[000:00:00;00] fans and autocrats and bringing them to legal responsibility for their crimes. unfortunately, we do not have to fix this. democracy must be able to act, and to act in advance . democracy must learn to be uncompromising towards evil, even though the meaning of democracy involves the search for a compromise, it works only for internal freedom in a country or another. it is worth getting rid of illusions that a compromise with evil can give something to freedom, the enemies of democracy must lose and only this can be the basis of real security for neocracy take this ukrainian determination ukrainian democracy even in the conditions of total war against our people supports absolute internal unity to win is our national goal but what does it mean to win to preserve freedom preserve dignity preserve our land what is the strategy of the free world in relation to totalitarian russia which is looking for ways to produce as many

totalitarian accomplices as possible in in the world, is there any strategy, i will tell you what it should be, he will lose the war, he will lose now he will know that he will lose always everywhere, first of all, you should not think about how to save putin's face, so that allegedly to reduce the costs of fighting it, it is worth thinking about how to preserve respect for the democrats in those countries where freedom must win, secondly, when a fire breaks out, firefighters cannot wait for months until they are provided with fire engines or agree that fire hoses must be mandatory for short distances, it works the same way and in war there are even more restrictions for those who defend themselves, more losses and destruction, because the flame of aggression knows no limits . that is why the defense of democracy must have all the weapons that will guarantee defeat the aggressor's third - the russians must contribute to the protection of the world from the kremlin, whose impunity they condoned, it is necessary to seek to freeze and direct for recovery

not only the assets of the aggressor state and certain related persons, but all the assets of russia and the russian rich who exchanged silence for increasing their fortunes they must have a motive to act in defense of freedom and to end the kremlin's aggression and terrorist rule as soon as possible dear colleagues, war makes things crystal clear these days i visited our regions near the pre-war that's where you can see what aspects of leadership are needed now that our fighters are conducting assaults under bahmut, they can't wait for weeks before firing artillery shots in response to the enemy, the fire must be instantaneous and neutralize the threat , all our decisions with you must be so quick, but for some reason, sanctions against russia are much slower than russia's aggression, global pressure, and glorifying the russian summer than its motives for tolerating the kremlin, supporting ukrainian soldiers in the trenches

is less long-range than the weapons of terrorists that are acting against us, and your government's willingness to defend itself with democracy is less decisive than the intentions of those who now want a world war against democracy, democracy needs victory now, this year, not someday, not with time. now we are able to provide it for ukraine and all those who help. please children of colleagues thank you for your attention thank you all for your support mr. president and all colleagues kudos to all those who fight for freedom kudos to ukraine this was the speech of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi at the democracy summit, also at this summit of words support for ukraine was expressed by the president of the united states of america, joe biden, he emphasized that totalitarian regimes are weakening, we are witnessing an unprecedented unity of democracies that condemn russia's brutally aggressive war against ukraine and solidarity with the brave ukrainian people who defend their democracy. so today, the united states

rests on its unchanging commitment to strengthening democracy all over the world we can proudly say that the democracies of the world are becoming stronger and not weaker, the autocracies of the world are becoming stronger and stronger and all this the result of our joint work around the world dmytro levos joins our broadcast, an international political scientist, we will discuss directly with him other international events for democracy in front of dmytro greetings good morning good morning greetings good morning today it is important that the current at every international meeting international summits we hear about ukraine about the future victory of ukraine well, and about the fact that it should happen sooner, that is, for all countries to join in military aid, in particular, in your opinion, similar summits are also for democracy which we are discussing now, what it can give us in a diplomatic sense and, well, most importantly in a military sense, does it help us to speed

up the assistance of our partners, as far as i am concerned, this is an unambiguously necessary measure for ukraine . especially since, uh, if we are talking about the current one, already the second one, then uh, there is uh, a separate uh, well, i gave him a separate event. yes, we are dedicated to ukraine, where the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, spoke, and uh, so this is precisely this evidence of how important ukraine is uh, and of course, what first, any of the event as such a level is important for ukraine why because, well, this is an opportunity from the first person to prove your point and remind again , at least no matter who says that everything

