[000:00:00;00] one of the stages of the same contour offensive, which everyone expects when the enemy's reserves are destroyed, his capabilities are destroyed, everything he could do to resist and what he could do to accumulate his forces for a counter movement , so we continue this methodical work because we see that the forces pulled up to the left bank are not small. there are many of them, they are arranged in defensive lines, they are being built and strengthened, so there will be a lot of work, but we are ready for it . ukraine is approaching a landmark battle, and it will begin in the spring this was announced by the head of ukrainian intelligence, kyrylo budanov, about the prospects of the ukrainian offensive, followed by a conversation with the military

expert petro chernyk, and then our broadcast to him, and then we talk about military assistance to our partners, and then, of course, we will mention the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine, the resistance forces and everything related to this, let's not talk specifically about the directions, of course, we will not predict anything with our guest, but we will try in principle to assess the prospects of this very offensive by our forces petro chernyk, a military expert, joins our broadcast . we congratulate you. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. of course, this is the issue of this very big spring offensive . kirill budanove was asked whether or not he changed his position regarding this spring company, which will be decisive because he spoke about this before , in particular, he was quoted in the american newspaper in this

usa today. he said no, it will be true a decisive battle, at the same time, many experts agree that even with the most successful company , from the point of view of our side, the armed forces of ukraine are a village of resistance, and this will not put an end to this war. what is your vision of the situation in the future, what will happen in this phase of the war, i share such a strategic narrative somewhere in the spring-early autumn cycle of this year, this is definitely true. and if we talk about this war in a philosophical context, the war with our eternal enemy will end only when the russian federation disintegrates 25-30 countries will take away their nuclear weapons. and this is just from the oil and gas of the tarn resources of siberia. we will join nato and for at least two more generations they will undergo a complex process called sanitation, like how nazi germany and imperial japan underwent it, if this does not happen in this even if we return all

our territories tomorrow, they will not go to think why they started this war, they will go to think why they lost this war and will inevitably start the next one british ministry of defense published an intelligence review in which it noted and explained why the number of er-er number of losses of the russian army has now decreased, they say that even by a third, and they say that this is due to the fact that the russian army is now actively preparing for a counteroffensive of the ukrainian army, that is why they are moving to defensive war, what do you associate with the fact that the statistics have decreased significantly in our country, in fact, there is a global decrease in the part that concerns equipment , they have practically imported quality equipment, let's say, good tanks such as the t-90 can be produced not

more than 21 per month, this is critically low, beyond 3,600 units , we destroyed all of it, a nominal success, and this is really a very serious blow to russian combat readiness, they are really very afraid of our counteroffensive and are calculating all possible options. is the most important human resource, it cannot be written off and it cannot be neglected . how long this will last, we will see the truth , for the sake of justice, let's say that at the moment on the eastern bridgehead, they are still in the state of the attacking party, and we the number of attacks has decreased significantly, if the average daily indicators in march were 100-120 per day, now it is barely 50, and this is good news. they are gradually going on the defensive and the second moment they can replenish their forces within

the limits of up to 20,000 personnel per month at the present moment, according to the indicators of december and march, their monthly losses reach a little more than 20,000, let it be a thousand or a few hundred people, but in truth it also matters and at the moment, despite the fact that they are conducting comprehensive mobilization, they cannot raise the figures to more than 25,000, and this is probably such a very restrained optimist, but once again, very restrained because they still have enough human resources, and the philosophy of the rolling shafts is a classic stalinist method of the second world war, very restrained optimism mixed with maximum pessimism , at least the leader of the wagnerites is beautiful stated that he is trying to reach putin himself and the ministry of defense of the russian federation that they have nothing to fight, they are not hiding that

the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine will cut the flanks during this spring offensive, he already knows the exact date , most likely this will happen somewhere in the first days of may there will be the last rain, and literally a week after that, when everything dries up, they will follow jesus. and he is also very angry that the armed forces of the village received a total of 250 tanks of western models, well, different modifications and productions, and 1,500 armored vehicles also from different countries of origin with different capabilities but it will be the same shock fist that will be able to break , although it is not specified in which direction these compiled forces of the russian army why why it turns out that those wagnerites who in his opinion, prigozhina eh everything is on them and they still don't help them even though the russians are afraid of this very offensive and what can be the situation regarding the technical reinforcement of these tanks and armored vehicles that they

