of special civilian equipment the war in russia, why is the branch of the russian communist party still working in ukraine and is it true that zelenskyi and his team are preparing for elections in ukraine , we will talk about all this in the next hour i want to introduce our first guest - he is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a major specially appointed from the people's deputy, this is the convocation of ihor lapin, p. major , good day, good health, i am glad to see you on our air, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes and glory to those people who are bringing the end of the russian empire closer, let's get started our conversation with the russian volunteer corps , which entered the territory of the belgorod region on may 22, the legion of freedom of russia announced that they would fight until

the victorious end of the russian empire at the head of with vladimir putin, the russian governor vyacheslav glatkov said that there is a counter -terrorist operation in the belgorod region, or how they are reducing who well, who is glagtov about this and told journalists , let's look at the dead, the average population for today, all the necessary actions from the country of the security forces, they are being carried out, waiting for the end the completion of the contouring operation, which was announced by the major, the russians boasted on saturday and sunday that they entered and took control of most of bakhmut, well, almost all of bakhmut, and suddenly what is it and how to perceive it and how to interpret it, because

the russians say that it is a counter-terrorist operation, we are talking about the fact that we support those russians who are fighting for their freedom, what is a russian volunteer battalion and in what way can they shake it the situation inside russia and how it will help us in the russo-ukrainian war, well, first of all, on this matter. i have several opinions, so not the first one concerns us. do we have the right to... of international law we are not the occupier. will we do it? i think no, because from the point of view of international law and we are not the occupier , the western partners have the right to restore order in russia , and exactly the same not from the point of view of the same international law, and then who can bring order in russia apart from the russians themselves. now let's still make some theses in the context

of belarusian events, so the fact that the russian volunteer corps was formed are people who are dissatisfied with the regime, are they people who are dissatisfied with the empire, or do their interests coincide with ours in the context of the collapse of the empire yes, of course, they coincide because this is one of the elements of our own security , the absence of the empire is our security, including whether these groups of this volunteer corps are able to reach moscow today by themselves , no, but if i see that there is support from the population it is the population of russia, then i will say that it is so today, so far i do not see it but nevertheless, these are the beginnings of some future movement, and we will observe it , the question is whether the russians fought on the side of democracy

on the side in defense of ukraine that is how they fought in me in the aidar battalion there were russian citizens who fought against the russians, and yulia tulopa herself, there were so many people who were even convicted in absentia in russia for participating in the protection of the sovereignty of ukraine from the aggressor. he is an aggressor, he is a bandit and an aggressor. we have kadirovs and beets here, and well, there are many of them, so there is a story about bryansk itself . well, i think there is belgorod, bryansk, of course - these are the areas that border with us, i would also noted kuban. i wouldn't forget about rostov, can it be security, such a demilitarized belt of our security, so it is possible to work. do we have to support it, of course, even as a people's deputy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine

of the last convocation. he said that we need to support such a country, the cossacks. there in the kuban area , why not support it, and this is the same story in that situation . if we speak from the point of view of history, now from the point of view of the military, so to speak, the commander, uh, that means what i would note, well , first of all, we entered from two directions, uh, let 's say so. which are being done now in those settlements that, let's say, are located in this zone, and the premises of the fsb of the security forces are burning . so the guys understand very well who rules the country. well , it's not their state opinion, their governors are appointed and so on. in russia, the fsb and

other security forces rule, that's why they left hereby right way or wrong way right way right or will they be able to complete any other tasks? well, we know that on the territory of belgorod region there are a lot of military warehouses, including weapons, can they seize it to arm themselves, of course they can, unfortunately our propagandists of yesterday's medvedchuk canals are starting to drown i'll explain what exactly i mean, they start telling us that we 're going to moscow, we'll get there, here we are, cheers , ukrainian patriots, i emphasize once again that these are not ukrainian patriots, and that's it focus attention on the fact that the world community will not accept the occupation of part of russia by the ukrainian armed forces, then we will be the occupiers. why is this, so to speak, er

, this, this, let the russian media scum eat, and i see how today we already have yesterday the representatives of medvedchuk and those tv channels are beginning to blurt out that ukraine is allegedly going somewhere and in this way fueling the counter-propaganda of the information war is not in favor of ukraine, so i draw attention using the opportunity of your broadcast to the attention of the service security of ukraine, why discredit our own country in the eyes of the international community by exposing us as invaders let's go let's go mr. major and i'm going to be specific because you talk so modestly about these propagandists don't name the name i'll name the name of the person who is responsible for this natasha vlashchenko she recorded a video and in this video she is, well, tytry, which is all three, belgorod and let's get to moscow

