the specified four regions of ukraine, german officials and representatives of local german self-government were really left to complete such spartan work , they visited a lot of places, in fact, two cities per day. it was a very important work of representatives of four regions of a very wide geography, representatives

of the starosalki community and of the kharkiv region as a representative of the kremenchug city council, as well as the city of nizhyn and the two western communities of zhovkva and lytobyshche, the actual purpose of this the purpose of the visit, supported by actions and the ukrainian victory center, was to strengthen cooperation between regions in order to strengthen our decentralization gains , to convey political signals to german partners, and also to talk about our projects that are already ready for reconstruction, certain opportunities for german partners, and of course we received good feedback from the german format, everyone was happy to welcome our delegation and of course interested in our projects because our communities have something to show and we already see that we are not delaying our readiness to reconstruct our communities to make them better for post-war times we have already come to them in order to talk about specific

projects of cooperation and opportunities . it was important to convey political messages because the communities in germany are a federal system, that is, they do not always receive the latest news, and it was important for us that germany continue to support ukraine and strengthened this support for specific projects, we usually talked about the urgent needs of communities - this is the provision of communal equipment, which is very important for all communities, special medical equipment and special assistance , which can already be used by our internally displaced persons, in particular, in the city of kremenchuk, which is now located 32,000 internally displaced persons are still a serious challenge for the community, and that is why we asked them for support in such humanitarian projects

, cultural projects, educational projects, but also did not forget to talk about more serious infrastructure projects, in particular in the field of energy. germany is very famous for its approaches to green energy, for example , the installation of windmills of these panels . must comply with these european standards, green agreements , other important components, therefore, infrastructural environmental projects, as well as energy projects were voiced to us, i wanted i would also like to ask about another point, the willingness of kremenchuk himself to accept this assistance at the proper level, we understand. there are certain problems , so to speak, with the infrastructural development of funds, so accordingly it is necessary to prepare accompanying documentation and so on. well, it is not just that money was transferred from one account to

another account, yes must be in a proper way of ensuring, so to speak, financial reporting and so on and so on. of course, this applies not only to your hometown, but also to the local self-government of ukraine in general. the cities are more ready for something like this, there are appropriate cities that are not too ready like in kremenchuk. however, it is very interesting to everyone that this is a problem not only of the regions, it is a problem of the whole of ukraine when we talk about the reconstruction plan about the large trillions of funds invested in this plan. of course we are talking about effective monitoring the use of these funds , the avoidance of corruption risks and the readiness of our system, the institutional capacity to even prepare these projects and to use investment instruments correctly in relation to communities, the question is that some communities the ukrainian authorities are even more ready than the central ukrainian authorities to distribute such funds, but unfortunately we cannot yet say that kremenchuk is 100% ready. there is indeed a question of distributing

these funds, there is a question of building separate bodies that will be responsible for overseeing this aid, and here, of course, there is a big role it is precisely the expert environment and our citizens because the involvement of citizens in this process , their certain supervision over the entire process is very helpful, although of course the institutions themselves must now prepare and to look for specialists who, in particular, can work in english, who know how to form these investment projects according to the needs of our european donors, to know the requirements of all donors that they put forward ukraine. therefore, it is a big challenge from other sides , we are also talking with international partners about what they should help communities to strengthen this institutional capacity to prepare special courses forums conferences webinars in order to improve the awareness

of local professionals well and again during during our visit to each german city, we emphasized that we want to learn and see their experience, how they do it, that is, how they write these projects, what requirements they have to meet. thank you ms. kateryna kateryna yanko member of the kremenchug city council deputy head of the committee on international affairs of the kremenchug city council number we inform you of the most important espresso studio is open khrystyna yatskiv and antin borkovskii about the matter of help for ukrainians and ukrainian communities e.e., there is news from our partners great britain and poland have agreed to build two temporary villages in ukraine, they will be designated for the accommodation of displaced persons sky news reports on this, it is noted that temporary villages will be built in the lviv and poltava

