[000:00:00;00] the free population and the escalation of long-range weapons only in this ukraine will make it possible to localize the source of moscow's provocations at the stage of planning and preparation for admission . and the ukrainian air force predicts that the number of similar cases in russia may increase, because the russian military, in its desire to quickly increase the production of air missiles , may lose quality and control, such bombs could fall and go somewhere else, because they do everything quickly, they use them more and more each time, and uh, where to do it quickly where to do er, so to speak, to be careless about this work, and this is a reaction to the incident in belgorod and the consequences of the explosion from a tv presenter about the kremlin tv channel , cardboard, after the inspection of the scene of the accident, the road service immediately began to remove the debris from the roadway of vatutyna avenue, to evacuate the damaged explosion machines combat equipment allows

russian units to eliminate extremists in their zone from a minimum distance of 40 km from the ukrainian border , russian planes regularly fly over through the city on the way to ukraine max hrabovsky radio freedom vladyslav seleznyov military expert spokesperson of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 14-17 join our broadcast mr. vladyslava my greetings glory to ukraine glory to the heroes mr. vladyslav well, let's first get to the topic of the russian bomb falling in belgorod and what is this it turns out that russia dropped a bomb on its own city, why? well, was it actually an accident? as the ministry of defense of the russian federation writes, the fact is that the intensity of hostilities is currently the russian-ukrainian confrontation is taking place on all fronts , it forces the russians to use all

the components available for the identification of combat operations , sir, they actively use artillery , including the artillery that was manufactured in the 50-60s of the last century, they use artillery shells that the warehouses were stored for at least 40, and that one for 50 years. they are removing from long-term storage e.e. armored vehicles that are at least 20 years old, and that one is 31 years old . it is obvious to me that the russians are not using all this from a good life, because the modern equipment that we all saw in russian cartoons, and the main viewer of those cartoons was vladimir putin, it turned out that there is not so much of it and it burns just like other samples of military equipment . attempts to destroy enemy equipment, that is not a military secret. so it is obvious that the russians are using everything that is available to them, and here i agree with the colonel and the gnats who talk about this . that the russians do some things in a hurry

, they are actually quite dangerous as a me, because when the russians cling to the wings of powerful high-explosive air bombs, they turn into fabs in this way, they are not falling bombs into such fortune-telling or planning ammunition, they are extremely dangerous , but we see that they do not always work with 100% efficiency and, accordingly, participation cotton, which would have been seen yesterday in belgorod. i think that cotton is more and more because the russians are in a hurry, they need huge quantities of the equipment itself to convert ordinary aircraft into gliders parrying ammunition, and therefore the russians must be very careful in the future. by the way, oleksiy oleksiy danilov, addressing the residents of the russian federation, says that the russian federation has unleashed a full-scale war against sovereign ukraine, so russians, do n't worry, there are no

safe places on the territory of the russian federation, and what happened in unfortunately, we lost contact with the speakers, now we will try to restore it. meanwhile, i will add that in the russian media space, by the way , there was another assumption that the air projectile that fell in belgorod that he they say he was preparing for kharkov, but at night the pilot either got confused or threw it out ahead of time and they mention that 100 km is less than the distance of 100 km between belgorod and kharkov and here, too , i would like to hear the opinion of our expert , vladislav, can you hear me? yes, i can see. wonderful, wonderful. did you hear about what i just said, or should i repeat it, please repeat it, because i was just saying about what you know , there was a version of the assumption that the air projectile that fell in belgorod was preparing for

kharkiv and the pilot or confused or there before i threw it away because the distance is less than 100 km. do you think it is pure or can there be any basis for such an assumption ? i think it is speculation. it is obvious that the pilot of putin's air force directed and aimed this aerial bomb precisely on the territory of kharkiv or the kharkiv region. but it happened something else like a technical failure, the rocket broke off from the reinforcements, it was held under the wing of the russian plane and exploded exactly where it exploded, obviously. of the forces of ukraine, which speaks of the fact that the further, the more the same troubles will happen in the russian army from the technical side, because the equipment they use is often outdated, and the attack rates with the help of which they are trying to multiply their military power are not always works for quality, and what we saw last night in belgorod is obviously

