answered a reporter's question about the situation what did he say, let's hear what is your message to russia now, to whom in russia, since it detained the reporter, let him go in the process, i will remind you on march 30, the journalist of the wall street journal, e-e, eva na horshkovych was detained in yekaterinburg, he is accused of allegedly spying for the enterprise of the russian military industrial complex , propagandist media write that the reporter was in the city for several weeks and wrote an article about the attitude of the russians to the wagner pvk during the trip, he was accompanied by a local activist, evangelshkovich noted, about 6 he has been living in moscow for years, he covers events in russia and ukraine for an american newspaper, and in connection with the detention of a journalist, the united states calls on all americans and even journalists to leave russia immediately , white house representative john kirby

announced that russia is not the best place to work now whether to rest measles would mark the russian federation this is a hostile environment for americans of any profession above political science an international expert joins our broadcast p bohdan good night to you good night good night mr. bohdan so blinken called on all american citizens to leave the territory of the russian federation, and the rest of the american journalist, this is only the beginning , this is a continuation. i would say because this was not an isolated situation, and there were previous cases when russia detained and imprisoned even american citizens there. it is done because it is an element that the kremlin will use directly in the context of the fact that there may be potential exchanges in the future or

some or the other consultations regarding a-a release, let's say on the american citizens who were directly detained for no reason by the kremlin, so i will remind you again that not so long ago there was a similar situation with an american basketball player, there was already a sentence, and then long consultations, then the exchange of the odious butkevich, if you remember, there was such a situation, that is, now similarly, taking into account the level of confrontation that is taking place and deepening between the connecting states of america and russia, it is really dangerous for american citizens to work on the territory of this state.

can get to compromise the case directly and then use it to blackmail directly in the context of certain demands that they sometimes also make to the american side regarding their citizens detained there, who may have been spying like that, and in what other planes besides the fate of the journalist himself is obviously the most important in this story but nevertheless, in geopolitical i mean this story can be used on what level does it have an impact and what can it lead to in the end, well, look that is, the situation always consists of a palette of different events that , within the framework of bilateral relations, either exacerbate the situation geopolitically or, on the contrary , stabilize it a little. now we see that in the vicinity of the nuclear danger , the situation is intensifying in the context of the deployment of possible

tactical nuclear weapons on territories of belarus by the kremlin, therefore this puzzle is directly composed of various e.e., sometimes local events, as well as according to the received. maybe there will even be a sentence for e.e. american journalists and more in such a global geopolitical context, layering is happening and uh, crises are intensifying, but it was interesting to comment on jobody's comment for quite a few years, so if you noticed, he literally said two words there , it means that really i think that consultations are held directly between the department of uh, special commissioners of the united states of the states of america of the russian federation, i am not sure that it will literally be effective quickly, but the russian side is counting on

that. let's pay attention to myself in the context of solving some of my questions, uh, digression, but jobadin actually gives enough time to make such restrained comments in two words when they are near helicopters that are now taking off, because he is clearly hard of hearing there , and his hearing is so bad, guys, the answer is yes, too they saw maybe when he approaches the press and then he probably remembered that saturday continues to pass near the press, a helicopter is going, a cat is like that then he approved a new concept of the foreign policy of the russian federation, which the united states of america called the main the initiator and leader of the anti-russian line, and even though the russian federation establishes the opinion in this concept that the russian federation has no hostile intentions towards western countries, and the americans are even offered to cooperate in matters of nuclear

security, although they themselves define the united states as the leader of the anti-russian lines , how to understand this signal, well, a classic signal in the context of bilateral relations, e.e. russia , the united states of america, that is, even if we recall a little history in the context of relations between the soviet union and again united states of america, there were also different stages, let's say, which depended on the desire of one or another side to make some compromises, agreements, even in the context of the containment of nuclear potentials, and it was also possible to agree already when the soviet union collapsed, that is, one of the approval of treaties and therefore that there is an understanding that , in principle, yes, a third nuclear war is potential . it may be the last, so to speak, for