in the world is uh tired of ukraine, and here just right just the opportunity to get rid of the poses, to take the light of this fatigue, including with uh, your participation and speak from the first person, especially since it is an expansion of geography, and by and large this help is uh, the rammstein mechanism , which involved 50 countries, but here at the moment uh- there are 120 countries and of course that is different, yes, it is another thing first of all, the formation of support for ukraine on the global platform for the future in the un, where russia is also trying to gather all possible forces, for which it is driven around africa, for example, the same lavrov, yes, they are also gathering, if not a coalition, then at least a mass for their support

here, when there is already such an event, there is already an opportunity to convey one's policy, there is unity around democracy, then of course those who participate in the summit in support of democracy that they are, well, much less likely that they will support, in russian, russian the agenda that they will promote is well, i think that it is not even worth comparing these things because, for example, rammstein is still more about weapons, namely the support of democracy - this is precisely political support and precisely support on such a level at the level of global politics, that's why that's why in this area this measure is so important, that's why i think that it is necessary, but about the results

and similar meetings, if it's a military rammstein. kind of democratic and summits or uh, you yourself are diplomatic. that is, we expect a decision to condemn russia at the official level of each state or to recognize the state as a sponsor of terrorism, or what would be the best final point for such meetings for us. well, by the way, i think that you are right and listed here well, these are the possible things, and also joining the sanctions , as he added. yes, here, too, there is more than that, and the president paid a lot of attention to this in his speech. the search for these uh russian uh well russian funds that are hidden all over the world and

regardless of what they are there or whether they are there as if they are private because it is the first time possible that it has been put on such a level at the level of the participation of 120 countries of the highest people there the state is talking about the fact that there are no private russian funds. if these great, huge funds were earned, well, relatively speaking, they exist and are buried somewhere in the world, then it was impossible to earn them, it was impossible to form them. if uh, this person did not work cooperated with the kremlin authorities, and that is why they should be involved eh, yes, and here . that is why it is also about the premise of a possible eh. well, there is a future eh forgiveness , yes. there, so to speak, for this person in the event

that she eh he is not hiding these funds , but he is involved in a certain amnesty. us yes well positive points - these are really political decisions on at the highest level - this is joining the sanctions, this is supporting ukraine in the un, this is joining this, to the, to the possible, to other mechanisms that already exist, such as in the form of rammstein, that is , any and any political statements and any and participation in any in what mechanisms of support for ukraine and restrictions

of the russian federation, this is a positive consequence and we should strive for it . well, one topic is the nuclear blackmail of the russian federation. joseph biden is concerned about russia's plan to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in belarus, the us president told about this he once again emphasized to journalists that the kremlin's nuclear rhetoric is dangerous, let's hear what you guys have been talking about for the past year, these are dangerous conversations, and this one is even worse. let us remind you that for the first time putin announced his plans on march 25. then he promised that by the end of july, moscow would complete a special tactical nuclear storage facility for belarus weapons ukraine believes that such a move by the russian president undermines the international security system, in addition to contradicting a number of treaties, kyiv appealed to the security council with a request

to convene a meeting, it will probably take place already this week in belarus, the unrecognized president lukashenka has a different opinion. the idea of ​​the head of the kremlin suits him. he says that the placement of nuclear warheads by russia on the territory of belarus without transferring control over them to minsk does not contradict international law, but rather repeats the practice of nato. i am wrong or right, putin's decision and this sudden announcement that he wants to place some nuclear facilities on the territory of belarus, on the contrary, led to a certain consolidation of the east and the west because unequivocally, the position of the people's republic of china is that they condemn this step, and since, as we know, xixinfen has an influence on the political decisions of the kremlin 's top, why was all this done? is it just some imprudence that was not calculated

in advance? uh, how reckless is this? i, to be more precise, i don’t think it’s any kind of uh-uh recklessness towards uh-uh beijing. well, uh, i wouldn’t start so radically evaluating uh-huh beijing’s negative attitude towards the attempted accommodation, even though it’s true was also 21 in march, a joint statement based on the results of the visit of the chinese leader to the russian federation, where it was discussed that it is not possible. well, both sides.