can actually eh objectively change in short-term perspective well, in the part that concerns the uproar of wagner and their leader, i agree that this is also good news - it is a sign that a serious confrontation is growing inside the towers of the kremlin . as far as i understand the situation in the political context, everyone has quite serious ambitions there, if i remember he is not betraying somewhere in the governorship in sankt-petersburg, and if those spiders in the bank started their dance of death, then so be it, because where there are confrontations , there are mistakes and mistakes. of course, i will contribute to our operational dynamic but at the same time, i have to remind you that all of them are bad for us without exception. the sum does not change in terms of moscow imperialism and the attitude of muscovites towards ukrainians. now, in relation to the armored package, it is truly an unprecedented phenomenon since the second world war. if we take the indicators of time and quantity, then nothing there was no such thing since the time of the first league, in the five years

of the second world war, the soviet union received within 12 armored vehicles, but if you understand what the scales were at that time of the war and what they are now indeed, ukraine has undergone such a weapon pumping that no country has experienced up to this point, including whether 250 machines is a lot. yes, this is a very serious potential, plus if you understand that these machines can work at distances further than 4 km, and the challenger must be confirmed, should we talk about if we talk about modern eyes tanks, they can be 7 km away, there is such information, and in comparison with tanks of russian production , they cannot replace anything at all, i have seven such tanks , i have small clarifications, and in the context of these weapons, the assistance of the armory, according to the data let's put it this way, according to nato analysis, the nato countries in the whole alliance helped us during the year, probably 50 billion dollars, of this very military component of military aid, most of it, of course, the united states there is

more than 30 billion, but the book is that these more than 50 billion are approaching in principle to of the entire defense budget of the russian federation, this is again related to the topic of comparison of western-style tanks that received a village about our armed forces and tanks that are used today by the russians, so that is approximately the russian budget military, it is from 60 to 80 billion according to various estimates. well, we are getting close to this figure . can we say this? if there are such forecasts, this war will drag on for next year. financing. and in general, in terms of possibilities, well, again, i would not raise the bar of emotional positive expectations so high , because in terms of human resources, we will never reach them, but in terms of quality , the quality of the armed forces is definitely yes, both in

terms of training and in terms of the supply of modern weapons will increase, in my opinion, last year's nato summit was nothing more than a ticking of the clocks regarding the break-off and before the launch of the great euro-atlantic military conveyor, which , unfortunately, will not work . as quickly as we would like it. information that russian forces are building fortifications, powerful fortifications there and in crimea and other positions in the east of ukraine and here. the question is how much they will become an obstacle for the equipment that is supplied to us, whether it is indifferent, we have 30 seconds left, if you can cancel it, you cannot be indifferent, you cannot cross these boundaries, we will have to use high-quality equipment, let's say an m58 machine that works through engineering barriers we already have it and this moment will improve

but at the same time, it will not be an easy walk, it will be hard work, mr. peter. thank you. petro chernyk , a military expert, joined our broadcast . the broadcast continues. germany will support ukraine even when the war drags on for years. in an exclusive interview with the tv channel, the president of the german buddhist congress, ber-belbas, said that although he notes that he will do this in partnership with other european countries , he actually announced that the european parliamentarians are currently thinking about how to guarantee ukraine's security in the future, ms. speaker, you had a very strong speech about ukraine about the ukrainian struggle, the main question for the ukrainian audience is what is the next step. ruslan stefanchuk said that we expect good news from vilnius already this summer. whether

we will have it, of course, is difficult to predict. but as we said, now is the time to talk about the delivery of ammunition, equipment, all you need now is really expecting a lot of strong signals during the parliamentary conference in vilnius. but as i said, it is difficult to predict now what exactly should happen , definitely, but also ukrainians remember 2008 when your country was against ukraine's accession to nato, so whether your country or your parliament changed its mind, of course we did not discuss this in the parliament, we are studying the situation in the context of russian aggression against ukraine, now we have to discuss and find ways to guarantee ukraine's security also in the future, just as we want to guarantee the security of nato member countries , of course, secret voting is important in nato in order

to follow the procedure, but this is what we have to discuss in the parliament. okay, but we also see that this war is becoming a war on exhaustion, is your country ready to support ukraine this year and maybe next if the war continues, as the chancellor of germany said , the support will last as long as it is needed, of course, in the long term , when this war ends, you also have think about things like reconstruction support your country's reconstruction efforts how do we find financial opportunities to carry out this reconstruction of course germany can't do it alone we have to discuss it at the european level but now that the war is going on we have to talk about how to deliver materials provide support what you need right now to bring this to a peaceful conclusion with your position i hope

we as a parliament do not decide what type of weapons should be provided we decide whether it should be transferred and you have be entirely the decision of the government not the parliament but our decision is known we want to support and we will support this is what we stand for ok i understand thank you very much thank you live broadcast continues and more news in short the crab self-propelled artillery installation helps the defenders to effectively destroy the enemy on the front line among the advantages of the polish self-propelled gun power, rapid fire, maneuverability , it remains elusive for counter-battery fire, the russians quickly worked out and changed positions, do not