the whole world, but on the other hand, we see that now the context has changed quite seriously the russian-ukrainian war has a medium impact not only on the european security architecture but on the global security architecture and exacerbates bilateral relations , again not only between the usa and russia. and i would say so between liberal democracies and autocracies, including china, so i predict that such a confrontation will escalate even more in the medium term and the world will be unpredictable uh even more so again hmm and what do you think if we combine the two stories of the detention of the journalist and what victoria said or it is possible that the subject of these negotiations, if they take place between the united states and russia, the engine of which will be the detention

of the journalist may be something more than the fate of the journalist, that is, that it is russia. thus , it is looking for a way to find some other channels of communication with the usa, is it still some kind of separate local story with less wide-ranging potential consequences? well, i think that what you mentioned, i previously said about it that they are really looking for communication channels to make them happen, but i did not link in such serious structural geopolitical issues. yes, there is the question of nuclear weapons or, on the contrary, deterrence. and for example, such detentions, that is, i explain this purely on the level of events and those cases that happened before, that is, they do it so that later it is possible to exchange so for detained russian citizens who there is also the united states of america, and you may also be

accused of espionage there and in other matters, i define this track, but more in this context, mr. bohdan, and why did lukashenko become so active, he in the speech i call for a cease-fire. and he threatens with nuclear weapons and why is he so happy that putin is going to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus . because such a request from lukashenka has been heard for many years. nuclear weapons that were there at one time in the 90s, as well as in ukraine yes, they moved to russia why because in the coordinate system lukashenka as an authoritarian leader, that is, in fact in his opinion you can be noticeable when you have nuclear potential even if it is small but it's just that he probably forgets and doesn't understand that

even if such tactical nuclear weapons are placed on the territory of belarus, he is unlikely to get this button with the help of which he can in some way control this button will be in the kremlin er and thus belarus belarus once again passed into reality, it is even difficult to say in the current conditions, because it will be an additional bridgehead for russian paramilitary formations that will serve or, for example, optically nuclear weapons, and this means that there is more danger in the context of the deterioration of relations eh the maximum between there nato countries and already there russia in belarus p farant thank you for your time bohdan ferentz candidate of political sciences expert international was with us on a direct video link we continue our broadcast

literally in a few moments there are people who do not hide behind their backs who listen to the call hearts and are the first to go into battle people of great strength people of indomitable spirit people of goodwill glory to the ukrainian volunteers we send you our love our strength our prayers but you are always in our hearts my thoughts about you and prayers for i hope you will be safe. we pray that the darkness will be lifted and ukraine will be free again. this struggle is important not only for ukraine but for the whole world. we stand

shoulder to shoulder with you and with hope that this will all end . i am very proud to be an american the fact that my country provides absolutely unwavering support to the ukrainian people melts the hearts of others so that they don't say about you who is following them on earth, good luck to you, brothers and sisters, strength and love , god bless you, glory to ukraine, i lost my job and could not sit idly by for the rest of my life circle she is like my family. i thought about starting my own business for a long time. so i took a grant for a greenhouse, now i have a job and the whole team thanks to this , too, you see. the state supported me. and now i’m building it like this together and we’re building it up little by little because i’m a job. government grants are

available. apply for it. work is working.gov.ua and develop your business let's run a marathon the only news next we will analyze the situation at the front the winter offensive of the occupiers ended in failure and the chief of the russian general staff valery gerasimov lost tens of thousands of mobilized this was reported by the british ministry of defense. it is known that the so-called offensive lasted 80 days. and it was during this period that gerasimov planned to establish russian control over the entire region of donbas, but the attempt to capture the territory brought little success to the occupiers , and the price for this was the waste of a temporary advantage in personnel, according to of british spies gerasimo after 10 years of work as chief of the general staff will expand the limits of permissible defeats of the leadership of russia, the occupiers are conducting offensive actions at the same time, in four directions of donetsk region, all attempts are mostly without success, because the russians were never able to capture