, be afraid, russians, well , that is, she speaks on behalf of the ukrainian community, let's say, and says that they say, we came to belgorod, we are going to moscow and be afraid of the russians, the security service of ukraine should deal with this because, considering the past of natasha vlashchenko, it cannot be ruled out that this is a typical, well, canned provocation, just the fsb, who are now trying to legalize this idea that ukrainians have come to kill russians in the belgorod region, so not only natasha vlashchenko, we know that there are many fugitives, especially fugitives who escaped from ukraine after a full-scale invasion and now also appear in russian mistakes. well-known, because i emphasize here, it does not work in favor of ukraine, and these statements of vlaschenko, for which you also know. well , it is in general. this is some nonsense. that is, it is for the international community. i remember

many things very well, as usual, i will not be surprised if tomorrow russia will want to convene without the un regarding the invasion of ukraine, you understand. and the most important thing is how they will feed it to their own consumers . well, the spinelessness and openness of the borders of russia itself, well, that's ok, but we should be interested in another thing, what will putin's regime do? well, what he will announce a total mobilization. well, in principle, they may have mobilization. but for them, it can happen after such statements by vlaschenko. for the russians, it can become like a holy war. we are already seeing the appeal of certain groups of people who say, vladimir vladimirovich, give us weapons, the enemy will not pass. we barked here, that is, this is the story. and this is exactly what it is . well, i think it undermines the authority of ukraine as a country that is fighting for its independence from occupation by the occupiers in this context. i

think that there should be an immediate reaction and in including in relation to those youtube channels on which this narrative is spread, there should be a reaction of the nsdc, not even vlaschenko herself. well, she didn’t record it in herself, it went to many public places. and who is it? pushkin who is this pr person, so let them investigate, i won't elaborate now, the relevant services should deal with it, we can't do their work for them, they have a salary, they work. by the way, the salary is no less than that of soldiers on the front line. the journalist and political scientist writes on his facebook page that due to the fact that the russian volunteer battalion crossed the border and entered the territory of the belgorod region, russia is already transferring part of the troops from the front to the belgorod region, he refers to a source in ukrainian intelligence and cites this

source in particular on currently , a decision is being made regarding the possible transfer of units of the 3rd motorized rifle division of the 20th combined arms army, the permanent deployment point of valuyka, belorussian region, from the combat area of ​​makiyivka square from luhansk oblast to belgorod oblast, to what extent can such moments and such situations pull away the forces that are currently on the eastern front on the southern front and stretch them further there to the northeast through kharkiv, sumy , chernihiv oblasts. you already mentioned the kursk region, you already mentioned the bryansk region, there is still a thicket, and the voronezh region is also there , in principle, not far from the north-eastern part of ukraine. well, you know, i saw a thesis yesterday in russian publications that

sounded like this, well, to hell with him and belgorod for that they will not take voronezh, well, somewhere so expanded, their thoughts went er, in this context, how realistic is the scenario of taking some parts of the troops er, well, the fact is that the russian army does not consist only of those four hundred thousand who are on the territory of ukraine today the russian army still has in addition to these four hundred thousand, we still have a lot of troops, starting from the far east and ending somewhere in the moscow region, the question is whether they will be transferred , well, they probably will. should go on a rotation, especially since that part, as i understood from the words you just quoted, this part is just that, and it has a point of permanent deployment somewhere in belohorodshchyna, and in principle, it can go three times, it is on a rotation, but instead of resting somewhere there in the cults of constant dislocation will deal with the localization of those actions of the russian e-e insurgents who are today fighting against the evil empire well, to be honest, it can be

how radically it will change the situation on the fronts in our country. this means in the east well, i don't think that this will radically change the human resources in russia, there are a lot of technical issues, but the technical issue itself is very acute . does not do, that is, they sit in positions, dig trenches and so on, but in order to believe in the future success of all these actions , i have to see the support of the population, if there is support, then yes, because the population provides not only a material resource there providing but human resources for the same labor force and capturing warehouses with weapons near belgorod and with ammunition and so on. well, this can play a key role in what will be used to arm this population. therefore, we have to

look at it, but i emphasize once again that this is now an internal issue in this context, will we help the rebels in russia? of course, we have the moral right to help, and if there is such an opportunity, we can do it. all the more. well, it's the russians , that's the most important thing. let's talk about the situation on the eastern front. we have a video. yuriy, an orphan, a soldier, a grenade launcher of the fifth separate assault regiment of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the verkhovna rada of the seventh convocation, let's hear what yurko said about the situation on the front line. bakhmut is in the lowlands, like the one who controls the heights, the one who controls the city of the heights towards the temporal ravine, we constantly controlled the heights from the side the ivanivka enemy managed, as a result of the incredibly huge sacrifices