regions, britain has promised to allocate 10 million pounds sterling to finance temporary villages, the british government has said that approximately 700 people over the past year putin has continued to target civilian homes and infrastructure for which the ukrainian people have paid a high price this new british-polish partnership will help provide light and homes to those who need it most said foreign minister james cleverly i wonder if it will be from scratch the construction of a full-fledged settlement with all the infrastructure, is it possible to take as a basis some already existing settlements of ours in some communities that can be rehabilitated, or even resurrected? i just understand the spirit, the key story is, so to speak, the number of beds that should be provided, that is, one story if it concerned, i don't know, five thousand residents of a potential town, and the second thing is when it comes to and with it. there are about 300

or so 500 is the second most expensive time. of course, it will be additional networks such as sewerage, gas, water, light, etc. and so on, but here is the important news: in nizhyn , a street has already been renamed in honor of the hero of ukraine oleksandr matievskyi. this was announced by the mayor of nizhyn, oleksandr kodola. matievsky in the world's memory, may god rest in peace with the ukrainian fighter who did not surrender and was shot by the enemy for the phrase "glory of ukraine", so according to the mayor of nizhyn, today during the session of the nizhyn city council, the deputies made a decision to rename the street, the third neighborhood on the street named after oleksandr matievsky, he became the personification of courage and bravery of all defenders of ukraine, in this decision our long communication with the mother of the fallen hero was conveyed, various options were discussed, immortalized to his memory at the city level, one of the options was the renaming of the streets of one of the central streets of the city in honor

of the deceased, in addition, there are still a number of proposals under consideration regarding the perpetuation and commemoration of the hero, one of them is the installation of a monument to oleksandr matievsky and the nearest sometimes experts in nizhyn will start work on the creation of a memorial complex on the alley of heroes at the local cemetery. well , now we will talk about the rather interesting and delicate, as for me, situation of our relations with bulgaria, a country of the european union a country of the north atlantic alliance, ukraine, which, at least in its rhetoric, has so far refrained from shouting too loudly in support of our country , nevertheless, nevertheless, in practice, this support of the defense forces of ukraine has already been felt, may be felt now and may be felt in the future bulgaria can sell a large amount to ukraine munitions through intermediaries, which can significantly affect the course of hostilities, informs the administration about this

, referring to the local media. i propose to start with our long-awaited dear kyriech expert defense express, who is already in touch with us ivan, we congratulate glory to ukraine glory to the heroes , so what about bulgaria, are there really still resources that ukraine can provide us with optical means, but still can provide us with help, i am asking the bulgarian establishment about this already directly says that they still have something to sell well, it means that there really is and there really is talk of such large amounts of ammunition that to the bulgarians they look so huge that the epithet used is capable of changing the course war well, on the one hand, it is hardly worth expecting. well, right there, almost millions of artillery shots are the volume of deliveries from bulgaria, but on the other hand, well, there is the fact that the bulgarians can give us, in principle, this nomenclature of the necessary ammunition, starting with

giving up to three and ending with 15 0 e if the temperature is declared to be about 200 million euros, then it may really be about, well, it is not even that there are several tens of thousands and several hundreds of thousands of shots of various calibers that may be delivered for the armed forces of ukraine if we talk about what or this suddenly arose such an initiative from the east to give all ammunition to ukraine, no, not from the east, because to begin with, dad went to bulgaria, the czech republic differs in such historical-russophile attitudes, but private the defense sector of bulgaria well, he is still somewhere in the beginning up to a thousand and ten, he is still actually touching the russians crimea he is working against the kremlin, well, as an illustration, bulgarian private companies sold e-e to the opposition to the regime of bashar al-assad in syria, this

also, what kind of ammunition? why did the russians get so angry? well, when it turned out that bulgaria supplied us with some ammunition back in 2014, they already had it, and harry went ahead with undermining local arsenals , if we consider the situation after february 2022. that is, there was talk not only about the supply, well, a very specific caliber of ammunition. well, for example, 100 mm projectiles for mt-12 rapier guns, which we previously imported to us, also lit up and anti-aircraft guns caliber 57 mm s60, well , non-standard caliber 57 mm are guns of the d44 caliber 85 mm hm, it is obvious that such we could take ammunition, except that, as bulgaria says, it was produced by ukraine, which historically produced all ammunition for artillery systems of the warsaw pact standards , but there is one more nuance that it is possible that bulgaria even carried out certain hidden deliveries of soviet-made armored vehicles. well