hide from the gun even 30 km away, rapid fire rate 6 shots per minute, the occupiers are actively hunting the installations with the help of attack drones, but the defenders are protecting them, therefore, there is more danger for this self-propelled artillery crab than for other means of artillery combat , the lancets themselves are exactly the lancets, and that is why the lancet net, so-called, makes it impossible for the lancet to hit the numbers they worked with me for a long time, well, an ordinary copter that takes off at a target, it can not linger for a long time, but this time was enough for us to hit the tank, it was a direct hit, well, it is very good that the president of brazil changed his rhetoric regarding russia's aggression in ukraine, the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, mykhailo podoliak, said this in an exclusive interview

with the rada tv channel. it was said that a few weeks ago lullada silva defended the negotiations between ukraine and russia, but now he sharply criticized the aggression of the russian federation mykhailo podalyak noted that when the leaders of the countries allow themselves some ambiguous statements, it only shows that they are not too familiar with the topic of brazil. it seems to me that it is a little like that you know, inherent in global politics, it is certain that it is not relative to the head of brazil to mr. lulu, you know, infantilism. when you are shallow in the problem, when you do not understand the nature of the phenomenon, you do not understand the consequences. it is very good that they are changing their position. ukrainian youth is an important partner for reintegration issues of the crimean peninsula , the first deputy speaker of the verkhovna rada, oleksandr kornienko, said at the crimea forum, he noted that after the victory of ukraine and the return of the peninsula, the stage of

integration of the occupied territories will begin for this develop strategies, bills and involve the young generation at all levels. kornienko stressed the need to constantly communicate with the youth in order to then effectively and quickly implement all the developments and return ukrainian state power and services to crimea. we will need a lot of things there, in fact, start from scratch and ukraine as a european state which is currently being integrated into the european community and as a candidate member of the eu e-e we will definitely return this european e-e tradition european democracy

to crimea, we will return crimea to ukraine not only geographically, not only physically, but also mentally . that they should all be expelled and then if they want to live on the territory of the ukrainian sovereign state, they can submit requests to the ukrainian migration authorities say honestly, how are we all going through things right now that you can't get into your head, that's why every sharp sound can seem like a rocket, and in the silence you can hear sirens, it's from a strong anxiety that sits deep inside the mental health program and how to deal with anxiety, go to how are you .com to find out the political influence of china can

be used to restore the strength of the principles and rules on which peace should be based , president volodymyr zelenskyi said this after negotiations with the leader of the chinese people's republic of china xi jinping , he noted that now there is an opportunity to give new energy bilateral relations, ukraine and china, like me, the absolute majority of the world are equally interested in the strength of the sovereignty of nations and territorial integrity in observing the main security rules, in particular regarding the inadmissibility of threats of nuclear weapons and the spread of nuclear weapons to the world, of course , an essential part of the conversation is our views on how to restore a just i presented the ukrainian formula for peace and its specific points we agreed to continue our communications whether china will be able to become

an effective mediator and facilitate the end of the war between russia and ukraine, our colleagues and the diplomat ruslan osypenko were talking about it just now on the channel, i'm glad that the broadcast of the national marathon is the only news, and now we are joined by ruslan osypenko, the diplomat, mr. ruslan. congratulations, congratulations. of course, let's start with yesterday's communication the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi with the leader of china, all in the framework of which they once again emphasized that china is neutral in this war, despite the fact that in china continues to call it not a war but a ukrainian crisis, how much can we trust china now, we know that they are sending a special representative who will look for ways

to politically resolve this , i quote , the ukrainian crisis. that a dialogue is being established at the highest level, this is a positive moment for china, it is extremely important for the chinese, and if there is a dialogue at the highest level , there will also be a dialogue at the levels below, this is the first the second point is the appointment of the ambassador is extremely important because through the ambassador the president can convey our point of view not directly to the chinese leadership and the positive third point is that china appoints a separate person who will actually deal with this war ukrainian-russian, that is, it is separately allocated from the ministry of foreign affairs, despite the fact that he is a former ambassador to russia, and our leadership will also have

the opportunity to directly convey to him some diplomatic signals of our position and this also positively, the press secretary of the president of ukraine, serhiy nakiforov, spoke about the fact that they found points of contact in the issue of ukrainian peace. this is what they said about the peace formula of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. how much do you think we can agree with the chinese side? well, at the beginning of the journey, we noted those things that are suitable for ukraine and china, this is not the proliferation of nuclear weapons, first of all, because no one wants the third world use of nuclear weapons, this is clear, and it is clear to china , and to ukraine, then no one will implement any strategic goals are not china will not be able to become the number one economy that it plans and ukraine will not be able to liberate its territories until 91. ago this moment is common such a common point of contact is clear to everyone the rest