the result of doing everything quickly and in a hurry, which means forever high-quality on the air about the fact that the next leak was published on the secret network documents of the pentagon in which it is said that washington proposed that the united states, er, offered ukraine to withdraw its troops from bakhmut back in january, kyiv disobeyed and actually, bakhmut has been on the defensive for 3 months longer than predicted in washington , thanks to which it is possible, in your opinion , courage wins heroism of ukrainian soldiers who are directly on the line of battle in the territory of the city of bakhmut fortress, on the one hand, on the other hand, absolutely rational and high-quality interaction interaction between those units that are on such a large land closer to the time of the yara, respectively, between our defenders who are in bakhmut well, and accordingly due to the fact that

the same road of life still exists, route 0506 , with the help of which all logistics for the needs of ukrainian soldiers in bakhmut are carried out from one side, and on the other hand, it is this road that is used to evacuate our wounded soldiers, heroes, who are going to a safer region in order to receive appropriate medical care, and i think that the defense of bakhmut will continue until at the moment, we will be able to keep the same path of life, well, actually. if we talk about forecasts from the west, at one time there was no doubt in most western countries that kyiv would last five days and 10 days, someone said about two weeks or, taking into account previous mistakes, so to speak ukraine , the ukrainian general staff currently has more authority among western colleagues and officials in european capitals. well, what exactly does this manifest itself in? i think here we should first of all pay attention to today's meeting

within the framework of 11 rammstein looks and if there was no trust in the ability of the armed forces of ukraine, none of our western partners would spend such a crazy amount of money to strengthen the combat capabilities of the ukrainian army. and so we see that our western partners believe in our strength in our victory, our ability to change the situation on the battlefield is fundamental to that, and we prepare our servicemen for that and provide our army with everything necessary, including modern military equipment and weapons equipment and even a year ago who among us would have had the opportunity to believe that the ukrainian armed forces will receive modern air defense complexes of the petriv class or that we will receive the german or american leopard e-e for service, and here we are now living in that reality when all this technique of equipment is already in service with the ukrainian army, well, actually, we see the footage where varshikov with his colleagues from germany and poland signs the intentions to create this

leopard service center in poland, but it is about intentions from intentions to practical implementation, how much time can pass and actually how will this affect the possibilities of ukrainian art? this project as soon as possible . why are our polish partners so ardent and friendly towards us, because they understand that now there is a battle with evil on a global scale at the forefront it is the ukrainian army. and if we lose this duel, then the army of the republic of poland will be next, so accordingly it is better for them to prepare here, to join our efforts to destroy the enemy on the lines where we are now, because we see that the enemy still has in order to implement the same plan

of full occupation of the territory of ukraine , we remember what started the so-called special military operation, it is well-deserved , noted kyiv, to reach the western borders of our country in three days and two weeks, including the occupation of lviv and zakarpattia oblasts of course that didn't happen as putin raved about it but why did it happen of course that is courage such a rating of ukrainian soldiers comprehensive petrenko of the ukrainian people and the military-technical support of our western partners and the more it became and the more intense the more powerful it will be this is support from our western partners, the less chance putin has at all to have well, at least there are some advantages in the field, after all, from the intentions before the first leopard from the ukrainian front will be repaired there for as long as it can, which platforms are on which base is it planned to deploy these

repairable and renewable power, because if the poles will use the already existing repairable base as or some industrial facilities, it is one thing if all this will be created from scratch, accordingly, it will take a certain amount of time for logistics there is no initial information on the construction to create the corresponding infrastructure for repair and restoration to draw such conclusions, but the fact that there is a corresponding will and desire of our polish friends to realize it as soon as possible, i think that is quite short the terms and more, i think that this process will be synchronized with the direct delivery to combat units of the ukrainian army, as well as leopards, it is obvious that as soon as the first leopard will go on combat missions , it should already receive the same full-fledged logistics base. repair needs of uh very specific very technological tracking equipment but this specific and technological equipment is an advantage on the battlefield we will see the russians