, there, too, let's say using formally private companies are buyers through third hands and the like and the like. well, because there is no other way to explain some episodes when, well, what they call everything and analysts, well, that is, people who are studying data from open sources. let's say they noticed t-72 tanks at the disposal of our defenders when the battles were active in the summer of 2022. well, let's say with clear signs of modernization at bulgarian private enterprises, because if on paper bulgaria has only 90 tanks and 72, but in fact there are all kinds of interesting armored vehicles in bulgarian warehouses in formally private disposal, it can be quite well to be found and lying around well, even more so, i have a question. and why did bulgaria actually not confirm its participation in the european union's plan to purchase one million ammunition for ukraine, on the one hand , as we understand. they may have plans to transfer large

volumes of ammunition to us, and they said about several hundred thousand, while here the eu is trying to agree on a million. that is, it is a very specific time part, nevertheless they are trying to do it in their own way, not to join the general project of the european union, why? well, it is possible . there are simply some foreign policy factors at work, because there were data from an open source report that, for example, for expansion the americans gave money for the production of munitions for ukraine in bulgaria, and right there and then. the question is that the subjectivization of the european union in terms of various defense initiatives there is a kind of counterbalance where the united states plays a leading role, and here it is obvious that different wishes could have been expressed which bulgaria decided publicly not to join this plan in the end, well, such an example is a country that has its own capacity for the production of ammunition, but

somehow became a little autonomous. the position that oh they say we cannot now, well obviously in order to knock out some preferences, but now directly from the euro-spies union in terms of finances , for example, is much more difficult, but we will not give up on it now, i would like to return to the story about shells, in particular, we are talking about today's statement or yesterday 's minister of defense of france, sebastien le cornet , who said that france is going to double the 100th supply of 155 mm projectiles, which are used, in particular, for french artillery howitzer installations, all now but so to speak, the number is not very comforting. i did not check it in the french primary sources, but 2 155-mm projectiles is not enough , that is, as far as we understand, if we are talking about

2000, then the initial figure was actually a thousand. the production of projectiles in france, but what is monthly production , even if it is distorted somewhere? the system did not deal with the fact that the basis of the ground forces consisted of such light expeditionary forces that, if necessary, you can put somewhere, well, in general, what are the peripheral regions called, well, or the baltic countries, at best, or generally somewhere in africa, and accordingly, why did they turn out to be such a skew that, for example in the ranks of the french army, there were only 200 tanks and 70 caesar self-propelled armored vehicles, and, for example , as many as 4,000 units of light armored vehicles of various types , including the same imx 10 wheeled tanks that have already arrived at the front, respectively french, if so, the fate of the french military bureaucracy is here in 2022. if i understood that they, uh, regulations on ammunition stocks are not

being implemented, regulations on the topic of projectile production are not being implemented, but this was not systematically dealt with, and it turns out that in order to correct this situation, when the french they saw with their own eyes that the war for which they were preparing will not take place , and accordingly it is necessary to accumulate as many classic shells as possible when there will be 155 mm, but they have all those organizational let's say so and tasks of demolition well, almost a year ago, there is still very an interesting setting of priorities was that at first the french set themselves the task of producing more auto-loading vacciza. well, it was necessary to note that part of it was to be given from their own reserves, which, in principle , was improving the capabilities of the french army, and then to deal with ammunition for these same caesars, so the review of them is quite sad, quite sad you make more looks especially if it didn’t sound paradoxical now, but france