it is possible to place nuclear weapons even outside the territory of sovereign countries, yes, that is, they said that, but here. that is why the current reaction of the prc is negative, but it is not so, it is directly negative, yes, that is , russia is a vassal of china. but it is still er, she still has opportunities for er there for her maneuvers, so here it is really for russia than so. some kind of cooperation with china in this case so that there is a possibility of blackmail. by the way, regarding a full-scale invasion, lukashenko said that the country's presence of any elements , or even nuclear tactical weapons in general, and it cannot be discussed only in one

case, when in one of the countries close to the belarusians will have nuclear weapons, he then called poland, that is, if poland decides to use nuclear weapons there, or if it continues to talk about it, then belarus can ask putin to help in this way and transfer nuclear warheads there or build a storage facility or something else. and it turns out now lukashenko was not asked correctly about anything, just like the last year. well, i know this in general. sometimes i think we pay too much attention to what this liar says, yes, just like putin, they contradict themselves so many times. well, of course. i joked somewhere, but in fact, that’s the way it is. and it’s not the first time

that this has happened . so what, lukashenko, what is wrong, volodya, belarus has no sovereignty on its territory, so that whoever wants to can use it, or rather, the russian federation. you know, in this context, i would like to talk about something else, about the fact that the non -proliferation treaty is not violated this was just right at the beginning of the plot about this, about the fact that uh, they reminded us that uh, belarusian planes are modified for the possibility of being a carrier or

a nuclear weapon. over nuclear weapons , that is, in fact , it is an offense. well, and regarding the true level of independence of lukashenka, you can see that he has been at such sub-dances in moscow for a very long time, in the form of such a character who voices the thesis of their information operations and here in this nothing new happened in this particular case, that is, he repeated it like a parrot for putin p dmytro thank you dmytro, at least , an international political scientist spoke with us as part of the marathon, the only news is what is happening at the front ukraine is preparing for the spring counter-offensive this year, we should expect positive of changes, says the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov. he is sure that the ukrainian military continues to liberate the temporarily occupied territories , and the equipment that the partners handed over to

ukraine will help us in this. you will see them in a counterattack for by the decision of our general staff, the offensive is planned in several directions. it depends on which moment is the most appropriate, how they will decide there also depends on the weather conditions in the spring, our land is very wet, you can only use tracked equipment, i think in april, may we will see them oleksiy reznikov - the bridge of the defense of ukraine, now we on direct communication will be e.e. ihor romanenko, military expert , founder of the charity fund, we will close the store , ukraine, general, reserve lieutenant, for sure , ihor, good morning to you, i congratulate you and good good morning, are you curious about this interview given by the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, to the estonian mass media? he was actually answering the question when can ukraine see, when can the world see

leopard-2 tanks in action in ukraine? in a way, he touched on the topic of the future outline of the offensive of april and may, we ask you to comment very carefully in view of the recommendations of the ministry of defense not to reveal plans for counteroffensives, these words of our minister of defense i think that it is appropriate to mention that not so long ago, for several days, no more than a week , the president gave a close answer regarding the urgent offensive action. said that at the present time we are not ready yet and this is very good just at the corner of the offensive we are fighting heavy battles in the course of carrying out the tasks of the defense

strategic operation in the east of our country the question was about the next stage of actions the strength of the defense of ukraine i would like to to turn attention and if the next one is to be carried out until we complete the task of a strategic defensive operation, this is illogical and contrary to many military approaches, although in principle it is possible, and what exactly is the task - to stop the enemy's advance in the east, it is to destroy as much as possible the manpower of the enemy's equipment and force him to go on the defensive these tasks have not yet been completed and therefore, on the one hand, we are focusing on the implementation of these tasks and at this time we are forming our strategic reserves for the preparation and

implementation of offensive actions in this regard so, according to information from western experts, some troops have begun to concentrate on the zaporizhia direction, it is possible, and we can see that some explosions have intensified in the area of ​​mir-melitopol in the rostov-on-don area, and this is important a symptom of the future terms well, here, as in some mass media, treason has begun, that the minister of defense varshkikov has shown that we will act in several directions . under

planning time must be planned and saved for several, it is not just one. even if the main direction a can be three secondary . why ? about several directions, it goes without saying that the weather is really i think by the end of april, the road surface will provide operations of a counter-offensive nature, but it will take time for us to prepare and collect reserves of such a level according to the data of western specialists, they should be at least three corps of 20,000 with the appropriate equipment. it is emphasized that the crews are also prepared for this equipment and this is all in the process of work in the process of preparation. this is very difficult and