their main target, the city of bakhmut, this was stated by the deputy minister of defense, hanna malyari, according to her , heavy fighting continues not only in the direction of bakhmut, but also the settlements of belohorivka are under constant shelling and maryinka gunpowder concentrates on the established control over bachmut tries to advance to the central part of the city in certain areas has little variable success but the city cannot be captured all around and fierce fighting continues in the very place, the enemy is also conducting offensive actions in the avdiyivka area with the aim of encircling the city and blocking the supply routes . hanna malyar, deputy minister of defense of ukraine, ukraine probably will not expel all russian forces from its territories by the end of this year, this is an assumption expressed by american general mark milley , according to him, this task is real, but it is

very difficult. zelenskyi has publicly stated many times that the goal of ukraine is to expel all russians from the occupied territories of ukraine, and this is important the military task is a very, very difficult military task, since several hundreds of thousands of russians are in ukraine. i'm not saying that it can't be done, i'm just saying that it's very difficult. from the international security foundation yulk kucherev democratic initiatives good night good night mr. zhurdenko do you agree with the assessment of british intelligence that russia's so-called winter campaign has failed or do we already have enough grounds for asserting that it is absolutely necessary considering that the russians tried to do several things at the same time without abandoning their horde tactics and accordingly

, the massive use of personnel , the massive use of artillery, armored vehicles , and so on, after the appointment of general gerasimov, it was to be expected that the russians will combine the tactics of traditional use of their numerical superiority with certain hybrid operations for which russian military commands tried to preserve the remnants of parts of personnel of the professional russian army, which at one time they managed to save in the kherson direction . well, actually, this was precisely what was connected with the massive use of e-e on e-e in the same bahmut by the russians of the fighters of dude wagner and accordingly. thus, the russian command tried well, as they say, to preserve at least a partial life of the remnants of the professional army, which they wanted to use for, let’s say, more of a hybrid component of this winter mood, but taking into account the colossal losses suffered by

the russian minister wagner and how much the russians did not manage to change the situation in the eastern direction, and on the other hand, the professional actions of the ukrainian defenders, because our military command calculated absolutely all scenarios with our western partners, and it is obvious that this particular scenario was chosen somehow as the main one. the actions that we saw from on the part of the russians well, in the end, we did not give the russians the opportunity to first hide our forces so that the russian troops could continue their offensive operations , on the other hand, we were also able to focus on these several key eastern directions have sufficient numbers and personnel and , accordingly, means of impression, so that it is gradually difficult, but nevertheless successful.

and the same mercenaries from chvkwagner thought huge losses and what did not allow them to strengthen other units eh on eh, for example, in the southern direction and did not allow them to form strike groups in the same way in order to simultaneously deter us in the east to be able to conduct more such mobile hybrid operations , therefore, in principle, we forced the russians to focus precisely on these key eastern directions and we allowed them to use the resources they had in order to strengthen themselves in other directions and, accordingly, not gave them the opportunity to carry out offensive operations every week, we heard that another echelon or several echelons of railways are being sent from belarus with personnel and equipment with ammunition, but in reality it will reach they were forced to leave all this in order to be able to continue combat operations in the eastern direction and did not have the opportunity to use it somewhere else

, mr. taras, and how is russia preparing for our counteroffensive, what probable strategies is being developed by the russians, so far we see that the russians used, in principle, their entire hybrid toolkit in order to stop the supply of weapons to western ukraine, this is a key moment that most worries the russian military and political leadership, because the russians perfectly understand that, well, what we concentrated in the east, on the eastern part of the front, eh, a large number of personnel of weapons equipment in order to deter the russians there does not absolutely do not mean that we are not preparing and do not have the potential to be ready for our contrast , because in the basis of eh hm those units that will be, as they say, the main strike forces of the armed forces of ukraine in our future counteroffensive are units that have undergone training with instructors from