increasingly use t-62 tanks which is more than 50 years from the date of manufacture or the t-54 t-55 tanks that were manufactured back in the days when stalin was alive and on the other hand, the technology of how we get our western partners is much newer and, accordingly, more effective today they said that and about tanks about abrams and american tanks that everything will change when they say there will be abrams, but we know that the training has not even started yet , let's listen to the direct speech of postin and then return the number of armored vehicles in the coming months and for the ukrainians to use it for training in germany. over the next

few weeks, but actually now, we heard the price about how long the training will take place. and what are your forecasts for how quickly it will be? they say such a constant saying will be harnessed for a long time and they will say that this is exactly the story about our american partners, we are now constantly reproaching them that they do not give us combat platforms and such as the f-16 , but they say that yes, in fact, we do not give them to you well, we are working on a case of a significant multiple strengthening of your anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems. is this approach irrational to a certain extent, yes , because it is obvious that our western partners, and primarily the americans, are absolutely rational, they count money and they always compare the money spent and the result obtained and it is obvious that in this context they are absolutely rational and we can agree or disagree with them. but they are right, the ukrainian army is just

getting a powerful anti-aircraft system and anti-missile defense means in this way it will be reduced to all of putin's aviation to make us sad eh amplifiers as a result of missile attacks on our military facilities on our facilities of critical infrastructure it is obvious that the air defense system will continue to serve for the sake of to create the same security zone over the entire territory of ukraine, and it is obvious that in this context, general miley and lloyd austin are engaged in a synchronized position, often verbally. they will not help us. neither the west is extremely motivated to ensure that the ukrainian army wins this duel. partners are working to ensure that

the ukrainian army has an advantage, the advantage is military technical means, they heard mr. vladyslav thank you for taking the time to participate in the broadcast vladyslav seleznyov, military expert, spokesperson the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine was in direct contact with us in 14-17 years, thank you. in the meantime, the lefortiv court of moscow decided to arrest in absentia the head of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, wrote about this about the kremlin agency tas, it is about the case of the terrorist attack on the kerch bridge informed the court that the investigative committee of the russian federation will initiate an international manhunt for his announcement about the kremlin media write that budanove was charged with a terrorist attack created by a terrorist group and illegal trafficking

of explosives and weapons. well, earlier she stated that bohdanov was allegedly the organizer of the terrorist attack on the crimean bridge in october 2022. the head of the main intelligence directorate of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, reacted ironically to his arrest in absentia in russia and promised to work even better on countering the occupiers , this is how he commented on his absentee arrest edition ukrainian pravda, you know how long i have been working and it was somehow inconvenient that i had no decisions there. i am pleased , this is a good indicator of our work, obliges us to work even better. well, just come to us now joins andrii yusov, representative of the press service of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, mr. andrii my greetings good evening good evening, mr. andriyovych, what does the arrest of budanov in absentia by the russian federation mean, in fact , there is no point of view, because then there is no such thing as the territory of the so-called russian federation, the kutnino

regime destroyed them a long time ago russia is a state that regularly violates international law and is in maximum isolation, that is , discussing this decision from a practical point of view does not make any sense, it is absolutely all propaganda tools are worthless, solely for the purpose of continuing to forget their own target audience, that is, ordinary fascists and the population of the so-called russian federation, well, this announcement is allegedly an international wanted man, it will somehow affect the freedom of movement for acrylo-budanov, well, we just mentioned that there is no point in discussing the merits we can discuss the mandate to arrest, let's say, vladimir putin and as criminals who must write before the international tribunal, this really affects and we can