is trying to strengthen the parallel 155 mm hummingbird projectiles before the production of own guided missiles, such as ship exoseds or missiles for anti-aircraft complexes of the city, which also eats up resources in its own way, so hmmm, they have something like this. what does 2,000 shells a month mean for ukraine? it’s not enough , but if the french will supply us with more anti-aircraft missiles missiles and maybe well, if they give something from long-range, then it will be much better than just this formal number of services with a 55 mm projectile that they will transfer. the states find themselves, the elements of weapons promised to us, in particular, 18 german leopard 2 tanks have already been delivered to ukraine , the minister of defense, oleksiy varshikov, has tested a new supply of military equipment, such as the challenger from britain, the stryker and the cougar from the usa, and the marder from germany, which is actually not bad

today it seems that portugal is reporting on several other leopards that are being sent to us. well , one way or another, this is what we have from public information, but mr. ivan, i cannot get out of my head the thesis of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi in one of his last interviews, where he notes that ukraine is not yet ready to launch a counteroffensive operation due to the fact that we still do not have enough ammunition and we do not have air reinforcements in the context of the fighter jet, which means that actually until there is a decision to provide us with fighter jets, we cannot talk about the liberation of our territories in full, and perhaps this was done, so to speak, in order to somewhat intensify the supply, we urgently need weapons , because this is a story not only about those

other offensive or contour offensive actions - this is a story about saving the lives of our soldiers, each tank is not just a gun, you understand , on wheels or on tracks or on tracks no , this is an armored vehicle that is supposed to protect our soldiers and so on, it also applies well and the supply of long-range projectiles and so on, because well, it's a pipeline, so to speak, diplomacy it's very good, but we really need support at an additional level, it's all very thin, of course, the material, but ivan how do you see the story, well, there really can be march place two points at once, well, first of all, we can start on our own, they can start the future liberation operation to drive out the russian occupiers this spring, even with a lack of resources, as in fact it has already happened many times, well, how are you, a textbook story, what is the counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast in the in september of last year, the armed forces of ukraine started with ammunition for the projectile three times less than what is needed, on the other hand, if you look at uh , in which interview exactly did president zelenskyy

state such a thesis, this is a japanese publication, and it just happened a few days after japanese parliamentarians for the first time voiced an idea in the style of why don't we give ukraine fh-70 howitzers and the same m270 jet systems, which we also have, which the japanese consider superfluous because they are switching to long-range missiles to deter china, then it is possible so the thesis was thrown into the japanese publication about the fact that there is not enough artillery in the artillery for a country that is ready, well, declares at least a readiness to share the artillery with shells in some perspective , then it was done well, maybe well in the end once dad went to japan, he even has his own licensed production of fighter jets in 16, it seems there they are under the index, these two pass there, so it is possible. well, this thesis was voiced not even so much in order to describe some general situation in our country, but in order to it is possible to draw japan itself to the intensification of defense cooperation with ukraine

because, well, now that nato has left, the japanese, in principle , can in some ways thank us for the fact that the soviet union removed the threat to japan itself by, for example, implementing the infamous so-called on the 18th, the machine gun artillery division, which, for example, was defending , was smoking. well, in parallel with the fact that ukraine recognized the royal islands as the northern territories of japan occupied by the russian federation. they could attack japan there, then the japanese can ask the whole question that the help of the armed forces is the best investment of the outflows to at least secure their flank from the russian federation and focus on confrontation only with china and north korea well, because japan is a developed country , but it immediately understands that both russia and china are north korea and that the war is essentially on three fronts. well, if you can help us

, the number of francs will decrease to two. mr. ivan, you have an extremely interesting conversation ivan kyrychevskyi, an expert of defense express of ukraine well, we inform you about the most important, the latest information , french president manivele macron will pay a state visit to china, european commission president ursula von deryan will go with him to beijing, but she will not take part in the events of this visit, the official representative of the eu said. and why is she going with president macron , the reason is very simple. diplomacy, as we see it, is multipolar and multi-layered well , i wonder where exactly they will have time to visit on the way or when they are already returning home, this is an equally important moment, now we have news time on the espresso tv channel anna eva melnikiv i will introduce my colleague to you. greetings, christ . well, we are waiting for the broadcast of the panel session