nato member countries, these are units that are equipped with the weapons range from american bradley infantry fighting vehicles and shredders to heavy leopard main battle tanks. and the russians actually understand very well that these are fresh units that were absolutely not involved in the battles on the eastern front. and actually it is the only chance for them now to at least somehow ease the fate of their of the military yes, from their grouping of troops on the potential directions of our future countermeasures, this is to try to stop the supply of weapons to ukraine , we see that the russians are using, well , practically the entire spectrum of their hybrid instruments, including nuclear blackmail, because lukashenka's recent statements about the placement of tactical nuclear weapons in belarus are also included in this russian scenario. well, plus, in parallel , we see that the russians are preparing to collect

as much as they can collect, and also additional personnel, the equipment that they remove from conservation, too. we have seen all these videos with t-54 t-55 tanks, which from far away . well, also in the western direction, the russians are trying to collect now in some way to compensate for the losses they suffered in the eastern direction, to collect personnel wherever possible. well, it is roughly estimated at about 20,000 per month . the russians manage to collect their new boats at the beginning of the year, and in this way, the russians are trying to somehow prepare for the defense er stop- about trying to stop the supply of western weapons to ukraine and on the other hand trying to find as much ammunition as possible because we remember that the ships with the wound came two transport distick two ago and and accordingly they they get 2 not also from iran and china tried to come to an agreement, that is, in fact, we see that the russians are trying to act in these two directions, that is, to collect resources on the one hand

, on the other hand, to try to prevent the supply of western weapons on the territory of ukraine, and how do you assess the ability how do you see the ability of the russians renew the resources they lost because, for example, in march, according to the data of the ukrainian general staff, a record number of russians were demilitarized, the only civilized on the territory of ukraine, and just as huge the amount of equipment, are they able to somehow quickly restore this resource, or at least some new resource to collect , comparable to what they are losing, but in fact, you very correctly guess that, taking into account the dynamics of their losses recently, they will have very big problems with continuing the fighting actions at such an intensity at such a pace because they simply physically will not be able to find additional human resources and additional equipment so quickly. therefore, they will have to either slow down this pace

operations or uh, it will be necessary to switch to some other format of conducting hostilities, rather to close the deaf defense because, well , in fact, they are now on the edge, it certainly does not mean that they are running out of people and they are running out of equipment, in fact, there is still quite a lot of it, and this is the problem we will feel this for a very long time. but to conduct such a pace of hostilities with such daily losses and personnel there. well , somewhere from 500 to 800, yes, they still lose days there sometimes more sometimes less and the same to conduct the same intense, intense fire density, er, in principle, they will not be able to continue like this for a long, long time . and in the end they again turn to their allies for help, so that at least at the level of satisfaction of the projectile hunger, at least so that their allies help them

with this . that they won't be able to soon allow themselves to lose at such a rate even those of their mobilized, somehow equipped and somehow trained, because in the end, one way or another, they will have to make up for these losses, and with this, the further it goes , the more difficulties they will have, in fact, mr. taras, we have a blade please tell me what do you think is stopping iran from transferring to russia ballistic missiles that russia wants to get first of all and the rank is holding back israel because in fact we perfectly understand that israel in this case is ours so situational an ally considering the fact that the strengthening of military-technical cooperation between iran and the russian federation will definitely not be in favor of israel and it is clear that israel considering the way it conducts its policy

he made it very clear to the iranian regime that he will absolutely not stop at anything - in order to stop the nuclear program wound and stop the aid that iran provides to the russian federation because well, we all perfectly understand that iran wants two key things from the russian regime for its military support to russia help in the nuclear program, and to some extent help with its missile program , nothing else suits israel from the point of view of ensuring the security of this state. well, we perfectly understand and have seen the readiness of the israeli e-e military to stop all this in the most decisive way, so that in principle a direct threat to the regime and in tehran, mr. taras , we thank you for joining taras zoftenko, international security expert of the democratic initiatives foundation named after ilko kucherev , he was in direct contact with us, friends, soon let's come back and a guest will appear in this studio , uh, very important and interesting topics, we will