already see the announcement of the country that says about that that they will arrest putin if he appears on their territory, as for the fake decisions of the fake courts, well, of course , there will be no methods for this. after all, there were already many such precedents in history in its time , and the third rail, which is largely followed by the modern putin's russia, issued a sentence to the enemies drive to the right and to the left well, in the end, they themselves ended up on the dock . what awaits the defendants? i am convinced of the leaders of the russian regime, mr. andrii. well, today , by the way, the moscow court also arrested the journalist-investigator in absentia, hristo grozhiv the decision of the russian judges that you mention will never be implemented, which countries can still take it into account , except for example belarus, iran, syria , first of all, those countries are interested in those countries that, to put it mildly, maintain such a neutral position in the russian-ukrainian issues wars, for example, the countries

of south america, there is actually good company there. i think that both mr. groziv and mr. bohdanov are really the people who should have received a long ago, for their active civic position and professional conscientious work, some kind of award in the brackets of the vacation of the regime, but in the end we got to seriously discuss the consequences, there is no reason for us to repeat this answer every time, neutral countries will not be neutral in order to sometimes make some e-e statements that can be interpreted in different ways, but not to take any specific actions, and putin's regime is illegitimate internally already in one's own country and outside of it, no one perceives any legal consequences, especially compared to those that already have relevant decisions of international authorities on bringing russians to additional responsibility for stations on

confiscation of property well of course nothing can be close to that and as for the propagandistic tantrums, yes , we will probably be able to hear a lot of historical attacks from the er-e khryushest pasha stabila and solovyov tonight, for which there will be nothing behind in the end, even that decision well, it is not really news general budanov was subjected to many attacks by racists before their so-called courts handed down any verdicts , therefore, in principle , there is no way to respond to this from the point of view of a legal debate . well, i cannot but ask you what caused the explosion air raid in belgorod last evening. why do you think russia did not once again try to shift responsibility to ukraine , such an attempt was even at the beginning if we analyze the first reactions and the first comments there, but the situation was so clear how obvious it is that well here it is even in russian propaganda propaganda is lost although they can do a lot well, but

here even for them it was already an uplifting story, of course, it's just the inability to hide the real reality this time forced them to admit their crime against its own population, but you see, even when the ministry of defense of the russian federation officially confirmed that it fell from its air defense and an air projectile on belgorod in the russian media space , they tried to twist it, so to speak, and made an assumption that and this air project he actually flew to kharkiv, but the pilot was either confused or didn't make it , what is it called, does ukrainian intelligence know about it, or can such a version be true, well, first of all, here is probably the most logical comment that the so-called should continue according to the plan, so what regarding the version, analyzing the public versions of racists makes no sense. there is no truth there and there never will be. of course, we also

monitor and analyze this situation . there will definitely be conclusions. leaders mr. andrii thank you very much for finding the opportunity to join the broadcast andrii yusov, representative of the press service of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine, thank you well , actually, now, as promised, they announced an exclusive interview with general secretary nat gens stoltenberg, which our correspondent zoryana stepanenko recorded as part of today's rammstein anniversary. so, mr. secretary general, since today we are celebrating a kind of anniversary of rammstein , we will start with the key decisions adopted

today by the members of the contact group. in this regard, what is the main message of this meeting from nato allies and partners and the contact group on the defense of ukraine under the leadership of the us is that we should provide even more support to ukraine in addition to the already unprecedented support that has already been provided and the main focus is air defense and literally yesterday we heard new announcements from the united states about additional missiles for four patriot batteries which are extremely advanced systems norway and other countries have put some of these systems on sams, france and italy have put them in place , so the allies are stepping up. but of course , the more the better, and that is why such meetings are important because this is a way to mobilize and determine the exact needs and then mobilize support from nato allies and partners in this contact group, what did you discuss today

about ukraine's plan for a counteroffensive and in your opinion, is the ukrainian army fully equipped to start this operation and what could happen for with the impetus of this living, i will leave to the ukrainians the right to answer operational questions because this is ukraine's decision, our responsibility as allies and partners in nato is to provide ukraine as much equipment as possible and this support made a huge contribution on the battlefield, it must be remembered that ukraine was able to repel russian troops from kyiv in the north and i myself was in buch. kharkiv and then in the south and around kherson. so, the ukrainian armed forces, their bravery and courage , combined with supplies from allies and nato partners, have demonstrated that they