of spent iron , to temporarily buy is located below in a pit in a trap under our constant fire strike on the ruins of the city where you cannot hide at all, so of course it is a pity that the ukrainian city of bakhmut was completely destroyed, but war is a big chessboard there , the pieces on the field win, not the cells, today the russians, at the cost of huge losses , believe that partly occupied one of the cells , but as many as they put their pieces . well, they won’t give anything to pyrrha victory , and it shows how their flanks are cracking, how they are now pulling up reserves here, and how for that so that there is no failure, russia is constantly using aviation, cluster munitions, phosphorous artillery to stop our advance. it was yuriy syrotyuk, let me remind you, a soldier, a grenade launcher of the fifth separate assault

regiment of the armed forces of ukraine, and a member of the svobodov movement, a deputy of the seventh convocation of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, during the last few days of the pva yura, we heard different information about the situation in bakhmut, there were volodymyr zelenskyi's answers and then clarifications during the meeting with representatives of the big seven and zelenskyi's briefing with biden spoke about the fact that the russians lost 100,000 soldiers in bakhmut , well, obviously killed and sanitary losses, as it looks now . this is the situation around bakhmut. his mission and what will actually happen next if the russians do take full control of bakhmut well, let's face it, there are

two negative news in this story and a few positive ones about the negative we also became in the information space with hostages of russian propaganda, which began to idealize the city of bakhmut as if it were there. well, their success is the coolest at the same time from our side, just as if everyone, as they say , in the information spaces there, the topic of the bakhmut fortress and so on was promoted there. it seems that there is avdiivka or maryinka whether vugledar or other settlements are not fighting heroically, and it is a pity that we have not really refined the information war in this context . as for the second negative, the fact is that the city of bakhmut itself not only has lowlands, but also has heights in which there is some urban buildings and even destroyed houses, these are all exactly those new locations that can

to a certain extent serve as shelters for the next most important thing and now to the positive. the aidar battalion is working, and they just pushed these flanks into the russians. well, of course, with units of others and with other units of the armed forces of ukraine, but i say that they were standing on the edge of the attack, and this for me is , well, it is symbolic for me personally, let's say it like this we were the first to be replaced, we are worthy of that, this is the story and here it is very correct as regards our tactical successes on the flags well, first of all, we remember that horseshoe in which the defenders of bakhmut were, now the teeth of that horseshoe are broken and now we we are starting to form a horseshoe around bakhmut, both in the north and in the south, with access to the waterway of bakhmut, in fact, the garrison of bakhmut, the russian occupation garrison of bakhmut

, will be in an operational-tactical environment, and they will then have problems with logistics prigozhin somehow announced the evacuation of bakhmut and the transfer of bakhmut to the russian armed forces. before that, he handed over the flanks because he understood that the flanks would not hold back, so that later they would blame the generals of the general staff and so on, and now he is starting to say exactly the same that he wants to get out of bakhmut to patch up the wounds, as he says, and the city will be handed over to the control of the armed forces . he understands the risks of this encirclement, and for wagner to be encircled, well, that's what they have there, and there is already 10 percent at most 20 percent of the personnel whose personnel prigozhina was today the prisoners are not very caught in this unit and the entrance is not a particular problem. in this context, therefore, he wants to jump out, so to speak , to the winners who took the transfer with their armed forces there, and then all the responsibility will once again be on the generals and this

potential entourage that can to become a key player in the battle for bakhmut, it can play a very good role in our favor already at the height - it is true to sit in a pit - it is death when, especially when there is an arta around you on the heights that simply throws you into that pit, you know everything that is not a horse everything flies by, everything is in the topic. the city is a pity, the city is destroyed. i also sympathize with the residents, but i do not have hope that it was possible to evacuate everyone who could have evacuated from there, well, until them, those who gave , come to russia. well, then they waited. well, what about me? i can say. here i can't say anything. this is the story of the deputy minister of defense of ukraine