of the issues they will be difficult they will be difficult but the dialogue that has started it gives being able to zoom in on those points uh and look for those points of contact other than those nuclear weapons so this dialogue is extremely important about the united states of america as well let 's talk about the news from there joseph biden, the current president of the united states, announced that he will submit his candidacy next year in 2024. what do you think are joseph biden's chances of winning next year and, in general, how will the election campaign affect ukraine or will we feel it in any form? from my point of view, the chances are 50/50, because he will compete first of all with himself and his age . it seems to me that it depends not on meaningful things , but on his company. he has a point of view on

three main issues. this first issue is the success of the counter-offensive. and in general, how will it end? er war in ukraine, he directly invested a lot er and connected virtually all the resources of america and created the er euro- atlantic alliance which supports us with a united front. therefore, it depends on this issue , it depends on the issue to prevent a third world war because he does not want to be the president who brought the world to the brink of disaster and the third issue is undoubtedly internal economic issues in the united states, we see that now an economic crisis is actually developing, and in particular in the banking system inflation we we see a growing number of voters there in the united states of america, and this issue is also important, plus the strategic confrontation with

china, which will also affect the economic situation in the united states of america, because these are the resources that will go to the confrontation with china, so these three the question depends on what success the biden administration will have on these tracks, and this is how it will be used against us, without a doubt , support for the 23rd year is guaranteed to us and for the 24th year, it will not be quite the same guaranteed because it will depend there on the struggle of political points of view, er, in fact, in this election campaign , biden to you for speaking like this, ruslan osypenko , diplomat. thank you once again for joining our broadcast, so stay with the nationwide marathon, the only news and with us representatives of the tv channel

, the council of ukraine will have the opportunity to join the eu in spite of the fact that only after peace has come to the country , this was stated in an exclusive interview with the tv channel by the head of the national council of slovakia borys skolar says that this path involves complex procedures and there are no detours, so he called to fulfill all the requirements, let's hear it, mr. speaker, speaking about ukraine's prospects in nato. yes, i saw that you, answering the questions of your journalists from your country , said that it should be precisely after the victory, yes that is, during the war - it is impossible. and why is this and can it happen immediately after the victory of ukraine in this war , uh, we welcome your activity, your desire to join not only the european

union, but also nato, you can get the answer to the summit in vilnius, but it is not decided by slovakia, it is the slovenian parliamentary parliament. and the whole commonwealth is already uh, i want to say that joining the senate involves complex procedures and there are no detours. you aim to be able to join these structures and get ratification when all the requirements are met . completed confirmed er in your country i would like to emphasize that all of us in our country are holding our fists for you that the war will end with your victory and i think it will not last long but i know that the option was considered well at least he discussed in the ukrainian media whether it is possible

for ukraine to join nato on the condition that the alliance does not help liberate the occupied territories, that is, those territories which, as of ukraine's accession to the alliance, will be under the umbrella of nato, that is, they will be protected, but the rest will be liberated, well at least with the support that is currently taking place on the part of our partners . until peace comes, this is an important element, because we respect the agreements made before our entry by ratification without peace, all

parliaments will not be able to ratify your entry into nato and the council will already start negotiating. forint fairs about the fact that slovakia, poland and the czech republic advocated security guarantees for ukraine before joining nato. can you reveal the details of what we are talking about, because about six months ago, some kind of securit y compact was developed in kyiv, so a security agreement to which volodymyr zelenskyy called on other countries to join, i can say that this initiative and competence belongs to our prime minister eduard geger, we do not take part in it, i myself represent the parliament, our parliament can ratify the resolution after all issues are agreed upon, this is a joint initiative of the president of the slovak republic the speaker

of the parliament and the prime minister, and the declaration you are talking about is an initiative of the prime minister, i treat it with respect, but i will not comment because it is our international policy but i say frankly, we really support your country's actions regarding joining nato, but you have to fulfill all the requirements of the mandate as the slovak parliament , speeding up these negotiations is not included, it is clear that we support ukraine, but we have no influence on the course of these processes, we only ratify them at the very end, then the last question, we see that the countries that are closer to ukraine, they transfer soviet aircraft for ukraine migga 29 were transferred and why the problem with modern western aviation f-16 for example in your opinion to these questions in the slovak republic there were mig-29 fighters, we handed them over. i