are capable of liberating territories since then, in particular , after they liberated kherson. provided much more support with bmp armored vehicles, more anti-aircraft artillery and battle tanks, so i am sure that when ukraine decides to start new operations to free more territory, it will be a successful company, or can ukraine win on the battlefield, given the fact that the supply of fighter jets and long-range weapons everything that is blocked by the ukrainian partners, as you know , russia now prevails in the air space , and also the armed forces of the russian federation are familiar with the effect of himers systems and have taken their logistics chains beyond the reach of the systems. so first above all, air defense and air defense are important. it can be carried out both from ground systems and from aircraft, now the main attention is paid to ground systems

, several aircraft from poland and slovakia have not been received, and i believe that it is necessary to constantly evaluate and discuss the issue of new systems, including aircraft but i believe that the most important thing is to ensure that all systems that are already in ukraine work properly, which means that we need a huge amount of ammunition and spare parts of technical maintenance of repair facilities to ensure that thousands of systems, including many air defense systems, work as they should, so i believe that maintaining the systems already provided is just as important. perhaps even more important than discussing new systems. how long do you think russia will be able to wage war against ukraine? i will not speculate. about this because war or wars are by their nature unpredictable and we should never

judge the russians they have proven that they want to take aggressive actions against ukraine the war did not start last year it started in 2014 year, but that is why the message to all nato allies and partners and the contact group on the defense of ukraine is that we must be ready for long-term measures to support ukraine as long as it will be necessary, and my message to president zelensky yesterday in kyiv was that nato supported ukraine for many years and we support ukraine now that ukraine continues to repel president putin's aggression against their country and we will stand by ukraine in the future as long as it will be necessary because it will be a tragedy for ukrainians if president putin wins, but it is also dangerous for nato allies , it will demonstrate to all authoritarian leaders that when they use military force to

do what they want, it will make the world more dangerous and nato allies more vulnerable , so my message to nato allies nato is that it is in our security interests to guarantee that ukraine will win and win. as a sovereign nation, the media, in particular bloomberg, spread information, referring, of course, to sources that immanuel macron intends to involve china in planting russia and ukraine so that you will be informed about this initiative and how you would evaluate it first of all i believe that ukraine decides for itself when the time and acceptable conditions for any negotiations about the future of ukraine will come secondly, there are no signs that president putin is preparing for peace, he is preparing for war, and thirdly, we know that even if it is very difficult to predict the outcome of this war and when it will end, if everything

ends at the negotiating table, that happening at this table is inextricably linked to the situation on the battlefield so the only way to make sure that president putin is ready to accept ukraine as a sovereign independent state and have an acceptable solution is to provide ukraine with military support to strengthen their position in any potential negotiations in the future so ukraine must decide what conditions are acceptable and we must ensure that ukraine has sufficient strength on the battlefield that will allow us to get an acceptable end to this war . in the morning you mentioned that all nato allies agree with the fact that ukraine should finally become a part of nato, so what are ukraine's chances of receiving a political invitation to become part of it during the upcoming nato summit in vilnius, first of all, i think it is important that nato decided that ukraine

will become a member of the alliance and i stated that ukraine's rightful place in the euro-atlantic family as a member of the alliance regarding the support we provide. i expect that the allies will agree to a multi-year program under which we will help ukraine to move from soviet-era standards of soviet equipment to nato doctrines and standards, and the doctrines will help ukraine to move towards membership in nato, but the focus now is of course on ensuring the victory of ukraine . that president putin did not win because we need ukraine as a sovereign independent state in europe, if this is achieved, of course, membership will not be a problem at all to nato. ukraine requires certain security guarantees to prevent attacks on its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the future, so at what stage now this is a discussion, what are the allies ready for, it is too early