, hanna malyar, who says that russian activity in the bakhmut direction has decreased. stably high in the city of bakhmut, the fighting has decreased, the enemy continues to clear the areas under his control, er, well, actually, this is the situation now in bakhmut, but er, i would like to return to the prospects and to er, the possible acquisition of f16 planes, because the topic of f16 is the topic of the last week, moreover, meetings at different levels and conversations at different levels, e.e., the big seven plus zelensky in individual european states, the netherlands, denmark, great britain , everyone is talking about the fact that these planes will arrive in ukraine literally in a few months, at the same time white house adviser jake salvan says that biden has not yet decided whether the united states will send its f-16 because according to the current rule, the country that produces the 16 must give permission for ek or rak sport of these

fighters, but uh, in the united states the united states of america hopes that these aircraft will not be used in the war against russia or to launch strikes on russian territory according to your p major, what can deter the west from providing these weapons with high precision and good weapons and how the f-16 can change the course of the russian-ukrainian war as they can to help us well, what can stop the west from providing us , for example, tanks uh, there and so on, a similar story . as of today, this question has already been resolved, in my deep conviction, the west today is not only ready for the victory of ukraine, not only ready for the defeat

of russia, the west is already ready for the quick defeat of russia, so it is necessary to decide what to do, what what to do next with russia after our victory and its defeat. if such a decision has already been made, then in principle barriers, warnings and everything else that putin's friends, who have a certain degree of influence on many leaders , including those of the western world, use putin from fresteina they still won't be able to change the course of history because the decision has been made and it's short how quickly and how much it can change history for us look well doing something on the ground at a time when you are flying faintly is quite difficult, i must say well, in a simple way, we can only contrast russian aviation with other aviation. the f16 solves several global tasks. after all, it is a universal plane that can solve several global tasks, and

these tasks consist in what they can fight against other aircraft. they can use surface-to-air missiles to fight against ground targets, they can carry bombs, work according to the principle of bombers, register attack aircraft, and in fact, they can perform functions , including air defense for that is, ukraine has so many target aircraft, the number of aircraft in the world. well, if my memory serves me correctly, i heard a figure of up to six thousand, well, they say, it seems like 5,000 in the world for us to solve the global issue of air supremacy. i think well, i say specialists there are 50, uh, 100 planes . well, you know, with caution, i would say up to 200. well, when the world has five or six thousand , well, 200 is not so much, but for us it will change very dramatically. will we

use it? on the territory of russia i already said that we are not occupiers, but simply not occupiers in order for us to defeat russia, we need not only airplanes, we need basic principles - this is ukraine's membership in nato - this is the absence of a threat from the empire, its demilitarization is underway, nuclearization is underway. these are our security guarantees. within the borders, there is a squadron there and so on, there are somewhere up to 50 aircraft, there should be 40 clutches . well, okay, they decide very strongly for a contour attack to counter russian aviation . they have such systems that can hit russian aircraft at a long distance, being outside the reach zone, the planes will not fly into the territory of russia, the prices will not be because there is no logic, because russia also has anti -aircraft defense and a lot of things, they will just shoot them down in the same way as if they were shot down by

russian planes, why don’t they fly over ukraine where we control where there is a strong anti-aircraft system. i understand that in russia it is somewhere leaky, somewhere not leaky, they generally spend their air defense missiles s300 on the fact that we bomb the ground and not work against the air, now i think they will also change their tactics, they will protect their missiles which earlier they threw them on the ground, they will protect them, having the understanding that even more planes may appear in our country, that is why such a story p . arab states league of arab states do you have the feeling that the world is ready to make a political decision, well , the majority of the world that russia is the way it is and such an aggressive state it

threatens not only ukraine or europe but also the whole to the world well, let's say the word world like that, if we say the western world, democratic countries, then they are ready for the defeat of russia , as for the trip to the left - to the league of arab countries and so on, zelensky spoke. i want to say that after his speech , he did not break the applause there the most important thing, i think, was the statement made after this speech, and the statement was made that the arab world would maintain neutrality at the same time , the trip to jseven, the announcement about the planes , the meeting with the prime minister of india, mondi

which, in principle, we know india today, despite the sanctions , is one of the largest consumers of russian oil and diesel, and not only a consumer. would we need to work in diplomacy there, but in general well, i would say yes, bets are made by the lord somewhere , this is how it looks to me today . thank you, mr. major. it was a major of the armed forces of ukraine, a special political officer , a people's deputy of ukraine 8- th convocation igorlan, friends, we are working live for those who are watching us live on youtube and facebook, please like our video, subscribe to our social networks. you can also join the sponsor club of youtube channel espresso , now you will see a qr-code by clicking on which you you will receive detailed instructions on how to join our respected and best club of sponsors of the espresso youtube channel , any help from you will be quite useful and necessary for us, in addition,