stressful work. in terms of directions and terms by the way, these code conditions benefit ukraine because, well , in relation to the south, for example, they do not allow russian ships to approach closer, yes, to the territory of ukraine, and so on, and it is clear that it goes to us for the benefit, but let's also talk about the fact that our armed forces would benefit, of course, weapons from our partners from mark willi, you heard that the f16 planes, which are so demanded by the ukrainian army, could not help us yet, what do you think about it? i think that it's a matter of time, eh. if so zealously, hm, the americans defended something that was not up to the time. eh, it means that

it would be better to ensure a massive, accelerated supply of weapons, well, they are only in the interests of ukraine and the self-defense forces of ukraine, in the interests of the forces of democracy that help us this is fundamental question and why do you, the political leadership, work on it besides? i wanted to say that it is important for us that it is a basic nato aircraft. that is, it could also be a mirage, french information if it happened or that somewhere there something is being prepared. as previously informed, britain was also poland and issues related to finland f18 are being considered, well, that is, i want to say that some of the direct work on this matter f16 - this is an american plane, there are other options if it is a formal

number of americans, well, this should be a solution collective and can be taking the participation of other countries is similar to how they treated initiatives and breakthroughs due to the fact that the algorithm therefore has other directions - it is one and the other important that we are meeting with an airplane so that it would be very useful to give us help with attack helicopters uh, the americans have the possibility of such a plan , moreover, we have already seen black hawk, which means information in our country, which is used by the main directorate of intelligence , for example, that is, the beginning is possible, and this direction must be expanded here. well, it is known that if have already lifted all prohibitions and are working to ensure that soviet aviation equipment arrives, but in nato countries first of all and not only in order to increase its number , the potential of this equipment, and this means increasing

the potential of aviation front counter offensive actions and not only because they are already available to us a strategic defense operation is needed now, and we still have two minutes, i would like you to briefly describe what is happening in the armed forces of the russian federation, in particular , there was an interesting message a few days ago british intelligence reported that you just touched on this topic and reported that , for example, the 155th marine brigade was raided eight times. that is , it is actually like some kind of zombie apocalypse. eh when eh doctrine does not change at all when they continue to fight quantitatively what do you think it is when it ends or will a decision ever be made eh to end then when the war ends what

about the 155th is just one man working in the team, one can imagine himself if in a few months in this team it is almost 100 % several times well, speaking of such a number as eight, the team has changed. what this can lead to is clear, for what is more , more space was assigned to general muratov, who was in charge of this direction in russia putin is specially colonel-general , the next rank, so that he fulfills all the tasks in this mining direction, it is around, around, around the task leader, the task was failed. the cossacks tried, that is, they defeated more

of our defense forces, 1,050 units of military equipment, and a lot of the enemy's manpower was destroyed, that is, in this direction, our defenders successfully performed the task of the defense operation. of the fund, we will close the skies of ukraine, the lieutenant general of the reserve was in direct contact with us, the news continued, and igor popkov and the enemy do not agree on what they are destroying, defend our own we are ukrainians and well we know what we are fighting for, we don't just dream of victory, we bring it closer every day, we expel the invaders from our native land, we fight the internal enemy, we arrest the traitors who

called for russian peace, we drink so that the occupiers paid in full for every crime and remembered forever ukraine is a free state that is able to protect our future, and ukrainians are a glorious nation with a heroic history, we defend ukraine together, we are strong in our struggle for that, we are even stronger in the unity of the unity of the whole world, hand in hand, side by side at the same table, friends of ukraine and freedom today with

us from dozens of political tribunes europe and america democratic countries of all continents sports and cultural communities hello i'm a beststiller and i'm in ukraine support come to ukraine we spent with mr. president of the united states of america in ukraine help give weapons give hope for a prosperous future our land and we definitely we will win for the sake of the freedom of our people and peace in the whole world, the whole world is with us thursday at seven in the morning, the four hundredth addition of a full-scale war between russia and ukraine began on the air, news on espresso in the studio anzhelika sezonenko, our defenders repelled more than 60 enemy attacks during the day, 28 of them
